But you can join Live Soccer TV as we preview the Netherlands vs Spain match from different angles before following the match live on the Netherlands vs Spain match page!
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
- Spain and the Netherlands have never met at the World Cup or European Championship before.
- In over 90 years of competition, they have met just nine times: they have won four encounters apiece, and drawn once.
- This will be the first World Cup final that does not involve one of Brazil, Argentina, Italy or (West) Germany.
- Their most recent meeting was a 1-0 friendly win for the Dutch in Rotterdam in 2002.
Netherlands
- The Netherlands are playing in their third World Cup final. They lost the 1974 and 1978 finals, to hosts West Germany and Argentina respectively.
- The Dutch are bidding to become only the second team to qualify for the World Cup with a 100% record and win every match at the tournament itself (matching Brazil in 1970).
- The Netherlands have won six World Cup matches at a single tournament for the first time. This beats their previous best of five in 1974, when they lost in the final.
- Van Marwijk's side are on a 25-match unbeaten streak, a record for the Dutch. Their last defeat was in September 2008 (a 2-1 loss to Australia in Eindhoven).
- They have scored 12 goals in South Africa - only Germany have scored more (13).
- Wesley Sneijder has scored 7 goals in his last 8 internationals. He was credited with Holland's first goal against Brazil, despite Felipe Melo appearing to get the last touch.
Spain
- Spain have lost only two of their last 54 games (to USA and Switzerland). Defeat to the Swiss was a bad omen - no side has ever won the World Cup after losing their opening game.
- Italy (1994), Argentina (1990) and West Germany (1982) all reached the final despite beginning their campaign with a loss. Argentina (1978) were the last team to win the tournament despite losing a game in the group stage.
- This is the fourth time the reigning European champions have reached a World Cup final. The only side to have lifted Fifa's trophy, West Germany, beat the Dutch in the 1974 final.
- The Germans failed to double up against Italy in 1982, while the Azzurri lost to Brazil in 1970 two years after winning Euro '68. France also held both titles concurrently, though they were crowned world champions first (in 1998).
- The Spanish are through to their first ever World Cup final. They did reach the final four in 1950 under a different format, when the remaining teams played out a group stage. The Spanish finished bottom, behind winners Uruguay plus Brazil and Sweden.
- David Villa is one goal away from equalling Raul's record of 44 goals for Spain. He has already equalled the Spanish record for most goals at a single World Cup (five), set by Emilio Butragueno in 1986.
- Spain have completed 3,387 passes at the World Cup, more than any other side. The Netherlands have managed 2,434. Prior to the third-place play-off, Spain had the tournament's top four passers: Xavi (464 completed passes), Busquets (420), Alonso (399) and Pique (378).

MATCH PREVIEW
In 1811, Paraguay achieved independence from their Spanish rulers. 199 years on and the plucky Paraguayans will again have to overthrow Spain, who are very much a footballing world superpower. Gerardo Martino's South American side are entering new territory by reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup, but have their work cut out against a Spanish team that are ominously moving through the gears. However, they haven't earned a reputation as the World Cup's biggest chokers for nothing - 1950 is the only time they have made the semi-finals.
Much was made of Paraguay's striking options before the World Cup, but not one of their forwards have managed to find the net so far. They were deprived of their main goal threat, Salvador Cabanas, after he was shot in the head in January. His agent revealed he has been watching the action from his hospital bed near Buenos Aries and his regular contact with the squad has been a source of inspiration to their players in South Africa.
It's not just Paraguay's frontmen that have struggled for goals. Spain's Fernando Torres has seemingly been affected by the curse that has afflicted Premier League strikers at this World Cup. A host of big-name forwards who ply their trade in England, have failed to fire in South Africa and Torres has looked completely out of sorts. Fortunately, Spain can fall back on the form of David Villa, who has proven to be a one-man scoring machine and looks a great bet to win the Golden Boot.
But while Villa has been grabbing the headlines, plaudits have started to pour in for a backline that has conceded just 11 goals in 19 competitive matches under Vicente del Bosque. Their solidity, added to a disciplinary record that has seen only Xabi Alonso booked so far, has helped Spain recover from the shock defeat by Switzerland in their opening game.
