The 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Final promises to be quite an occasion, with the Netherlands pitting their wits against reigning European champions Spain. Both sides have produced some good football during their campaigns and have been rewarded with the chance to add their nation's names to the select list of former winners: Uruguay, Italy, Germany, Brazil, England, Argentina and France.

As a glance at the head-to-head record between the two nations shows, tipping a winner is no easy task. Both sides have won four of their nine meetings, with the other game ending in a draw. The Oranje have been here before, reaching the Finals at Germany 1974, with Johan Cruyff, and Argentina 1978, without him, and losing to the hosts on both occasions. For Spain, however, this is new territory, although their confidence at rising to the occasion will be high after ending a 44-year trophy drought at UEFA EURO 2008.
The Netherlands' record at South Africa 2010 could hardly be more impressive: six wins in six games with 12 goals scored and five conceded. For their part Vicente del Bosque's men have strung together five wins in a row after kicking off with a surprise defeat. But while the Spaniards have found goals hard to come by, scoring just seven in total, they have been far more miserly in defence, letting in just two so far. The winners will also end an old hoodoo, with no European side having ever won the biggest prize in world football outside the old continent.

Their goals have been vital to their sides' respective runs to the Final. Can one of them end the tournament with a winner's medal and two coveted individual awards? All will soon be revealed.
The stat 统计
8 - Sunday's game will be the eighth all-European Final. In 19 FIFA World Cup tournaments, Europe has been represented in 16 Finals, a record that includes an unbroken run of 14 going back to Switzerland 1954. Only two showpiece games have been all-South American, with the remaining nine pitching together sides from the competition's two dominant continents.
8-星期日比赛将是第八个欧洲人之间的决赛。在19届杯赛中,欧洲人一共出现16次。只有2次,是南美人之间的比赛,9次是欧洲和南美这2个占主导地位的大洲在对抗。
What they said 球星如此说 “I don’t see David Villa as Spain’s most dangerous player. The ones you really have to watch are Xavi [Hernandez] and [Andres] Iniesta. They’re the players who set the tempo and make sure the ball gets to Villa. We have to stop them from playing and getting free. We need to mark them very tightly because if we give them the slightest space we’ll have problems,” Arjen Robben, Netherlands forward.
荷兰前锋阿根罗本的发言
“I don’t think they’ll sit back and defend. They’ve got some quick players who are in terrific form right now. They’ll do what we do and stick to their style. I know Robben. He’s quick powerful and strong, and his shooting from outside the area is a concern for me. What we need to do is cut him off, although there’s more to the Netherlands than just Robben. They are powerful in defence and midfield, and [Wesley] Sneijder and [Dirk] Kuyt are just as dangerous,” Iker Casillas, Spain goalkeeper and captain.
西班牙守门员和队长卡西利亚斯的发言
Voice of the fans 球迷的心声 “The key battle will be between the Dutch defence and the Spanish midfield. La Furia Roja’s strength lies in their impeccable passing game, one that frustrates opponents. If [Mark] van Bommel and [Nigel] de Jong can interrupt Spain’s flow, the Netherlands will have a good chance of lifting the Trophy for the first time in their history,” FIFA.com userlitowadowice (Singapore).
Have your say 由你来回答 Will it be the Dutch or the Spanish who add their name to the prestigious list of FIFA World Cup winners?

