What a relief! Holland were really ugly tonight, and I feared they might "do an Italy" and somehow sneak an undeserved win. However the best team (in the world) won and I'm hoping Spain's success will influence how other countries approach football from now on: with more style, intelligence and teamwork, and less physicality, showing off and cheating.

![]() England players are starting to do it more these days. I blame all those "continentals" (as the ex-player pundits call anyone from overseas) for introducing diving into the Premier League. In England our bad side was dirty tackling till not long ago. Many from other parts of the world still think the English game as played in the leagues is too rough. I don't want to sound like I'm carping about Spain's win. Spain were the best team in my opinion. |

However the fact is Spain do play positively - always trying to attack (albeit less directly than in the UK). It was unusual for them to score so few goals (they scored many more in the qualifiers and in Euro 2008) - maybe the fact that Torres was so out of form had something to do with it. |

I've watched quite a lot of Spanish football on Sky TV in the UK. I can see why Sky like to show it. German football? Dutch football ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Stephen; 13th July 2010 at 08:22 PM. |

I saw that on TV last night, and I must say he was taken by surprise by Reina, Puyol and Piqué. Cesc looked very, very embarrassed and took it off as soon as they let him do it.

Reina is the joker of the Spain squad I read. I wonder if he can still joke around with his English speaking ability at Liverpool.

Yes I remember when Spain won Euro 2008 the whole team were presented in Plaza Colón in Madrid, and Reina practically ran the whole event for some considerable time, joking with the crowd, telling stories, introducing various acts, etc. The Spanish footballers tend to communicate with the public and media much more freely than in England. On the night before the final Tele 5 had Casillas live on air for quite some time, just chatting away. In England all the TV interviews are more staged and the players tend to be hidden from the media (unsurprisingly).
