Come Sunday night, two of the greatest teams never to have won the World Cup will be battling it out to win that famous trophy. Yes that’s right folks – the 2010 FIFA World Cup is finally coming to an end tomorrow, with the final taking place between Netherlands and Spain.
As reported over at sport.stv.tv, Spain, who unfortunately kicked off their World Cup campaign rather poorly with a loss to Switzerland, have peaked just at the right time. They managed to overcome their semi-final opponents Germany 1-0, to secure their place in the final.
Netherlands on the other hand have played brilliantly right from the off, winning all six of their games in South Africa. If they end up winning the 2010 World Cup final on Sunday, they will become the third nation to win a major tournament having won every match from the start.
Many fans will point to a vulnerable looking Holland defense in Sunday’s final, as a reason for Spain to emerge as the back-to-back European and World champions. However, Bert van Marwijk’s team has now gone 25 games unbeaten, suggesting they have what it takes to win.