法布雷加斯勇冠三军
新浪体育讯 赛后的博斯克应该感到庆幸,在这场教练智慧的终极比拼中,换人环节他彻底赢了范马尔维克,纳瓦斯延续了右路打击力量,而法布雷加斯则贡献出决定性的助攻。本届世界杯,在英超呼风唤雨的小法相当低调,4次替补出场,合计时间不过127分钟,但决赛的这33分钟,无疑是小法这4场球里最惊艳的一回,他完全盘活了本队越打越僵硬的中前场,也让一场 差点成为历史最闷之局的决赛,在最后时刻拥有了相当多的亮点。
小法这33分钟,射门两次,威胁传球1次并成为助攻,就凭这三下,今天赛后也可以给他打到7.5分。这里不是说他换下的阿隆索发挥有什么不好,能忍着胸口的疼痛坚持那么长时间,皇马中场表现的相当男子汉。小法出场后和阿隆索最大的不同在于,阿隆索是以中圈为基准的满场飞奔型后腰,而小法则相对专注靠左地带的攻防,当然所有熟悉小法风格的人都明白,一旦转入进攻环节,小法的犀利度,就不是送球转移大师阿隆索可以比的。
小法出场第一次让全场惊叹的霹雳行动,就是第95分钟的单刀,伊涅斯塔的身后球给得及时,但小法有相当预见性的提前跑才是根本,在高速的情况下接应来球再冲,当时环境下,海廷加再想转身追,除非自己是神仙。但斯特克伦伯格的长腿阻挡了小法的这次进攻。而第103分钟,法布雷加斯中路个人突破,利用队友的掩护,以及自身在带球过程中的高速行进能力,一眨眼功夫就连趟四名荷兰后卫的拦截,可惜最后一脚球打偏。
我们把整场比赛往回放,西班牙队能连续在进攻战中给荷兰队以如此威胁巨大的打击,小法出场前竟然一次都没有,全部都是利用定位球机会,在前场快切快传中寻找来的机会,这表明荷兰人的防守,已经做得足够之好。而小法的出场,立刻打破了这个规律。这里不谈他的有效退防,在进攻上小法在肋部跑动相当积极,有着很强的战术意图,而在前场推进时,比一般的前锋还要坚决的直线挺进。这样的一个选手,如果上来就首发,荷兰队打着打着也习惯了,但突然替补上,看得出,荷兰队就没做好如何应付的准备,更何况体力旺盛男对一帮疲惫男,这种优势不言而喻。
说到那记助攻,小法在本届世界杯最精彩的一脚球,从左路往中路的扯动,只是战术上的灵活需要。在范德法特踢出皮球之后,小法的作用立刻体现出来,中路的存在,保证皮球通过他这一区域时,自己能接应得上。而这次小法选择传球给右侧伊涅斯塔完成绝杀,什么叫运动员的开阔视野,什么叫优良的大局观,这一脚球,说明太多问题。
由于出场时间太少,小法的世界杯总表现为3次射门2次打正,5次威胁传球1次助攻,还有4次传中,2次断抢,说到数据如何如何闪耀,那绝对过分。博斯克还是坚定不移使用哈维和小白的中场组合,这也是西班牙队能顺利过关的重要原因,小法今天上来只是对后腰的一种补充,同时加强边路上的进攻,不影响巴萨双核的存在感。但仅仅这127分钟表演,让球迷相信,给小法打主力,西班牙同样是夺冠第一热门。
但小法才是23岁零2个月的小年轻,现在当不了国家队主力也无甚关系,伊涅斯塔26岁零2个月,哈维29岁半,年龄上的绝对优势,让小法在国家队的未来前景,显然要比巴萨双核要光明很多。另外一点,小法可以打的位置相对宽泛,在阿森纳他就是从后腰打到前腰,虽然不是边路选手,在两肋的攻击水准也有目共睹,而现在风头很足的小白,边路感觉比中路要好了很多。哈维中场全能性更强一点,但一来岁数他偏大,二来这届世界杯,你要计较哈维实效的话,他其实并不让人满意,给球的致命性不强,7场球只有一次助攻,好在和伊涅斯塔默契度很高,最后一脚球不行,也可以扮演在中间过渡组织的角色,让西班牙的中场运行得比较流畅。
所以“缓称王”三个字用在小法身上非常合适,等待竞争对手的老去是最好的方式,至少现在哈维的衰退,是明摆着的事,小法取代他,随时随地。小法的比赛能力,保证了他有足够的出场时间就绝对能出彩,他已经把阿森纳打造成一人之队伍。如果有球迷非要说阿森纳不是这样的队伍,但他们也得承认,没小法和有小法,阿森纳是两种截然不同的实力体现。那么在不用很久的将来,可以乐观预见,小法是有着足够的实力和出场时间,让西班牙国家队来围绕着他进行战术演绎。他将是西班牙国家队,在进入21世纪第二个十年后的中场霸王。

Iniesta puts Spain on top of the world
Champions of Europe and now champions of the world, Spain captured football's Holy Grail for the first time with a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands thanks to Andres Iniesta's 116th-minute strike at Soccer City.
