The Netherlands vs. Spain match was so long, I was hoping someone would get a goal in. And finally, Spain came though! The Dutch team sure got a lot of yellow cards, and then that red one.

Paul the Octopus predicted Spain would win against Germany, and then that Germany would win against Uruguay. He predicted Spain's win for the final, but there was some parakeet that predicted Netherlands would win the game. Seems the octopus had a better guess.
