Well, this is it, only one more match and it's all over. The final features Spain and the Netherlands. Both teams are eminently worthy of the championship, they have been outstanding, the cream of the crop. As far as who I want to win, I'm of two minds about it. On the one hand it'd be nice if the Dutch could win it after having lost two finals beforehand (in 1974 and 1978) and I would enjoy seeing the jubilant scenes of orange fireworks from Amsterdam. On the other though is that Spain are really the better team, I mean, what they did to Germany was ridiculous. And a good friend of mine who was a big Spain fan passed away last year and I know he'd have been over-the-moon to see all this, so just in his memory it'd be nice (he did get to see them win Euro 2008, though.)
So here's hoping for a great match! It's been a GREAT World Cup, I'm very pleased.
