Yeah, it was only 57%. You idiot, UB.

Actually it was 63%, although I can't figure out why Dutchjazzer implied that you knew nothing about soccer, I assume that he considered it implausible that Spain would possess the ball at a 60% clip. Considering that they did that and then some, I've come to the conclusion that DutchJazzer is not only an Idiot, but a soccer idiot as well. Good call DJ.

thoughts on the game: It seems to me that The Netherlands came in to the match with the same mindset as, say Germany, Paraguay and every other team unfortunate enough to play against la furia roja (save chile). This being: Defend, don't open up, always defend, why? because noone has the ability to match spain's otherworldly midfield. So that, plus the added wrinkle of physicality. Their purpose was obvious from the get-go, Muck the game up as much as possible, foul, foul, flop, foul. They knew they couldn't match Spain's skill and technicality, so they counter with Incessant and merciless fouling, which, it seems, worked in their favor.
Arjen Robben had what might've been the two best oppurtunites of the match. I'm sure, other than his comical inability to touch the ball with his right foot, he'll have alot to think about over the next four years. Ooh. Luckily, though, the better team won.
