in the end, it's no surprise. this title came expected but it still was deserved. your defense just was the best of the tournament.

but if you had played against us in the semi finals like you did against the netherlands, you wouldn't have reached the final but that's another story.

the referee was a total disaster yesterday, he should have sent off van bommel and de jong in the first half (that kick to the chest was purpose and attempted assault), but he could have given a penalty for the netherlands after puyol's tackling against robben when casillas grabbed the ball on his second break away.
