109 - A Xavi - Iniesta 1-2 sends Iniesta in and Heitinga drags him down. Second yellow and Heitinga is off.
110 - Xavi sends a free kick from about 20 yards out over the goal. 111 - Yellow card for Van Der Wiel as Iniesta plays it around him and then takes a bit of a dive. And by a bit, I mean that Iniesta could have Italian ancestry.
112 - Why is Torres in? He just took a first touch that would be considered poor by MLS standards. Awful. 113 - Robben called off, but keeps playing after the whistle and pokes it past Casillas. Spain appeals for a yellow, but Webb doesn't consider it. He just tells Robben to cut the crap and that was definitely the right decision.
115 - Looks like we could have a dangerous free kick here for the Dutch. Sneijder will be lining this one up from about 35 yards or so. Spain put five in the wall. It deflects off Fabregas and goes wide. Somehow, Webb calls for a goal kick. Bad call, among the few by Webb, despite other comments in the thread.
motherfuck the ref man I would fucking kill him if I was on the pitch right now ELIA WAS FOULED!!!!!!!!!!!
116 - INIESTA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Counter attack by Spain and the Dutch had several chances to clear but failed to do so. The ball falls for Iniesta and he sends it home across the goal.
Mathijsen bitches out the touchline official, appealing for offside and gets a yellow. Iniesta was onside by at least a yard as Van Der Vaart had fallen in a defensive effort. Iniesta also gets a yellow for taking his shirt off in the celebration.
Dutch should have had a corner when the ball deflected off of Cesc. Then they should have had an indirect free kick when Ellia was obstructed. Webb stuffed both decisions up. But that's soccer; games are regularly decided by refs.
120+2 - Fernando Torres is played in on goal, but pulls up and grabs his groin. He's down and in pain.
122:50 - Webb blows the match to an end and Spain are the World Cup Champions, 1-0. Dutch have a few calls to complain about and are giving Howard Webb an earful, but any objective viewer will tell you that Spain deserved the win. They dominated possession and had more of the chances.
Chill. Dutch didn't get jobbed. There were tons of yellows, but its hard to argue against any. Spain dominated possession and had most of the chances. Dutch played hard, but were second best today.
