Final Prediction

Okay.

I think Holland will beat Spain 2-1.

I was convinced that Spain would win the World Cup at the start and leading up to it.  They had the strongest squad, were the best drilled and played the best football.  Their only weakness is left back.

Now, with the tournament at its climax, I'm not so sure anymore.  Holland have resilience, craft and the confidence of winning 6 games in a row, coming from behind in one of them, against super heavyweights Brazil. They also seem more balanced.

I think the match will be one by the Gregory van Der Wiel - Arjen Robben axis on the right overwhelming Andres Iniesta - Joan Capdevilla.  Cesc Fabregas has to start, he will tilt the scales back in Spain's favour but if he does not, it's Holland's game to lose.

I also feel that every team has a certain amount of luck and Spain has used up all of it.

So let's see what happens.  I hope it's a good game.