The solitary goal came with penalties looming as substitute Cesc Fabregas played in Iniesta and the little midfielder drove emphatically across Maarten Stekelenburg and into the far corner. With this victory – their fourth successive single-goal win in South Africa – Spain became the eighth name on the FIFA World Cup™ Trophy and also the first European team to have triumphed on a different continent. For the Netherlands, who lost defender John Heitinga to a red card in extra time, there is only the heartache of another tale of what might have been after they completed a hat-trick of Final losses.
This was a match preceded by much talk of two like-minded footballing cultures, of the influence of Dutchmen like Johan Cruyff and Rinus Michels, of 'tiki taka' and Total Football. In many ways, as the first 116 minutes showed, it was also a case of the irresistible force versus the immovable object. The Dutch had won 14 straight games to get to the Final, in qualifying and the tournament proper, and Spain 15 out of 16, their only slip the defeat by Switzerland in their first game here in South Africa.
It was the Spanish found their stride first, living up to their pre-game billing as favourites. Vicente del Bosque's side dominated possession and created the early chances. With the Dutch penned inside their half, goalkeeper Stekelenburg had to make a save after five minutes, diving low to stop a Sergio Ramos header from Xavi's free-kick from the right. Gerard Pique looked poised to follow up only to be denied by a combination of Joris Mathijsen and Dirk Kuyt.
Ramos came again in the tenth minute, beating Kuyt on the right and driving in a low centre that Heitinga deflected behind. From the corner came another scare for the Netherlands. Xavi played the ball back to Xabi Alonso whose cross went beyond the far post to David Villa but the in-form No7 sliced his volley into the side-netting. After those near things, however, both defences got on top with none of the flair players on either side able to take a grip on proceedings. Instead the yellow-card count began to rise with Nigel de Jong becoming the fifth player in Howard Webb's notebook by the time the half-hour mark arrived.
With the orange sections of the 84,490 Soccer City crowd finding their voice, Bert van Marwijk's men almost gave them something to sing about from a corner in the 37th minute. Robben rolled the ball to Mark van Bommel on the edge of the box and although he failed to make a clean connection he unwittingly diverted the ball on to the unmarked Mathijsen but the defender missed his kick. As half-time approached, Iker Casillas had barely had a save to make but entering stoppage time, he had to be alert to deny Robben at his near post as a spell of Dutch pressure ended with the winger spearing in a low shot from the corner of the box.
Puyol, Spain's semi-final matchwinner, showed his aerial threat once more minutes after the restart when he rose above Heitinga and headed to the far post but Joan Capdevila failed to make contact. The game was gradually opening up and the Dutch spurned a golden opportunity in the 62nd minute when Wesley Sneijder sent Robben running clear. Casillas came to Spain's rescue, deflecting the shot behind with his right foot when falling the wrong way.
Spain coach Del Bosque had already sent on Jesus Navas for Pedro on the hour and the winger helped pick a hole in the Dutch defence in the 70th minute. Xavi sent him flying down the right into the box and when Heitinga failed to deal with Navas's low cross, the ball fell to Villa who looked odds-on to score only to see his effort deflected behind. Ramos was equally profligate after 78 minutes when he headed over a Xavi centre when unmarked, after Villa had forced another corner.
Spain were looking the more likely winners and it took Sneijder of all people to foil Iniesta with a smart tackle after his jinking run into the box. Yet Robben's pace was a persistent threat and the Oranje No11 almost embarrassed Puyol in the 82nd minute, speeding clear of the Spain defender when second-favourite to reach a through-ball. Resisting Pique's attempt to tackle too, he was foiled only by Casillas, the captain saving at Robben's feet as the Dutchman tried to round him.
