The World Cup Final

It will be a sea of Orange as the party gets started. It won't quite be a carnival atmosphere
but they'll be playing those annoying instruments all day long. But enough about bloody Belfast tommorrow, today the greatest final on earth takes place at Soccer City.

Spain v Holland
Neither side has lit up this tournamen so far with Spain winning the last 3 games by the minimum margin and Holland winning without their traditional total football.

Holland are combining a strong team ethic, sharp passing led by Wesley Sneijder and Mark Van Bommel acting as the enforcer. Van Bommel will look to kick Xavi and Ineiesta off the park and smother the Spanish midfield however the Spanish are used to that and were comfortable for long spells against a top German midfield.

At the back, both sides are about equal while up front Spain's David Villa has been the star man while Holland's van Persie has not looked like he's enjoying playing second fiddle to Sneijder. Its the goalkeeping that I believe seperates these sides. Both sides will get a few chances but while Casillas looks ready to make those crucial saves like his stop of Klose, Stekelenburg looks susceptiable to one mistake and that's all Spain need. I expect a tight match with just one moment of magic to decide it.

Verdict: Spain to win 1-0 @ 5/1 Villa to score first and Spain 1-0 @ 18/1


Mulholland's are refunding all losing first/last goalscorer, scorecasts, and correct score bets on this match if there are more than 4 goals in it










This is the promotion that Mulholland's ran at the start of the tournament:
Squeaky bum time tonight and I can't see them getting out of it.
