World Cup Final Preview: Holland v Spain 11/7/10

The Final of the South Africa World Cup 2010 is tomorrow and we are guaranteed not just a European winner but also a first-time World Champion. But aside from the two teams a congratulations has to come from a England perspective as we do have English representatives in the final. Referee Howard Webb and his officials Darren Cann and Mike Mullarkey will take control of the prestigious event in what will be their biggest game yet. They've already officiated three flawless games so far in the World Cup and they made the grade from the Champions League Final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan and now move on to the World Cup Final between Holland and Spain. To pick a winner from these two is hard, unless you're a psychic octopus! Holland are thus far unbeaten and deservedly so whereas Spain haven't looked back from their first game defeat to Switzerland. Holland have an immense goal threat with Sneijder, Kuyt, Van Perise and Robben all potential match winners. Spain have looked towards David Villa for their goals but their dominance of possession is second to none and Holland will find it hard to break Spain down. Paul the Psychic Octopus has gone for Spain and I'm very much on the fence, my heart says Holland because I'm big fan of their football but my head Spain and I think my head, like the octopus, will be right with Spain winning 2-1.
