CHIPS n CHOPS: WC Finals

3rd PLACING

Germany VS Uruguay
My Prediction: Germany Win
Result: Germany Win
Comment: Germany chose to rest some players and give the others to feature in their final game. Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski were not in the lineup, instead Cacau and Thomas Mueller played as forwards. An entertaining game, I can consider it one of the best in the tournament. The game went into climax with Diego Forlan's superb freekick, which unluckily hits the post, which it were to go in then it would be another different story. The game ended Germany 3 - 2 Uruguay.

FINAL!!!!!

Holland VS Spain
So this is it! ORANJE vs LA ROJA! My FIRST team against my SECOND team! At this stage I dont mind who's winning, just hoping for an explosive match that will be remembered and being talked about over and over again thoughout the years to come.

My Prediction: Even though I knew that Spain will win but I just hope that Holland will do something extraordinary, just like what they did when beating Brazil in the quarter finals. I'm gonna go against Paul. Holland win.

Result: Spain win.

Comment: To be honest, I thought that the game was a lil bit peculiar, certainly not a classic, there were times when it was quite dull. Several golden opportunities that both sides failed to convert, forcing them into extra time. And Howard Webb made his own record by brandishing a total of 14 yellow cards.

Robben's effort saved by La Roja's No.1, Iker Casillas

14 cards? We're playing poker?

The only goal came from Andres Iniesta in the 116 mins, assisted by Cesc Fabregas. I have to pick Iniesta as my man of the match, not only because of his crucial goal but also his partnership with Xavi which dominated the midfield. Nevertheless I would also like to congratulate the Dutch team for going all the way to the finals.
