Spain would dominate possession no doubt. Whether they'd break a strong French defense down or not is a bit more troubling. Lizarazu, Thuram, Desailly, Petit, Deschamps, Lebouf, all in top form that night - difficult for anyone to get past. But I think they'd win (the Spanish). Don't think France were good at all in that competition, and the final was more a case of the Brazilians throwing their toys out of the pram than the French being exceptional overall (only really in defense). I.e. irrespective of what happened to Ronaldo that night, the Brazilians turned up expecting to steamroller what looked like a very ordinary French side, found every gate shut because of an organised and resolute French defense, then either gave up or were too frustrated to do anything else. The Spanish on the other hand are a different animal in terms of mentality - they're not perturbed by a side pulling a defensive job on them. They'll just keep on playing the way they do, keep on dominating possession, keep on pressing at an insane tempo, entirely confident in their ability to eventually work an opening, and bar the one-off result against Switzerland that served as a mini wake-up call of sorts, they'll usually dispatch a side looking to primarily defend.

This is Sneijder's World Cup performances: Get ball, pass to the right. Get ball, pass to the right. Get ball, pass to the right. Do a s*** little dribble. Get ball, pass to the right. Get ball, pass to the right. Do a s*** little dribble. Score jammy goal, celebrate like a c*** who thinks he's phenomenal. Rinse and repeat.

Orange twats booing Webb.

Slow motion Sneijder crying. Yes. YESSSSSS.

Holland should have had 2 red cards in the first half. Dirty, dirty cheats.

YES. That's Liverpool in mid table come Christmas.

Cassillas

OWNED. Bow to Iniesta, assholes. Bow to him.

He's been kicked practically from kick off to be fair to him.

Ameobi-esque touch by Torres.

This better pay off, otherwise Del Bosque will look like the twat that he is.

It's written, isn't it. This script. Going to be a jammy last minute Sneijder goal no doubt.

Fabregas ffs.

Boooooooo. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

If that special move isn't in FIFA 11, I'm not buying it.

Puyol was like a man freefalling from space there.

Puyol is a lucky, lucky boy.

Just shift it on your left and blast it into the net you dumb motherfucker.

Oh Iniesta you idiot. Idiot.

Oh Sergio Ramos you utter ratty twatface.

Webb telling his son to not be such a naughty boy.

Sevchenko vs Dudek all over again. Orange scousers really do have lady luck on their side.

Would love to see the Dutch Royal Family, mainly those two twats constantly posing for the cameras, on the end of a van Bommel "challenge".

Alonso ffs. He's been gash. Get Cesc on.

Need Spain to score. Force Holland to actually attempt to play, although with Wesley "I'm no Snipes" Sneijder on the field that won't be too easy.
