Probable starting eleven:
Netherlands (4-2-3-1):
Stekelenburg - Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Mathijsen, Van Bronckhorst - Van Bommel, De Jong - Robben, Sneijder, Kuyt - Van Persie
Spain (4-2-3-1):
Casillas - Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Capdevila - Busquets, Alonso - Pedro, Xavi, Iniesta - Villa
I will agree with the famous octopus Paul who thinks Spain will win the final. It is true that Netherlands have the best record on this World Cup, winning all six games so far against Denmark, Japan, Cameroon, Slovakia, Brazil and Uruguay. Spain on other side isn't that good, they lost from Switzerland in first game here. And the team that lost their opening game never won the World Cup. But there is first time for everything. And even here, in South Africa there will be first time european country to win outside Europe. And there will be first time Netherlands or Spain to win the World Cup. As You can see there will be a lot of "first time happened". I know is very unpredictable game. Nobody expects good football in Johanesburg, the victory is most important for both coaches. Both Van Mervijk and Del Bosque announced line ups with only one striker - Van Persie in Netherlands and David Villa in Spain. Then what will make the difference? According to me, the atmosphere in both teams. It is not a secret that the atmosphere in Dutch national team isn't good. Van Mervijk and Van Persie have some problems dating from Feyenoord days. I will mention the club was forced to sell Van Persie to Arsenal for half prize just to avoid further missunderstandings between them. On contrary Spanish players are like family. But I also believe the quality is on Spanish side. They have powerfull defense and received only two goals so far. I doubt Netherlands can brake that defense. And Spain will score soon or later, just like against Germany. So, Spain to win is my opinion.
