That Germany's Octupus is something! Should have relied on him weeks ago and earned some money! I guess it shows how truly crappy Argentina's and England's defense was. Go Spain! FTW now!

Holland are the Vera Zvonareva of this final I will steal this line by using it while I watch the final with my friends. Probably once I'm slightly drunk.

Everybody I know is rooting for Spain, except for the three people that I know who are somewhat Dutch. Why don't the Dutch get more love?

NED isn't known to casual fans here at all and Spain was the pre-tournament favourite. Our large contingents of Portuguese and Italian fans switched to Spain pretty quickly. Plus, Spain is much more photogenic.

Really entertaining third place match. Both teams went for it. Germany weren't at their best, missed more passes than usual but made it through. Forlan was brilliant again and nearly tied the whole thing.

If they had picked random people on the street before this WC to be the referees, we'd have better officiating. What the hell.

And hopefully they'll fuck off with this Coca Cola commercial now, that "Ooooooooooooooh" is starting to give me tics.

If they'd had better officiating the Netherlands would have had nobody left on the pitch to get fouled.

I watched at a bar with the only Canadian I know who loves football like he's actually European. He also hates the Dutch, and got more than one offended stare down from the old Dutch dudes in the bar. On the bright side, this is Canada, where you can talk smack about the opposing team right in front of the and not get shit kicked for it.
Anyway, I approve of this World Cup.

On to the important things - Spain was pretty hit or miss in the hot department. I mean, there were some solid Yes' there, from who the camera would immediately pan in on a Fuck No. Are they trying to condition me?

I think most hot Spaniards are either tennis players or laymen.
But YAY! Plus I got a free drink from our overworked waitress, and a total hottie I had been ogling high fived me. A good day all around.

A good day all around. Just for this, I guess I'm glad Spain won, since I have no other reasons to go either way. So congrats!

That poor waitress. She said "I didn't think it'd be crazy on a Sunday." She should really pay attention to things.

Spain are plenty hot, I have no idea what you people are talking about. Llorente, Fabregas, Casillas & Pique are conventionally good looking. Torres and Alonso aren't my cup of tea but I can see why other people would find them hot. Iniesta as you saw today has a great body. Villa and Busquets are nice looking if not super amazing. Xavi, Ramos and Pedro are done in by their awful hair but they could clean up well. Capdevila is ok and Puyol is a caveman.
This is from someone who realized halfway through the match how badly he wanted Holland to win and wanted to throw things at the TV when Fabregas made that pass to Iniesta. I'm in hate with Espana atm but I can't deny their hotness.

Everytime they showed one of the hot ones, they would then immediately flip to Puyol. I swear. It was horrible.
Now, Casillas has been a Chloe favorite since 2002, and I thoroughly approve of Pique (if, and only if, he has facial hair. Google showed me horrible things earlier. Upsetting.)I also liked Villa. Mostly, I liked yelling "Villa Derailed!" whenever he fucked up. And there were other ones with names that you problably listed, so I won't bother going to try to find them.

Damn happy for Spain even through I was both quite nervous and bored watching the final. Did Netherlands always played this dirty? It was horrible to watch. Few relevant pictures There're interviews with Rafa as well, where he speaks in Spanish at the speed of 10 words per second. And yes, it's like 90% of Spanish NT are hot. Not everyone is up to my personal taste, but I can still see the appeal for others.
