World Cup

I am looking forward to the Germany-Uruguay third place final tomorrow - two attack-minded teams who should (provided they still have the motivation) produce an open and exciting match. On the other hand, although I shall watch it, I haven't got the same interest in the final between Holland and Spain. Very skillful sides both, no doubt about it, but on the evidence so far their tactics are to smother the other side and grind out narrow victories, so it has every chance of being a rather boring affair. Hope I'm wrong, but yet again all the entertaining teams have over the course of the competition had to give best to the pragmatic ones - so much for the "beautiful game".
