This match hurt and I'm not going to forget it for a very long time. :( There were 2 yellow cards thrown against the Dutch during normal time that were certainly not deserved (though the others were, De Jong was lucky he didn't get a straight red for that karate kick lol). The extra time just...the Dutch were robbed. Van Bronckhorst didn't deserve his last WC opportunity to end like this.

By the end I was hoping for penalty kicks too, and I can't handle penalties. Now I don't have the closure I should've had at the end of the game and I'm just torn up about it. :-\

I so agree with you. Some yellow cards were deserved and some weren't. Iniesta's two dives were so low and I can't stand skillful players doing that.

The match left a really bad taste.

I love the fact that Spain wins. I still blame the referee here and there, but meh... I guess in the end I can't really complain.
But I think all the flaws in the game were parts of the beauty that is football. It's wicked and dirty and beautiful. But it's probably just me. The Dutch played great too, it's just a matter of time before they'll be champion as well. I don't like the way the leave total football but hey, this is a different era. I can't stand Sneijder though (maybe this is just my inner Milanisti saying though *shrugs*)

I agree with you on this. But in this World Cup there were too many "flaws" to my liking. The world's best players deserve the world's best referees and this time they just didn't get those.

I bookmarked this post so i wouldn't forget to comment cause i totally agree! The referee was awful, especially the last few minutes. But it's all over, and we should try to focus on what we have achieved, cause we had a great World Cup summer :)
