Good points, Bulljive. I still think Spain deserved to win the game but it was disappointing to see Holland play the way the did. They were very fortunate to not receive a red card earlier. As for the best chance in regulation.......David Villa's shot off the rebound inside the six was a great miss and Ramos' header(though that might have been extratime)....let's not forget Fabregas' breakaway in extratime. Holland missed a couple of chances indeed but Spain missed more. It's interesting you mentioned Spain's goal total as I was saying the same thing to the buddy I was watching the game with. They weren't exactly scoring goals like the Germans or Argentinians for that matter......Torres played a big part in that. Villa scored 5 but missed many other chances including a PK. He should have wrapped the golden boot up earlier. As for Iniesta totally agree. He was making an arse of himself as were many players in the tournament. I really hate to see that in the game, especially when it is usually the 'better' players. Doesn't advertise the game that we love the way it should.
