My son say the final is a clash between two traditionally underachieving teams.

Haha, I was hoping Germany would come through. Didn't watch, but heard they played badly compared to the Spanish. --A |

Currently ranked 2nd and 4th in the world, so not too under-achieving... --A |

Traditionally though, Netherlands and Spain have come to World Cups with all the players, great form etc, and have fluffed it. Not this time! Germany v Uruguay was a great game, Germany ending up winners 3-2. It was open and exciting - I'm glad I watched it! |

Germany v. Uruguay was a very good and exciting game. Man, the kids and I all screamed when that last second shot barely missed! |

I must say I'm relieved that Spain came away with the World Cup. Thoroughly deserved. It would have been a travesty if the Dutch had stolen the game after the tactics they employed.  Viva Espana! |

Yeah, agreed. The Dutch played a dirty game. And on the whole, the final was pretty unexciting. --A |

It was tense, hard fought, but definitely not entertaining for the neutral observer. The finals are often like that. Now I can get some sleep! |

My kids tell me the third/fourth place match is usually better than the championship match - the teams have literally nothing to lose at that point, so they play a looser and more aggressive game. We missed the final, because that was the day we left for our beach vacation. But if one team was playing a lot dirtier than the other, I am glad the dirty team lost.
