Spain: The architects were the Dutch

 The mood is not  ecstatic in Holland .The same to their supporters around  the world.  However, it  was a contest... "the beautiful game".

Reflecting back :

The Dutch should reflect back a little. The current display by the Spaniards is the ingenuity of the Dutch. Three legends, (1988-96),(1997-2000 and 2002-03) and (2003-08). planted the seed at the Nou Camp(FC Barcelona). Look at the success of the club in recent past.

The old invisible hand  was rewarded.

Parting shot: Maybe, the Dutch should consider returning back to a tampered "The Total football" philosophy.
