It's the 2010 World Cup final on Sunday and the last chance to make some money on the action from South Africa. Many of us have profited from backing both teams in this tournament, although it's Spain who should be supported at Soccer City, especially after the way they beat Germany.
The Germans had previously embarrassed England and Argentina to reach the semi-finals, although Joachim Low's team were made to look very ordinary against a well-drilled Spanish team that replaced Fernando Torres with Pedro on the right wing. Xavi controlled the midfield, with Gerard Pique and Carlos Puyol handling any offensive very well.
Spain couldn't ask for a better striker in David Villa and this is a match where Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben might not see much of the ball. It's just so hard to take the ball off this team and there have been elements of fortune about the way that Holland have reached the final, not least against Brazil where they showed nothing during the first half of the game.
PREDICTION: SPAIN TO WIN @ 2.10 with bet365
Power Rating
Squad (4/5)
It may lack the individual sparkle and brilliance of Dutch squads in past World Cups but this is more of a team that most.
Squad (4.5/5)
A wonderfully balanced team, perhaps lacking something in the full-back positions but otherwise as good as any in South Africa.
Coach (3/5)
The one problem with Bert van Marwijk is that, apart from a Uefa Cup eight years ago, his record in terms of silverware is still pretty modest.
Coach (4/5)
There was some doubt that Del Bosque could recapture the magic he wove at Real Madrid. Ten straight victories gave you the answer.
Attack (3.5/5)
Assuming Van Persie is ready, the array of strikers and attacking midfielders available is a wide one, although they may be relying on a forward in Huntelaar who plays rarely for his club.
Attack (5/5)
There is probably no better attack in world football than Torres and Villa supported by Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas and Xabi Alonso.
Defence (3.5/5)
Those who watched this team qualify in Amsterdam and Rotterdam would not have seen the Dutch back four concede a goal. But do they have the class to come through a tough knockout stage?
Defence (4/5)
It is not as feted as the forwards – defences never are - but not to concede a home goal in qualification is an awesome achievement.
