Spain reached the last four in 1950, so they have gone past the quarter final stage! I think it is an irrelevant point anyway as there have been a couple of world cups without Quarter finals (1950 and 1982).... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.45.118 ( talk) 20:53, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Err no,
Solar eclipse of July 11, 2010 - a total solar eclipse will occur on July 11, 2010, exactly at the time of the match (Begin of total phase: 18:15:15 UTC = 20:15 local time; End of total phase: 20:51:42 UTC = 22:51 local time). Should this ultra-rare interesting case be mentioned in the article? Eternal Triangle ( talk) 00:02, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
This is the first World Cup final ever to not include any of the four traditional 'giants' of Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Could this be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.61.205.84 ( talk) 21:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Add 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup? 99.155.152.70 ( talk) 03:59, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
I was watching CBC and they showed actor Morgan Freeman walking into the stadium with his agent to watch the final. Someone should update the attendee list 70.75.177.150 ( talk) 17:34, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Is it worth mentioning that it was the 6th final to go to extra time? (34, 66, 78, 94 and 06 being the others) (see FIFA World Cup#Results) 188.221.79.22 ( talk) 21:57, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Robben had another chance at goal with a break-away late in regulation time but may have been pulled away from the ball by Carles Puyol. No call was given.
Robben was pulled away. Period. Merely because the referee didn't give the call, it should say "may have been"? The free kick Sneijder took "may have been" a corner, but no call was given. That's nonsense as well, right? 81.68.255.36 ( talk) 09:36, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
No, Puyol had his shirt but no evidence to say he pulled it or impeded him, whereas the corner was clear-cut. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcclh ( talk • contribs) 14:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
No, evidence was clear: Robben protesting. 81.68.255.36 ( talk) 17:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
This next sentence is not accurate to the incidents of the match and should be removed. It's showing the point of view of the dutchs players. These article must end with the goal of Andres Iniesta, not with the complaint of a dutch fan.
"Just before the goal was scored, the Dutch team had a free kick that hit the wall and got a touch from Casillas before going out. Despite the deflection, a goal kick was given to Spain, starting the play that led to the goal, although the Dutch actually had possession of the ball near the Spanish penalty area in between the incidents. Joris Mathijsen was yellow-carded for his protests after the goal, and other Dutch players criticised Webb for this decision after the match.[14]" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.98.66.252 ( talk) 21:36, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I think that the first sentence of this section,
"It is the first time since the 1978 final, when Argentina beat the Netherlands, that neither of the finalists has previously won the World Cup."
is rather confusing. Does anyone else agree? "It is the first time that neither of the finalists has previously won the Word Cup" doesn't make sense to me. Any thoughts on how to change it?

I just saw a report on BBC television stating that some observers have criticized the behavior of the Netherlands' players during the game, namely, for diving, screaming for penalties, complaining demonstrably when they didn't get them, arguing with the ref, and throwing tantrums. My own personal observation, having watched the game, is that the Netherlands' players weren't acting any worse than at least half of the other teams in the tournament. Their playacting, if that is what it was, was nowhere near that displayed by Italy or Portugal. I just did a Google search and couldn't find any other media outlet discussing the same thing. Cla68 ( talk) 05:10, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
So far we don't seem to have any free-use images of this game. We have got them for many other matches in the World Cup but not this one (the one being the only one with a dedicated page). I'll keep an eye out and see if any come up on Commons. If anyone else sees any on any sites like Flickr then if you could record the link on this page and when I get time I'll see about transfering them. Mtaylor848 ( talk) 20:06, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Brodcasting data is not clear, as the majority of spaniards viewed the match on giant screans, or in bars (Spain is the country in the world with more bars/pop.) Your 15.6 M are only home viewers, no real stadistics are available yet, but I live in Spain & dont know anybody (its true) that didnt see the match, real numbers are sugested in 43M viewed part or all the match. -- Elloza ( talk) 20:04, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
I've put down USA ratings and Canadian ratings to the bottom, but I'm eager to just delete them. What use is it if we put every country's single rating in here? I could see why we put in the ratings of both finalists, but any other number I think should be global or continental. —Preceding
unsigned comment added by

For the first time in the history, 6 different teams without repeating any of them qualified to 3 consecutive WC finals (Germany x Brasil, France x Italy, the Netherlands x Spain). Definitely a "first" in the department of WC finals, what´s more, perfectly fitting in the section "Finalists" of the article because only Spain and the Netherlands as a couple of finalists completed that record by qualifying themselves. Should this "first" be included? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.70.221.133 ( talk) 00:51, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't something be mentioned about the offside controversy that surrounds/surrounded the goal? Here's a reference and here's another one. I mean, it wasn't offside but the dutch whined for days if not weeks that it was. So shouldn't a line or two be added in the reactions stating that there were claims of off-side but it was not the case? 123.243.177.52 ( talk) 12:32, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
This is not the first time since england '66, but the third! The first team was brazil against sweden in the 1958 World Cup, the second team was england against germany in 1966 World Cup and finally the third is Spain against Netherlands in 2010 World Cup! Greetings from Italy! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.146.101.90 ( talk) 17:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Change the position of Iniesta with Pedro in image formation. Iniesta plays on the left, on the other side. Someone change it please — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.235.233.40 ( talk) 10:07, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
