You both know that my knowledge of soccer is limited to what I learned on the sidelines of your games years ago. Having said that, I must say Holland's tactics of aggressive [to put a nice face on it] play to physically intimidate the Spanish wasn't pretty, was dirty at times and certainly not very sporting. I guess if you can't intercept the pass you take out the passer ... any way you can.They deserved to lose on that alone.
After getting 9 yellows and one red, the Dutch then blamed their loss on the referees. Hypocrisy? Never my favorite people the Dutch. Of course the ref wasn't perfect; that would be impossible. For example he should have immediately ejected the karate kicker who kicked the Spanish mid fielder right in the chest.
Good world cup overall except for the vuvuzelas. Amazing noise, must have been dreadful up close.
