Spain 17/1 to win in 90mins and 6/1 to lift the cup.
Might be worth ten yoyos on the latter.

Maybe not.....

New territory for Xavi and the lads.

New low for RTE commentary - 'where David Healy led, Brazil has followed'

G Luiz looks world class the nite, how come hes doesnt play like this for the blues, or is it the fact he got a really good center half beside him?

ONeill · July 01, 2013, 12:47:13 AM

Spain'll hammer them next year.

Spain will still be the team to beat next year. They just seem to be missing a focal point or direct attacking threat up front and without having that option there is the possibiblity of a high intensity pressing game from the opposition being successful as it was last night. I'm sure they have a few young players sitting about somewhere that could come into contention for next summer. The fact that Torres starts for Spain sort of shows how weak they are up front.

Good man Fred

Spain have got at least 4 strikers better than Torres, how he starts is beyond me. Spain are still my favorites for the world cup next year. They were jaded last night, the Brazillians had an extra day to recover from their semi final and they didn't have to play extra time in their semi either. The Spanish movement wasn't half as good as it normally is. Their support play was non-existent. Normally, the man on the ball has 2 or 3 options, many times last night, he didn't have 1.

Not taking anything away from the Brazilians, they were outstanding and took their chances very well but I can't help feeling that with a fresher Spanish team, it would have been a much closer game.
