I'm so sick of the world cup. Don't hate football but it's been mega boring.

Hope the second half is better...
Sadly not.
Netherlands down to 10 men now.

I wanted The Netherlands to win, but they didn't deserve to the way they played.

Likewise... Grrr!
Oh well, still won 40 quid in the work sweepstake for 2nd place! Not bad going considering the fact that I can't usually win an argument, never mind any sort of prize!

Yes, that is a new World Cup record

But congratulations to Spain. Fully deserved to win.

I swear the 'pundits' in the BBC studio (i.e. Alan Hansen) have had their eyebrows plucked....

Well I wanted Holland to win, but after the way they played I`m glad Spain did.
Arsenal players on both sides, so that was alright anyway.

I started out as being neutral, but within half an hour of the start I wanted Spain to win. The Dutch could only be described as thugs. Pity Howard Webb's refereeing was so weak.
Over all the competition I am sure that Spain were deserving winners.
I must say I enjoyed the third place match rather more than the final ! It was probably the most entertaining game of the whole competition

I`m like you on that one. I originally wanted Holland to win, but changed my mind. I was quite happy when Spain won.

I note in the forum poll, nearly 30% forecast Spain to win !
