- Still getting used to waking up on Sunday morning and finding a flurry of emails from Abu Dhabi, where it's the beginning of the work week. #
- Dutch seem firmly in control after Van Bronckhorst's incredible long-range strike makes it 1-0. One for the highlight reel. #WorldCup #
- And Diego Forlan answers with one that's equally picturesque! Uruguay are right back in it! #WorldCup #
- Looking at the replay: Dutch keeper probably should have done better. #WorldCup #
- One each for the captains. Dutch back on their heels at the moment after controlling most of the start. Is it Sneijder time? #WorldCup #
- Surprised that it's even at the break. Quite a second half on the way! #WorldCup #
- Skulduggery in the Dutch end, but Van Bronckhorst saves the day! #WorldCup #
- 62nd minute: Nice ball control from the Dutch around the Uruguay penalty area. #WorldCup #
- Sneijder! Van Persie borderline offside, but it counts. #WorldCup #
- Another Dutch baldy header, this time from Robben. Uruguay have been gallant, but I think they're done. #WorldCup #
- Forlan is taken off. He's definitely one of the stars of the tournament. Atletico Madrid are fortunate he's staying! #WorldCup #
- Nice flick pass from Van Persie, but Robben couldn't get enough on the shot under duress. #WorldCup #
- Not dead yet … Maxi Pereira gets one for Uruguay! Can they pull off a miracle in the remaining minute of injury time? #WorldCup #
- Half a minute … #WorldCUP #
- Way past stated injury time. Only the ref knows for sure … #WorldCup #
- And the whistle blows! The Dutch are in the finals. Sadly, a scuffle at the end, but it was a great game. #WorldCup #
- Despite South American dominance of the early part of the tournament, it's an all-European final. #WorldCup #
- Much as I like the young German team, I'm pulling for Spain tomorrow, so the Cup would be won by a nation that never won before. #WorldCup #
- #Mets 3, Reds 0. 3-hit, complete game shutout for Johan Santana, who likes like he's back after some rough outings. Good thing too! #
- Thank you, Jerry Manual, for trotting to the mound after Jason Bay's error put two men on — and leaving Santana in to finish the job.#Mets #
- And, thank you, Ike Davis for snaring that liner to preserve the shutout and get the second out of the ninth. #Mets #
- Second chance for Puyol to score for Spain on a header, and this time he nails it. Can Germany respond? #WorldCup #
- 3 minutes of extra time … can lightning strike for Germany? I think Spain is too savvy for that … #WorldCup #
- Puyol is playing like a monster! He's everywhere. Definitely the man of the match. #WorldCup #
- Congratulations to Spain! First time in the World Cup final. And it's the final I've been hoping for: Netherlands vs Spain. #WorldCup #
- And congratulations to Germany for a great run. They've got some great young players, who will be fun to keep track of. #WorldCup #
