Spain v Holland.

Very refreshing to see a World Cup final without any of the "usual suspects" (Brazil, Germany, Italy, Argentina).

This can only be good for the game, and has the potential to be a cracking match on Sunday between two good sides. A great one for the neutrals, for sure.

I'm very much looking forward to it. I'll be very happy for whichever team wins, and sorry for whoever loses.

Bring it on!

4 years ago it was France vs Italy, so 2 world cup finlas without a South American insight, what has happened to the beautiful game?

Europe rules football!

And FIFA hate that, because, although they're the top governing body, UEFA is the most powerful.

Not quite as simple as that, as it only holds here at the top - Europe's second tier has been by enlarge disappointing.

Anyway, perhaps it has to do with time zones? South Africa's falls in that respect into the European bracket, which could amount for a bit of home advantage.

Somehow, I quite fancy Holland.

Its been a poor World Cup, as far as I'm concerned, Champions League is far better.......and theres NO vuvuzelas!

The sodding things will probably be everywhere next season.

Not everywhere...

Rugby have had the sense to ban them from the tri nations and the world cup, and I think the first case of vuvuzela-enema in UK football will quickly see the end of them.
