@rubenarg's rating of Netherlands vs Spain

@rubenarg rated the Netherlands vs Spain game 10.0 out of 10 in FIFA on July 12, 2010. Final score: Netherlands 0 – Spain 1. Final. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“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.”