Extra time began with opportunities for Spain. Xavi failed to connect when well positioned and when the ball ran to Villa, his shot went wide off an orange shirt. Substitute Fabregas then broke clear on to Iniesta's through-ball but was foiled by Stekelenburg. Mathijsen headed wide from a corner but like waves, Spanish attacks kept rolling on to the Netherlands back line and Navas was close with a shot deflected into the side-netting.
Fernando Torres replaced Villa midway through the extra period and Spain gained a man advantage four minutes later with Heitinga's dismissal for pulling back Iniesta on the edge of the box, the offence earning him a second yellow. Iniesta would not be denied, however, and his fine late strike put Spain into the history books and left a Dutch dream shattered.作者: diego1990 时间: 2010-7-12 10:24
Xavi hails Spanish dream come true(AFP) Monday 12 July 2010

Spain midfielder Xavi described his country's FIFA World Cup™ victory as a dream come true following their 1-0 defeat of the Netherlands at Soccer City.
Xavi's club and country team-mate Andres Iniesta scored the only goal of the game four minutes before the end of extra time after a drab encounter as Spain added the world title to the European crown they won in Vienna two years ago. And having also won everything on offer in club football, Xavi now has a full set of international medals.
But being part of the first ever Spanish team to win the FIFA World Cup has topped the lot for the diminutive Barcelona man. "Now we have the trophy it's difficult to put into words, it's such an amazing feeling to have the trophy in my arms," he said. "It's a dream come true, especially to win both tournaments, it's the reward for all the hard work we have put in so far."
Now we have the trophy it's difficult to put into words, it's such an amazing feeling to have the trophy in my arms.
Spain midfielder Xavi
Match-winner Iniesta, who was also named man-of-the-match, was almost lost for words. "I can't quite believe it yet. I had the chance to score such an important goal for my team, it's simply incredible," he said.
"It's a small contribution in a match that was very tough, very rough, with all sorts of things happening on the pitch and I think we deserve it. We have to feel very proud of each of the members of this squad, from the first to the last."
Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas came on in the second half of normal time to give Spain extra impetus and it was his pass which created Iniesta's goal. "It's a great moment for me and for everyone Spanish, the players, the people. We are all very proud of this," he said.
"We never thought we could make it and this is something special. When I came on, I was fired up. It is has been a difficult tournament for me and I didn't get to play so much.
"Something inside me was telling me this was my chance. All my family wanted to come and be part of this, I had my chance and I am just very proud to be part of this. It has been a hard season, but now it doesn't matter at all. This is one of the best moments of my life. Today we are living the dream."
But there was also a tinge of sadness for Fabregas as he had to console club team-mate and Dutch forward Robin van Persie. "The first thing I had to do after the final whistle was go to Robin. Instead of celebrating with my friends, I wanted to talk to Robin, because I felt he deserved this as well.
"He has been injured a lot and if it wasn't us he was playing against, it would have been different. But as happy as I was, I was also sad for him. He deserved it as well. He just told me congratulations and to enjoy the moment.
"I hope he has his chance again, because he is a great guy and a great leader. He has been really unlucky with injuries and I hope he can have his moment in four years or two years."
However, Fabregas believes Van Persie may have to wait longer given the next generation of talent coming off the Spanish production line. "We have great players who are coming through and Spanish football is just growing," he added. "This is the best thing which can happen to a football player. You can't win something bigger."
As for where he will be playing next season, Barcelona target Fabregas was ambiguous. "All I can say is that this is for all the Arsenal players and fans, they are a world-class club. I am an Arsenal player and I am proud to be."
It was sensational, an historic moment for Spanish football. We haven't yet realised what we've done.
Spain captain and goalkeeper Iker Casillas
Before Iniesta's winning contribution, goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas had made two vital interventions to deny Arjen Robben in normal time in one-on-one situations. "It was sensational, an historic moment for Spanish football. We haven't yet realised what we've done," said the Real Madrid stopper.
"We will after some time. It's what we've wanted since we were little. It's a special moment, much more moving than winning the European championship. It wasn't easy but with luck we managed to win."作者: diego1990 时间: 2010-7-12 10:26
