spain so didnt deserve the cup. seriously. not only because they play boring football, but they also depend on favortism to score their measly 1:0 in every game.
switzerland obviously had the bigger wallet so spain wasnt able to outbribe the ref in that game.

Spain is great at making opportunities, but they come to the goal and say "how do i shot goal" and royally fuck up.
If this goes to 11-meter though, my money's on the Netherlands.
Holland also sucks when it comes to the husstle. Ive noticed they'll stand there and watch the ball roll right past them when its a foot away. Im not turning on the Dutch team, this is a big flaw Ive been noticing. They dont actively go for an easy interception if it means leaving their normal position. Yeah I know they have positions they need to play, but still they let weak passes go when its between positions.

Y'know I expected something like this.
Look at the tournament.
2006:
US loses to Ghana
Argentina loses to Germany
Germany gets 3rd place
A team I wasn't at all fond of (that also knocked out Germany in the semis) won the tournament.
Perhaps a deciding factor, a player from the second place team gets red carded.

All of Football is just a repeating pattern! D8
And yeah, Spain bores the crap outta me, so I thought they fit the "team I wasn't fond of" perfectly.
Still, give Spain credit. They played fair and won, and you gotta feel happy for them: it's their first World Cup win.
Now if Uruguay won it all. THEN it would be the exact same gay shit as when Italy won in '06. That'd be the slimy team that resorted to a cheap tactic to win getting the title. :C
