    Poor refereeing decisions cost the Dutch. Firstly no corner awarded and then no award for a blatant block by the Spanish. Sorry Holland.

    The corner came off two Spanish players, having said that the Dutch were lucky not to be playing 8 against 11.

    True, the Spanish often went down easily, but some of the Dutch fouls could have seen their players go.

    Ramos, I thought he was meant to be good with his head, in that game he wasn't.

    Did you stand to win much?

    I'm not sure I like this tic tac thingy (whatever they call the Spaish short passing game), too many one nil results.

    Anyone know how clean sheet points are awarded in the playoffs? i.e. are the points awarded after 90 mins in the case of a 0-0 draw or is it after 120 minutes?

    I should have gone for the 4 Dutch and 1 Spanish at the back like I was considering icon9.gif

    A big thank you to the Inspector for arranging this, its been good fun and I achieved my objective of not coming last. And thanks to Spain for having the most good looking players, helped with my points tally.

    Do you get any points for the player getting the golden ball? (not that it will make much difference to me)
    Has anyone seen the league yet it just says it is updating for me.

    Do you think the fact he was 30-1 was telling you something then?

    Just seen congratulations.

    Is there a prize for getting a high number of goals (15) but a staggeringly low number of assists (6)
