One of the most interesting thing about this world cup finals is the fact that a First Time Champion will ease out of the company of mere pawns, and step into the envied company of the Royal Priesthood. The greatest show on earth will incidentally have one star and a supporting cast with the precise roles determined at the end of the final chapter. The other 30 playwrights in this show are therefore left out of the climax, having only contributed to the build up - or should I say tear down - of the great show.

Tactically, the Dutch are more dynamic because of their ability to play a myriad of different styles in the same game and by that play to each and every moment. The Dutch is akin to the Transformers with the way they match and mix roles as the situation dictates. Where Spain's strength lies is in their trust for each other on the pitch. This allows them to stick to their roles with the confidence that the different pieces will deliver. Thus Spain is like a Boeing 747, once everything is in check you can be sure it'll deliver the goods. not even volcanic ash can stop them because they have the ability to fly around it once they have prior knowledge. This is the key with the Spanish, their knowledge of the game and their opponents. Above this however is the knowledge of themselves. Spain knows and believe in their team and this will be their best weapon.

Again, this finals will not be a classic but it will not be a dull affair either, simply because of the Passion which surrounds it and the fact that the Spanish plays a beautiful brand of football irrespective of the situation. Beautiful if you are not playing against them that is. Might I dare say: "Spain is barca save for Messi". OMG, I've said it. I cannot make any predictions for the score but the outcome is unanimous.

Annex:
The Spanish people needs this boost because their morale has not been very high due to the economic mayhem in the Euro-zone. The unemployed youths will be encouraged to try a little harder and the general mood will be one of unity. This will be good for the country. Alcohol sales will go up, birth rate will rise, racism will decrease and the Spanish language will spread. The micro economy will thrive at least for a couple of weeks.

It would do a great deal for the Dutch too but they could live without it. In fact they will do better without it because they enjoy a good debate about what went wrong and they can export more Bears to Spain and import more marijuana from Jamaica. God Bless Amsterdam.

DISCLAIMER:
We are not promoting excessive alcohol consumption in Spain nor do we endorse the use of marijuana in small quantities or illegally. We love Holland as well as Spain and this is not an indictment against any one country or people.
