The 2010 World Cup will come to a close on Sunday afternoon at Soccer City Stadium, as Holland and Spain battle it out for the right to be called champions of the world. BetUS Sportsbook has all of the World Cup odds for this match that will be available to you right up until kickoff time in South Africa.

The Dutch reached this point in the tournament by dismissing Uruguay 3-2 in a match that was far more lopsided than the final score indicated. Spain made it to the finale with its third straight 1-0 win in the knockout rounds of this tournament.

Regardless of who wins this match, a first time winner will be crowned. Neither team has ever played in the World Cup finale.

Goodness knows where Holland would be in this tournament if not for the play of F Wesley Sneijder. The hero for the Dutch has scored five goals in this World Cup, tying him for the lead in the Golden Boot chase. He scored his third goal of the knockout rounds of this tournament in the 70th minute in the semifinal against Uruguay, the goal that proved to be the match winner.

F Arjen Robben is a man to watch as well, as he scored for the second time in this tournament just three minutes after Sneijder struck. Robben started off this tournament with a hamstring concern that has since been remedied. La Oranje are clearly at full strength just in time to make a march on the title.

Spain will stand in their way, though. La Roja have a five-goal scorer of their own in this tournament, as F David Villa has lit up the scoreboard a handful of times as well.

Villa was the lone goal scorer in both victories over Portugal and Paraguay in the first two knockout rounds. The hero on Wednesday in Durban though, was D Carles Pujol. Pujol scored from just inside the box with a lethal header off of a corner kick. He is now one of three men to score for Spain in this tournament, with the third being M Andres Iniesta.

World Cup Insider Tip: The Spaniards haven’t given up a goal in the World Cup since the final match of the group stage.

That defense will ultimately make the difference. We aren’t so sure that the Spanish are going to figure out how to score in the first 90 minutes either, but at some point, they will strike and take down the tournament, making themselves heroes back in Madrid and all across the country.
