Well Deserved for Spain!

Well Deserved for Spain!
Yep, better of the two sides without a doubt
-
Didn't see what the Dutch where upset about?
-
Hmmm, I think this shows again that FIFA really need to do something about their officials >:(
I started out supporting the Spaniards - I'd said a couple of weeks ago they were going to win the final - but the quality of the officials was definately stacked against the Dutch...
-
Is it all over?
Thank god for that.

......
it is now! ::) ::)

Ref did the Dutch a massive favour there at least, and having seen why the Dutch got the hump at the end they can't complain about that either. Shame for them but delighted for Spain. :y

Yup. Nasty. But I think the decisions being made up to that point where leading to Dutch frustration.
Have you seen the Spanish media today saying that those officials were unfair, and biased towards Dutch? That was the beginning of the mindgames, and I think Howard fell for it.
I was, as said, supporting the Spanish, and I think the best team won, but I felt that too many decisions went against the Dutch (or more accurately, the Spanish got away with a lot more).
Like most of the games in this competition, I think FIFA and their officials look very, very bad.

Additionally, despite what that prat Hanson says, it was a poor game of football, whoever you were supporting. Very tedious, bad tempered game, with neither side wanting to play until extra time

Certainly agree there.

I still think Inestra should of been red carded for that off the ball foul....Then he pops up and scores the winner...Webb should hang his head in shame,he was as usefulas a chocolate fireguard.... >:( >:( >:( >:( And yes i am pissed off cause i had to give mrs bertie a fiver for her spaniards winning.... ;D ;D ;D

I don't think this world cup has been a very good example of football. Haven't watched every match by any means but think the whole series has been flawed for some reason.
I suspect the winning goal was offside from an earlier play.
Missed the karate kick though! Was watching Best of You've Been Framed off HDD. Was it the wrong decision? ;D ;D
-
Speaking as an ex referee, I have to say the standard imho is really poor.
Personally, I think that FIFA use all the 'top league' refs which means that they normally do 'middles' as we say....and do not do many lines on normal weekly games.
To be honest, you would get better linesmen if you used the guys that ref in the feeder leagues and do lines most weekends :y
On my past experiences, getting Class One's is a case of 'if your face fits'

It's been crap, why do they insist on changing the ball at the start of the competition, does nothing for the game.
Well iknow why, money, but it's all b****x, Blatter should be shot at dawn and the new ball and hawk eye introduced immediately after

the new ball was supplied to all participants in march (i believe that was the date) however the FA lost thier assignment of 23 balls and did not request any replacements, even though other countries bought and paid for additional balls
But don't let the facts stop a good rant ;D

Forgetting the incompitence of our own FA, all teams seemed to be struggling a bit with it. Why introduce a new one so close to competition?
I suspect this new, lighter ball (difficult to keep down) was introduced to allow more long range shots, rather than proper football of playing it into the box.

did you see the bounce it took when holland gave the ball back to spain to allow treatment - kudos to the dutch for just passing the ball to the keeper from the resulting corner :y
alarm bells started with the ball when green let it in against the usa, then all through the tournament there were bizarre keeping errors, shots moving oddly, terrible free kicks (Japan seemed the only side with a clue). Its a financial decision - i think they should have left it at the iconic Adidas Tango from '78 and '82 :y they still fetch over £100 on e-bay :o

Watching the way it dips and moves about, its like playing with a cheap kids plastic ball.
Maybe all part of FIFA's attempt to make the top flight game to use same equipment as kids that toe-poe the balls in the local park ::).

Any golfers on here may well know, if you find a worn out golf ball in your bucket at the driving range and leather that out there it will dart around in a totally random manner, completely uncontrollable. Even with a generous slice in your swing. ::) it may not turn as you might think.
As TB says, they've taken all the detail of the ball surface so the air has far less affect on holding the balls trajectory. Its a total lottery as to weather the ball goes as placed, or where the keeper thinks it will be when gets to him. Random football, and I suspect the lack of weight to it is why Tores and Rooney among others had such an appalling world cup. The ball just bounced of them, seems to me anyway.

Rooney had a bad world cup because:
a) he is a useless, lazy player
b) he can get away with above at Man U due to a fantastic midfield, but England was a collection of good players, not a good team...

Doesn't think much of Villa supporters either. (snigger)
And Tores? However it's spelt?

The ball has had an impact, but that useless idiot Rooney cannot use that as an excuse for being a useless idiot

Everyone at Liverpool is praying Torres will stay. I would let him go while we can still get good money (£35 million, reputedly) for him.

He's a fantastic player, hope he doesn't turn into an injury-prone crock like Michael Owen, looks like they rushed him into service for the final

Eh? Have you actually watched any Premiership football last season? ( I'm not a Liverpool fan by the way)
He ain't rubbish by any stretch of the imagination :o

Did you watch any of the word cup?
Rest of the team was a shambles, but when he did have the ball he was pathetic!
He never chased ball with any enthusiasm, when he did finally catch up, he managed to loose possession in matter of seconds.
He's another over-paid talentless runt, what he gets paid in a day a British Soldier gets paid in a year. >:(
The amount he gets paid he could have put some feking effort in >:(

I grant you that in the world cup he was useless, what we saw was a pale shadow of what he's capable of, very disappointing I know. It was plainly obvious that he was nowhere near full fitness, as proved when he pulled up with an injury in the final.
All Premiership players are overpaid, but in my opinion Torres is one of the few who still has his feet on the ground. He married his girlfriend a little while back with no fanfair or Hello mag million-pound deal, and had no interest in doing so. Anyone will tell you that he's a quality player, no matter what you saw during the world cup
