Portal Eurofootball.com together with the betting company Unibet presents you with a blog dedicated to the World Cup by football commentator and former Lithuanian national team defender Žydrūnas Grudzinskas.
And that's it. The much-awaited World Cup lasted only a month as if in the blink of an eye. A moment that we will impatiently await again in Brazil. Today is the grand final. The final of the World Football Championship - the pinnacle of the most popular sport. All teams dream about it, but only the chosen few participate, those who are worthy.
Spain and the Netherlands - these are the teams that have proven with their play that they deserve to play in the most watched matches in the world. It's exciting that in the last rounds, two teams that promote attacking, open football meet, which simple football fans are attracted to like a magnet to stadiums or glued to the TV screen for a long time.
Today we will have a new World Champion. Brazil (5 times), Italy (4), Germany (3), Argentina (2), Uruguay (2), England (1), and France (1) will be joined by another European country - Spain or the Netherlands. Has a crisis really struck the teams of the Old Continent? You decide. The first, second, and third places were taken by European representatives. And not playing on their own continent, which historically happened for the first time.
So, who will climb to the highest podium today? Will it be the Netherlands, which has not stumbled in this championship and, in general, seems to have forgotten the taste of defeat, or will it be Spain, which is playing stronger and better football with each game, demolishing the defenses of all teams? The Spaniards just need to score one goal to achieve victory (3 last wins 1:0). The Dutch score a lot but also concede quite a bit (12:5), so in the final match, victory will go to the team that plays more cold-bloodedly and confidently in defense, as the attacking capabilities of the teams are at a similar level. I would slightly give the advantage to Spain. Netherlands - Spain (2, k - 2.05).
