It's Spain-Holland for 2010 World Cup Title

It's an all European World Cup Final as Spain will meet Holland on Sunday in South Africa.  It will mark the first time a team from Europe has won a World Cup outside of Europe and it will also be the first World Cup title for either nation.  Holland has lost the final twice while Spain will be making their first ever final appearance.

Holland rode two second half goals to a 3-2 victory over Uruguay on Tuesday.  The Dutch have been scoring plenty of goals of late as Wesley Sneijder, Dirk Kuyt and Arjen Robben have been hitting on all cylinders.  They'll have their hands full with a Spain defense that has only allowed two goals the entire tournament.

Spain has bossed the possession every single match they have played.  They are just wearing opponents down until the other team breaks.  You don't have to play much defense if you have the ball most of the game and that has been how the tournament has been going.  David Villa is leading the team with 5 goals in the World Cup.

The two sides have played nine times over their history with each side winning four and tying one.  Spain will try to become the first team ever to lose their opening game at a World Cup and then go on to win the title.  Holland is on a 25 match unbeaten streak.
