@mollieb rated the Netherlands vs Spain game 8.0 out of 10 in FIFA on July 12, 2010. Final score: Netherlands 0 – Spain 1. Final. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“I don’t remember much of this game but I do remember where I was and who I was with. I was 16 years old on a youth group trip to Israel and they had set up a big screen for us to watch with fold out chairs in a room in the hotel we were staying at… and I remember being in the minority rooting for Spain and just the feeling of sticking to my guns despite the peer pressure to want to root with the majority of the group. That’s some strong teen intuition right there! ”

14 yellow cards is insane for soccer match at the biggest stage. Really the downfall of Netherlands was going down to 10 men and losing because of all those fouls. A great and historic game of resilence for Spain and they look to do it again on Sunday.

Maybe not the best match in history for the neutral fan, but as a Spanish fan, it has been stuck on my brain for 16 years now, and counting. Everything seems mystical about this final. The Casillas' save, the (should have been) red card tackle to Xabi Alonso, the Iniesta's goal when everyone thought we would go into penalties... I remember vividly who I was with watching this, where I was and how I celebrated it. It's one of those nights one will never forget, and cherish back when being older (as I am doing right now) Days before our second WC final, this has surely shed some tears through the years. And whatever happens on Sunday, this final will long live in our memories.
