World Cup Final

[Mr. Analog]

I don't know about the rest of you but I've been fervently watching the World Cup even though all the teams I was backing have been given the boot.

So? Who's it gonna be?

[CowGirl]

Our camping trip has been delayed to watch the game. This family will be rooting for you guessed it, the Dutch. Go figure.

[Thorin]

I say it's gonna be the Orange Army.

I'm usually wrong, so Spain'll probably win it, now that I've said I want the Dutch to win.

[Mr. Analog]

With this crazy, mixed-up World Cup I'd say it's a coin toss haha

All I can say to the Netherlanders is I hope their goalkeeper is in top form for Sunday!

[Thorin]

I dunno, Spain plays a more defensive game than the Dutch, from what I've seen.  Initial analysis of the ball possession heat maps for each game seem to support that...

That's what I've been reading too but with the complete turnaround in so many teams' plays I would not be surprised if Spain picks up early possession and keeps it for the first half at least. They had 70% possession against the Germans until about 30' and those guys were known for their aggressive midfield...
