Fixed. There's no orange in the Dutch flag. The colour comes from their royal family :p
I was just using google images & couldn't decide between the two from the things i saw so made a choice. I'm now full of regret and birthday cake.
ps.: Incidentally, the Dutch anthem has something about killing the Spanish and that's sure going to make the anthem singing nonsense before the game all the more amusing tomorrow :D

Why don't you move there? I reckon Washington must be one of the best places to be in the US of A but I don't see how that wouldn't beat living anywhere ending with -dam.

As much as I want to see Netherlands win, I really don't see it happening, but I hope I'm wrong.

I see Netherlands winning. Top pick from the start. :D
I have admit Spain is exciting to watch. The way they manage the ball, is quite beautiful. Maybe not as beautiful as Brazil's great moments or Italy's, but you have to give them credit for their effort on the ball. Also ill have to go against the talk about Torres, I think they should start him next to Villa. For the same reason why Michael Jordan succeded alongside Pippen. Villa needs supressive fire, and is at his best when the defense is trying to cover another threat, and I think no matter poorly Torres has played, he can still make things happen. If not through himself, through opening up Villa to score.
Netherlands, needs to avoid falling into the defensive trap Germany fill into against Spain's control of the ball. They have to find a way to open up the game, instead of a game that is heavily technical. The Dutch need to bring a bit of disorder and chaos to the flow of the game. Once they have Spain playing more loosely and less technically, they'll find opportunities to easily defend, surprise, and strike.
