Watch World cup 2010 Netherlands vs Spain live streaming online today

English referee Howard Webb will take charge of Sunday's World Cup 2010 final between Spain and the Netherlands, FIFA world cup 200 have announced.


Webb, 38, will form a team with assistants Darren Cann and Michael Mullarkey for the showpiece clash. After missing out on the quarter and semi-finals, the Rotherham-born official will become the first Englishman since Jack Taylor in 1974 to be handed the prestigious post.

The former police officer and his partners had been widely praised for their handling of the Brazil vs Chile second round and Slovakia vs Italy group stage matches. Webb also officiated Inter's Champions League final victory against Bayern Munich in May, despite experiencing criticism in some quarters for a sub-par domestic campaign.Johannesburg:  It's all leading up to that grand finale in soccer city on Sunday evening as La Roja take on Holland. Both teams have played a remarkable World Cup but ultimately it will all boil down to those 90 minutes when anything is possible.

Did you know that way back in the 16th century, Netherlands was actually a Spanish possession? Well, it was in the town of Breda that the Dutch resistance first succeeded and 420 years later its residents are hoping for an encore.



Whether you're a history buff or a die hard football fanatic living on this street voted Amsterdam's most beautifully decorated, it's a shot at redemption if you're Dutch.

It's also a shot at the Golden Boot if you happen to be Wesley Sneijder and a chance to show Real Madrid what they lost out on when they cut him loose last season.

Coach Bert Van Marwijk has said his team is not afraid of the Spanish and that Sunday is perhaps the most significant day in his life - may be not more significant than for this man. Giovanni Van Bronckhorst retires after the World Cup and is looking for the ultimate last hurrah.

"Well yes of course, we have been dreaming about this. I mean as a young boy, I followed all the World Cups and when this World Cup is held up it is a special moment. The trophy is beautiful and I have seen that moment on several occasions - Maradona, Cafu, Dunga - they held up the trophy. I remember that and I think very few players get to do that, very few teams get to hold up the trophy. So for me, it is a dream to possibly hold up that trophy tomorrow. It would be fantastic for me, for the team," said Giovanni van Bronckhorst, captain, Netherlands.

But it would take a brave man to bet against Spain. They're already favourites going into this match because of their superior technical abilities and a crackling mid-field.



And they're all looking and sounding pretty relaxed considering it's their first World Cup final! Coach Vicente del Bosque in fact has a pretty unique approach!

"I'm relaxed and have total confidence in them. We are past the euphoria of qualifying for the final and are aware of what's at stake tomorrow. And even for a coach, this is perhaps one of the easiest matches in terms of the mentality and psychological approach because there is so much excitement around this match, a coach hardly has to do anything to motivate the players," said Vicente del Bosque, Spain coach.

If the Spanish need more motivation, they've got Formula One driver Fernando Alonso and Shakira rooting for them, not to mention Paul the Octopus and some pretty die-hard fans!

Something about the stage is set, the predictions are done, the number crunching and statistics have been processed and the fans have arrived. It's time now for football to do the talking and for one of two teams standing on the brink of history to cross over into the list of world champions.The world is now curiously waiting for the Spain Vs Holland match as the thrill went added on with two sudden celebs, Mani the parrot and Paul the Octopus.

International fame Psychic Octopus paul predicted Spain as the winner (video attached below), meanwhile Singapore and South Asia famous Mani the Parrot precited Netherlands as the topper.



Even if Paul fails he has less fame to lose as he has past history in wrong prediction with Euro football match which did not deter his fame.on FIFA World Cup 2010.

But the poor parakeet Mani is making debut attempt on this newly found venture.

So if Mani wins it will really be interesting although his cage life is not gonna end with that.

The month-long football World Cup tournament which began on June 11 comes to an end this evening at the Soccer City stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa as two European nations – Spain and Netherlands - who have never won the competition before battle for the most glamorous football trophy.


Former South African president, Dr. Nelson Mandela will have the honour of presenting the 18-carat gold trophy to the eventual winner as the Local Organising Comm-ittee (LOC) promised a colourful closing ceremony.

Part of the colour for the ceremony will be provided by Nigerian ace musician, 2face Idibia and Colombian diva, Shakira who will entertain the close to 90,000 spectators expected to witness the falling of the curtain of the first World Cup to be held on the African continent

Although Mandela, who missed the opening ceremony on June 11, due to the death of his grand daughter 24 hours earlier, has not signalled that he would be present at Soccer City today, FIFA President, Sepp Blatter has said should the global icon be present then, he would be the one to present the trophy to whoever wins between Holland and Spain.

Blatter’s statement clearly shows how highly FIFA thinks of the former president because usually, the trophy presentation is done by the President of the host nation (in this case, South Africa’s Jacob Zuma) in conjunction with the FIFA President himself. Officials of the Nelson Mandela Foundation have said a decision on whether Mandela would be at the grand finale  would be made today.

After a month of football action and (63) matches played, the two surviving teams of the 32 that kicked off the quest to land the biggest prize in world football last month square up against each other from 7.30pm (Nigerian time).
Spain start off as slight favourites even though their opponents, Holland have outscored them by 12 to 7 goals in the six games played to reach today’s final. However, the brand of football Spain has so far exhibited is not only exhilarating, but has also seen them only concede two goals to Holland’s five.

Incidentally both teams are yet to win the World Cup even though the Dutch have appeared in the final twice in the 70s (Germany’74 where they lost 2-1 to the hosts and Argentina’78 where they again lost to the host nation 3-1). Spain is, however, appearing in their first ever World Cup final.

Spain, current European champions, have already received a boost before even kicking the ball, with Paul, the clairvoyant octopus, tipping them to beat the Dutch today. Though a sea animal, Paul has attracted global media attention by successfully predicting the winners of matches involving the German national team, including the loss to Spain in the semi-finals!

In another twist, ace photographer and journalist, Sunmi Smart-Cole has enjoined all Africans to root for Spain during today’s match. According to him. ''Every lover of freedom and justice should root and pray for Spain. The World is suffering from collective or selective amnesia. The Dutch are blood relations of the Boers who settled and practiced Apartheid - the worst type of racial discrimination - in South Africa. Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko and thousands of Black Africans were jailed or killed.

As a youngster, I carried placards and joined adults to match against the Sharpville killings. For Holland to win the World Cup, in South Africa, will be the greatest insult to Africans at home and in diaspora,'' he said.

However, before the final match is played, Africa’s first FIFA World Cup is set to close in a blaze of lights and music. According to organisers, the closing ceremony is set to be a colourful, celebratory tribute to the tournament, the fans and their experiences in the host country during what’s been a memorable month.

The 30-minute night-time ceremony will start at 5.30pm Nigerian time and will be broadcast live in 215 countries to an audience in excess of 500-million viewers and will feature 780 cast members and some of South Africa and Africa’s top musicians and dancers.

Columbian pop star, Shakira will feature at her second successive FIFA World Cup closing ceremony, performing the hit song “Waka Waka” with South Africa’s Freshlyground. The catchy song has topped the global music charts in 15 countries and was the most watched video on the internet in June 2010, with over 70 million hits on You Tube to date.

Gates to the Soccer City Stadium will be thrown open six hours before kick off and spectators have been urged to be seated at least two hours before kick off in order to be part of the historic closing ceremony of Africa’s first FIFA World Cup.

Meanwhile, at least 15 world leaders are expected to be physically present at the Soccer City Stadium to watch the final. Among them are the Prime Ministers of the two finalists, Jan Peter Balke-nende of The Netherlands and his Spanish counterpart José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
