It's the big one tonight but I'm still torn over who to support.

Loved Holland ever since WC74 and I've got them in the sweep at work. On the other hand I've done a lot of travelling in Spain and speak the language a little so they're usuallly my no.2 team to support.

Who is everyone rooting for ?

I like to keep racism and politics out of sport, so I'll be rooting for Catholic Spain over the Dutch heretics.

Spain. I have them in the sweep…I get £100 if they win.

Hasta la vista, for sure.

If Spain win .I get to ask the trivia question which was the only unbeaten team in the 2010 world cup?

I don't normally do football threads, but in this case it has to be hup holland

The Spanish will have better victory parties so I'm going with them.

Holland of course, none of those nasty Papist Anti-Christs!

No Pot-Pourri!!!! 😉

After these disgraceful incidents against English sportsmen in recent years, i find it difficult to support Spain im afraid…. 😕

Plus i think the Holland kit looks ace! 😉

2 years ago when Spain won the Europeans there was the biggest street party you could ever imagine.

We´re all looking forward to an even bigger celebration tonight.

Spain 2 Holland 0 😆

For sure, I'll be supporting Holland.

They were unlucky to lose the 78 final; it's about time they got another go.

Andy

Spain.

The Dutch for sure because they make better cheese 🙂

I am supporting the English police presence (sorry Howard Webb ) in the final ,let's hope he has a good game

If Spain win .I get to ask the trivia question which was the only unbeaten team in the 2010 world cup?

New Zealand! (& potentially Holland – if Spain won on pens could you argue Holland were unbeaten?

Correct it's New Zealand only if Spain win as you say.It happened in 1974 the answer then was Scotland

Who honestly cares. If Spain win tonight and score less than five goals, they'll be the lowest scoring side ever to win. Which about fits in what's probably the worst world cup in recent memory. For me, Germany should have won…they were the only ones who played to their full potential and were sometimes greater than the sum of their parts.

Spain for me 🙂

Mainly due to the high Barca contigent, it'll make up for defeat by Inter

I agree with darcy on this one, after ze Germans destroyed England and did the same to Argentina, they really should've played a lot better in the semi, it was bit of a disapointment to be honest.

Can see the final being a bit like the Mexico '86 one really.

Wonder if the Spaniards will let Roben cut inside on his left foot, hopefully not 😆

Isn't that more a question of poor opposition than a quality German side. If they're so good why aren't they in the final? Spain took the game to them and they couldn't respond.

¡A por ellos!

Spain prevented them playing – they never let them have the ball.

So Spain don't deserve to win because they have not scored many?
What bollox ,they obviously didn't let in many either so their defence must be world class.There is more to a football team than the front 2 or 3 you know!!

Are Spain the best side in the tournament? Yeah, probably (whether they win tonight or not).

Have they even for fifteen minutes of a game played the breathtaking football of which they're capable? No. Just bloody ticky tacky keepie the bally come and get it off us if you can-ie. Apart from occasional moments of skill from Villa, they've not inspired at all.

That's genius that is. 😆

Well you don't seem to think so from your comment about goals scored

Spain prevented them playing – they never let them have the ball.

Those nasty, nasty Spaniards – that's just not fair really!

If the final were Saturday I'd like to see Spain win, but then I have to get up early tomorrow so Holland all the way!

but then I have to get up early tomorrow so Holland all the way!

😆 😆 😆 😆

I'm looking for Spain to win and leave me quiet roads in the morning! 😉

For shure Nederlands all de way…..C'mon you Cloggers!

Holland, on penalties after a nil-nil

It's my only chance in the fantasy league 🙁

The Dutch, in memory of The Master Dennis Bergkamp.

Spain. I know some Spanish people, but no Dutch.

Hup Holland! For sure!

What the F*** do you have to do to earn a f****** red???

Commit a red card offence?

Commit a red card offence?

And studs up into the chest isn't? Or is that just a smartarse reply?

Football??? At this rate I hope Holland get stuffed as they're trying a new tactic of kicking the opponents off the park!

If the Spaniard was injured he wouldn't be playing after the challenge. The karate kick was too weak to hurt him so no red card given.

The offences that warrant a red card are defined in FIFA’s Laws of the Game:

1, Being guilty of ‘serious foul play’ (for instance, a very dangerous tackle).
2, Violence.
3, Spitting at an opponent or other person.
4, Denying the other side an opportunity to score by handling the ball.
5, Denying the other side an opportunity to score by fouling a player.
6, Offensive or abusive language or gestures.

(How does Rooney stay on the pitch?)

0-0 at full time please, the £35 I'll win will go towards my new BB.

After that, couldn't care less!

So I imagine that a foot to the chest would fall somewhere between 6. saying nasty words and 1. "serious foul play", wouldn't it?
