Unfortunately, both ended in defeat. Lost to Germany and Argentina. The Netherlands had to settle for being runner up twice in a row.
Although always decorated with great talents, Spain is not a special teams performer in the World Cup. New in this 2010 World Cup Spain made it to the top of the party. The inclusion of Spanish as a finalist this year has included a part of history that they had never done before.
The success of the Spanish set foot on the final is very feasible welcomed by the Spanish. Because, from the first time since the World Cup come 1934, this is the best achievement La Furia Roja. Best Achievement Spain before it was to be the fourth ranked team in the World Cup in 1950.

“They’re turning things around against Brazil in the second half, not the beautiful game of football, but with calm and not give Brazil a chance. It describes how the Dutch played in this tournament,” said Seedorf.
Midfielder who plays for AC Milan is still assessing the Netherlands did not play spectacular manner, but with discipline. They never give easy for the opponent goal. This could be the Dutch players because they have a high concentration and mental strength.
Seedorf also revealed the secret of success of The Flying Dutchmen. “Four striker, Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben, Dirk Kuyt and Wesley Sneijder is the most important players. The fact that they can penetrate the final is something extraordinary,” he explained.
Whatever preparations will be made the Netherlands and Spain, of course South Africa will witness the birth of a new world champion is really new. Gegap gempitanya first World Cup held in Africa this will definitely be covered with deep hysteria for a championship team.
