World Cup Final Betting – Holland vs. Spain

A clash of the Titans, but a clash never seen before that features Holland facing Spain for the first time in a World Cup this Sunday at Soccer City at 2:30 PM ET.

This BIG final that will give one of these two countries their first World Cup title. One Dream, one Game, one Champion.

Spain arrives to this game as a favorite, as they have been for the entire tournament, but this time really confident after they eliminated Germany in the semifinals in such a strong way that left the whole world speechless.

Holland, on the other side, got here after suffering a lot to beat Uruguay.

Spain +115

O/U 2

The Spanish game is pretty simple to decode but it’s really hard/nearly impossible to stop.

They control the ball and the tempo of the game because their playmakers are designed to not loan the ball to the opponent.

Most of then –Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Pedro, Pique- play together at Barcelona which makes their chemistry so much easier.

Soccer betting fans, believe me when I say this, it is really TOUGH to steal the ball from them.

In addition, if a team gets back to defend their goal like Germany did, Spain doesn’t get desperate at all because they know that with movements and a good passing game they will find a hole at some point.

The key for Holland in this match will be both Mark Van Bommel and Nigel De Jong, as they are the midfield defenders in charge of stopping the Spanish playmakers.

To be honest, if Holland wants to win, these two will need some help from Wesley Sneijder and Dirk Kuyt to stop the Spanish attack.

I think Holland won’t be as easy an opponent as Germany was for Spain, but there is something in me that feels the Dutch are here for a reason, especially after taking a good look at Sneijer’s goals against Brazil and Uruguay, as both were really lucky.

The safe bet here is Spain, but I’m not up for that. Holland pays more and they have a real shot of beating Spain, especially because a final is so different than the rest of any tournament.

Simmons’ soccer betting pick: Holland +240
