At last finally it arrived. Two of football powerhouse than haven't won the World cup finally meet in it finals. Holland twice runner-up in 1974 and 1978 finally have the chance to become champion for the first time. Spain the perennial underachiever, always the favourites that didn't manage to win finally can erase the tag. Looking at the way both team march to the finals Spain seems to be have the edge over the Dutch team.
The key player for the Holland would be Sneijder, Robben and the industrious Dirk Kuyt. If any of these three players left unguard Spain might regret it when the final whistle blows. For Spain it key player are Villa, Iniesta, Puyol and Casillas. That why Spain have the edge over Holland. Cassillas if on form very difficult to score against, while Puyol hard work seems to rub off his defensive team mates. Iniesta probably need just on chance to provide Villa one killer pass to end the Dutch resistance. As a team Spain passes the ball with much flair and accuracy whilst Holland depends more on Robben and Sneijder creativity to prise open any defensive formation.
Looking forward for the final and may the best team wins without any blunder from refs.
VIVA WORLD CUP..

World Cup argument killed Italian pair
A German man accused of killing two Italian supporters after an argument about World Cup triumphs got out of hand has been captured on the Spanish island of Majorca.
Italians Franco Siccu, 47, and Giuseppe Longhitano, 49, were at a bar in Hannover, Germany, when they entered into a heated debate with a 42-year-old man known only as 'Holger B'.
The pair claimed that their nation had won more World Cups than Germany (they were right as the tally is four to three in favour of the Azzurri), but the German man disagreed.
'Holger B' left the bar to apparently get some money but returned with a 9mm pistol, which he allegedly used to shoot Siccu and Longhitano dead. Siccu died instantly, Longhitano a day later in hospital from his wounds.
"Witnesses said the row was over who had won the World Cup most," a police spokesman said. "Tragically, it escalated out of hand." The incident sparked a manhunt in Germany, as police searched for the killer of the pair, who were living and working in Germany as chefs.
Having fled to Spain, the suspect surrendered to authorities on Tuesday, giving himself up to a court in Palma, where he has now been remanded in custody by a magistrate. "We had early indications that the suspect had fled to Majorca," a police spokesman said.
A spokeswoman for Hannover's state prosecutor explained the suspect is likely to be extradited to Germany in the near future.
