Well.....What to say.....uffffff. Congrats to Netherlands. You had your best players in Ramos, Casillas, Pique and Alba....XDDDD. Robben wasn't bad either .

Spain deserved this match. They weren't ready mentally to this match. At least this defeat can serve to change something like most of the Barça players that are completely useless (Busquets, Alba, Pique, even Xavi). Casillas is a shadow of itself too. Buah.....

But what i don't understand is the hate here against Spain or out style of play. Stay classy people....

When a team dominates for so long everyone hates that team.

Brazil is the team who most times has won a WC and never was so hated like this Spanish team. As a rival, i never hated Brazil, Germany, or France when they won WC 98 and Euro 2000. I admired those teams. They were historical....

I don't know.... When even spanish people here are happy to see Spain losing like this, what can I expect outside?. Spain seems to be an easy target to hate.

But Spain didn't just dominate on the national level. It dominated even at the club level. I don't ever remember a time when a country dominated that much. Also the fact that they play the posession game doesn't help either. People hate that play style just like a lot of people hate the parking the bus play style. As for Spanish people hating Spain that's news to me. That indeed is shocking.
