The big 2010 World Cup final with two teams that few expected to reach this stage of the competition and battle it out for the ultimate trophy in football as the Netherlands welcome Spain this Saturday.
Netherlands with 6 victories out of 6 matches so far in the competition exited in stile from a easy group after defeating Denmark, Japan and Cameroon. Their 8th Finals opponent, Slovakia where no match for them as well but put up a real fight.
Brazil where the only big name that the Dutch encountered so far showing great discipline in tactics to defeat the multiple champions 2-1 after a tense match.
The semi finals brought a very spectacular match against Uruguay, a match that ended 3-2 for Netherlands but Spain will certainly prove a harder opponent for them.
With the last 3 matches played between these 2 teams ending in victory for the Netherlands, Spain is certainly determined to lift the trophy in front of them.
Spain started the tournament with a painful defeat at the hands of Switzerland but recovered in the following matches to bet the mighty Germany in the semi-final.
Their top player so far was David Villa from which fans expect to show a great form in the final as well but their main strength so far was in the group play and tactical arrangement on the pitch.
My tip: Spain to win (under 2.5 goals )
