They had a couple of very good chances and blew it. Can't blame the referee for that. He was very leniant letting Robben stay on after kicking the ball away. I have been unimpressed with some of the antics from the Dutch during this tournament too much diving and acting. They are a good team and should just get on with it.

I think the best team won Well done Spain.

Was hoping for penalties at the end though

didn't watch the match but saw the tackles the dutch made at half time when the match was being discussed, reminded me of the cynical Argentinians of years gone by. Should of been at least one off in the first half. Football should have a citing official like rugby, and report all incidents that are missed or underpunished by the ref. one of the neighbours is Dutch, will she get some stick when I see her.

The referee was a disgrace, totally ruined the game by allowing the Dutch to basically do what they wanted. If he had anything at all about him he should have sent off two Dutch players in the 1st half but I'm sure he'll have had his warnings from FIFA before the match kicked off to "let the game flow, remember we are being watched by the whole world"
What a joke 13 bookings and 1 sent off.
As for Robben I'd have sent that prick off just for being himself. He's even worse than Ronaldo for diving about and looking for free kicks first and playing football second.
