2010 World Cup Final: Holland v Spain

The final of the 2010 World Cup is finally upon us and Holland and Spain will take to the field on Sunday night, both hoping to win the World Cup for the first time in their history.

Many pundits predicted that the South American nations would rule the roost in South Africa but the European sides have turned around and dominated the latter part of the tournament. A European team has never won the World Cup outside of Europe before so whoever wins the game on Sunday will make a piece of history. Both sides have an illustrious footballing history behind them and both will say they deserve to lift the World Cup.

Holland were the first team to clinch their place in the World Cup final with a 3-2 victory over Uruguay. The semi-final was brought to life by a goal from the Dutch captain Giovanni van Bronckhurst and it is one of the goals of the tournament.

Uruguay managed to get back on level terms before the break with an equally impressive strike from Diego Forlan but the European side were to pull through in the second half. Wesley Sneijder managed another goal at the 2010 World Cup when his strike was missed by Robin van Persie but still managed to sneak into the bottom corner of the net.

Dutch Get A Stroke of Luck

Some say that van Persie was offside and interfering with play but the officials did not agree and the Dutch were in the driving seat. Victory was virtually assured when Arjen Robben headed Holland into a 3-1 lead. A late Uruguay goal made it a tricky last few moments in injury time for the Dutch but they managed to hold and booked their first World Cup final spot since 1978. The Dutch were unsuccessful in 1974 and 1978 and will no doubt be hoping that 2010 is finally the year of the Orange.
