FIFA World Cup 2010: Who will be the champion- Spain vs. Netherlands
Glitz and Glamour, Scandals and Controversies, Twist and surprises, Drama and emotions it is all in it .Yes we are talking about the FIFA world cup 2010 being held in South Africa. As the clock is ticking the world cup is getting crazier and crazier and crowd is witnessing something they were not expecting.
After the quarter final stage of the cup, all eyes were seeing the great German Giants as the new world cup champs. As the Germans sailed their winning ship of spirits smoothly and successfully from the beginning to the semi finals. On the other hand, the Spanish men were not so consistent and their performance varied from game to game. At once, it seemed like Spanish are a little out of touch but they proved the roars wrong. They kept their hopes high and grinded the Germans in the Semi finals and qualified for the finals for the first time in the history of the tournament. This time, the world cup is just not going according to the world’s expectations but it is getting amazingly surprising, as the two well talented teams of Netherlands and Spain are going to fight in the world cup final for the crown of being the world champions.
Spanish men are well aware of their talented squad and the capabilities of vicious match winners like David Villa, Sergio Ramos, Andres Iniesta and Fernando Torres. But they are not neglecting the fact that the Netherland’s football team has also got tons of talent to conquer .Talking about the comparison of both the teams who are going to face each other in the world cup final. Netherland’s football team is not less in any of the departments from the Spanish men. They have got in to the finals quiet amazingly, beating the Brazilians out of the tournament, made them a much stronger contender for the trophy. As the name like Brazil is enough for a person to consider, who were considered world cup favourite, however just like that, the Dutchmen proved their strong presence in the cup by beating the giants. Netherlands team is a squad of some of the intelligent match winners in the world. Players like Dirk Kuyt, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben are the best in the business and have the capability of turning the game around in no time. If someone compares the chemistry of the players between each other, the Dutch squad will definitely lead the race.
However, Spain has done a tremendous job but still they lack in some departments, like team chemistry. They need to concentrate less on individual performance and work as team. A proof of their unreliable and varied team work was the missed opportunity of scoring a goal against Germany in the semi finals. When Pedro had the chance to pass the ball to Torres while the goal was well open to him, and Pedro’s greed came in his way and resulted in a missed golden opportunity and his team mate kept begging for the pass. A team is a most powerful unit when it fights as one unit. Spanish man should learn a lesson from this incident, or else it might create a barrier in the way to win the cup.
To the world, the climax is coming to an end as the final for the biggest tournament of the world’s most favourite game is just around the corner. Is this the lucky time for the Spain to win the world cup for the first time in history or is it the time for the Dutchmen of getting back to the glorious era of early 80’s .Who is going to be the master this time ?
Only the time will tell because July 11th is not far away now.
