Spain, Spain, Spain Champions !!!!!!

Holland were Thugs and it would have been a tragedy & shame for the game had they won. They should only have had 8 on the field at the end.

Well, my favourites Argentina could not get by the Lucky Germans – Yes, Lucky I say. If you are honest, you will admit that the Germans benefitted enormously from that dissallowed goal against England and the off side goal (#2) against Argentina. England were not as poor as the final score reflects. And, Argentina dominated the Germans for most of the game.

But, all that recent history is done and the final is now done and we have NEW and worthy winners.

What I was most encouraged by, is the way Spain prevailed over a bunch of thugs. Holland were a disgrace. Cruyff could not have been more honest when he said that Holland played ‘anti football’.

Spain really have had some very good teams in the past, but this current team exhibits a far superior maturity than those teams of the past. In days gone by, a Spanish team would have, and did, react far too emotionally and got lost in petty retributions and implosive actions resulting in inconsistent performances.

For Spain to rise above the modern Dutch thuggery & butchery on this occasion, was a sign of World Class. The Dutch, who where once correctly ‘praised & lauded’ for their pride & committment to skilled football, the Dutch team have now stooped so very low, and brought shame to the game. The one exception of course, was Arjen Robben. The referee should have sent off two Dutch players in the first half.

What happened to the beautiful culture of skilled football. This was the perfect stage to show what Holland itself claims to represent.

Will the beautiful football of Spain translate into a new culture of skill in the game in general, or will this evolution in Spanish football be exclusive to that country.

Should the networks be promoting La Liga and shouldnt we really be watching La Liga for entertainment & inspiration, or will the premiership continue to be Europes biggest league. Whatever happens, it is clear that Spain and Spanish players  believe that the audience deserves better, and the way they play today, even when being kicked off the field by thugs, is lovely to watch. They are World Class Entertainers. Thank You Spain & Congratulations.
