The worst match was offered between Holland and Spain. The Final Game, was an ambush, karate kicks from Holland, an useless referee. A very bad winner attitude by the Spaniards. An horrendous show without goals.
Spain is harvesting what was done from a decade ago. Players like Villa, Iniesta, Xavi and Casillas has been consolidated in the last three years in the main Clubs (Barcelona and Real Madrid). Others showed early courage; Puyol and Torres has always tries to do the job well-done.
After a decade, Spain can harvest a team of championship players. It’s not pure luck, but a hard work between great foreign players and learners that mix up in the Spanish football league. This well-balanced mix joined with key contacts in FIFA hierarchy, and lastly a key moment in the Spanish history (unemployment rate, a great recession, economic-social troubles, a democracy that needs to shape big reforms).
The path of the teams.
Holland, defeated Brasil in a great game, and defeated Uruguay using tactics and very good shots.
Spain, defeated Germany with tactics (and a bit of help from the referee), and has defeated to Paraguay.
The World Cup 2010
In all the matches we saw big mistakes. A crystal clear Goal from England nullified, and the referee’s fatal mistakes that has configured the final match (or it was planned a-priori?).
FIFA must adopt urgently new aid. Such aid can be in the form; of technology, reviewers, corrections a-posteriori, etc. What FIFA are promoting with tournaments like this one, is corruption and bad-play. FIFA modernizes or dies.
How it is possible that a clear goal can be nullified (Lampard) and not taken into account by the referee, nor during the game nor after the game, nor for the player statistics. It’s a perverse scheme promoted by FIFA
The best games (IMHO) Uruguay – Germany and Holland – Uruguay.
In (fast) conclusion
This is the worst FIFA tournament of the decade. It must be joined with the Mexico 86′s Tournament, in which a goal (hand of god) must be nullified.
Brasil 2014 don’t seem very attractive in this situation. And, considering the high possibility of to win the Tournament by the Brasilians. Hence, it must be turned into a Carnival. A lot of beer, permanent party, and many musics.
In the current state of affairs, it’s a reflection of the state of the World.
