The Los Angeles Times heavily criticized the play of the Dutch team in the soccer world cup final. “Sunday’s World Cup final was supposed to be a display of the subtlety and grace of ‘beautiful football.’ Instead, the Dutch destroyed it, displaying all the subtlety and grace of a street fight by earning nine yellow cards and a red card, a record for a World Cup final”.

It's true-it was not a beautiful match, so it was painful, but i think it's a gross oversimplification to say the Spaniards found beauty and we were streetfighters. I do think at some point Oranje lost it because of some unfairness from the referee--not that it justifies it, but it certainly explains it a bit. :-(
