What a cup we are witnessing, the sketchy J'abulani has never looked so good in these new-classic matches that Uruguay, Holland, Spain and Germany have provided. Being a fan of futbol first makes these matches very enjoyable to watch. Uruguay's raw talents and fortune got them to the semi's in heroic fashion but, this should come to no surprise to us. Yes, they were the last to qualify from conmebol and had to have a playoff with Cost Rica to qualify for the copa but, this is what gave them the team confidence and the "high pressure" match experience that is needed for this intense global prize. They would never back down and always stuck around, showing their identity throughout the entire match, and when you thought they had no more, they scored knowng that if time really existed they would have put another one in to kill off the game in extra time, and they probably would have to. The last place team in South America is know considered to be top four in the WORLD, wow.. vaya. 

I said after the Argentina match that Germany never saw a lethal team on their best day, and its true, I also new that they had peaked as well, I think the same thing about Holland too. Tactically no one is superior than Spain, Del Bosque the mustache that boasts two Champions League titles with Real Madrid and knows each and everyone of is players inside out. Masia, is the youth academy of F.C. Barcelona, and the reason why the Spanish are playing this immaculate futbol. The majestic elfs Xavi and Iniesta are testament to how much the Spanish fubol has evolved, once considered a national disgrace La Furia Roja is set a blaze with this generation of footballers and I firmly believe that they will dismantle the Dutch. Ajax v. Masia and Iker Casillas, Sunday will become one of those classic matches, two great nations never to win the copa, Spain is in the final for the first time, and the Dutch are the best team never to touch glory, everything is set up to be a fairytale ending, vamos Espana...
