Difference between Robben and Iniesta+Xavi is that Robben goes down, but doesn't pretend to be in agony for 2 minutes.
Iniesta is fine though, he played a good match. Xavi on the other hand really was a complete fucking dick. Diving excessively when tripping over his own clumsy feet, whining at the ref, and being unsportsman-like (van Bommel bodychecked him, he went down, van Bommel reaches out and he goes "fuck off"). We got a card for whining at the ref, why didn't that prick get one?
Two words: Van Bommel.

ref was good, infact holland were lucky he went easy on them as they deserved several red cards
anyway holland got raped, they had almost no presence in the game aside from the odd few chances when spain fucked up, too bad this was a final... it felt more like a group match
So needed a couple of hours to cool down, this match was horrible but exciting, a lot at stake of course. In the first half the Dutch made some horrible fouls, one or two maybe deserving a red card instead of a yellow card. And because of this under penalising the referee decided to oversee certain Spanish fouls in the second half like this one:

Keep in mind Puyol already got a yellow card.
This referee also gave yellow cards for absolutely nothing and blew his whistle way too often and made many wrong decisions. Something else that irritated me highly, he at least at four times was obstructing the game by standing in the wrong area.
Spain deserved to win, they were better.
Welcome to one of the Worse refs in the Premier League, he had had a good world cup though, but he had a shocking domestic season.

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!
The match never got underway with all the whistling and him blocking the ball or a possible path for the ball. 47 fouls, 13 yellows; that's an average of one foul every 2.5 minutes :/
15' Robin van Persie booked for a heavy challenge on Joan Capdevila. Good decision
16' Carles Puyol booked for a tackle from behind on Arjen Robben. Good decision
22' Mark van Bommel booked for a bad tackle from behind on Andres Iniesta. Borderline red, should at least have been a final warning. Should then have gone for persistent fouling, and kicking the ball into a prone Xavi.
23' Sergio Ramos booked for a tit-for-tat trip on Dirk Kuyt. Good decision.
28' Nigel De Jong booked for planting his studs into Xabi Alonso's chest. Bad decision. A clear red card for an appalling challenge.
42' Wesley Sneijder not booked for planting his studs in Sergio Busquets's thigh.
54' Giovanni van Bronckhorst booked for a block on Sergio Ramos. Tame by this game's standards, but probably correct.
56' Johnny Heitinga booked for a strong challenge on David Villa. Good decision.
67' Joan Capdevila booked for a cynical foul on the marauding Robin van Persie. Good decision.
84' Arjen Robben booked for mouthing off to the referee. We don't know what Robben said, but he protested furiously.
92' Spain penalty appeal for an alleged foul by Joris Mathijsen on Xavi. Replays showed Xavi kicked Mathijsen and Webb got it right.
109' Johnny Heitinga second yellow card for pulling back Iniesta. Good decision, even though Iniesta made the most of it.
112' Gregory van der Wiel booked for a trip on Iniesta. Borderline, fairly tame.
114' Arjen Robben not shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away after being correctly flagged offside.
115' Spanish goal-kick after Arjen Robben's free-kick takes a big deflection off the wall, and Iker Casillas also gets a touch. Terrible decision, how did referee and linesman both miss that?
116' Furious Dutch claims of a foul on Eljero Elia in the build-up to Iniesta's goal. Good decision by Webb, the substitute went down much too easily.
116' Half-hearted appeals for offside against both Cesc Fabregas and Iniesta for the goal. Both good decisions.
117' Andres Iniesta booked for removing his shirt after scoring. Good decision - the rules are the rules. But sad that Iniesta's tribute to Espanyol captain Dani Jarque, who died last year, earned the same punishment as De Jong's assault.
117' Joris Mathijsen booked for protesting Iniesta's goal by slamming the ball into the ground. Good decision
120' Xavi booked for kicking the ball away. Good decision.
Webb and his assistants did get most of the big decisions right, but that does not mean the referee had a good night. He failed to take firm control of the game, something at which he usually excels. His determination to keep 22 players on the pitch was clear early on, and both sides – particularly the Dutch - exploited that.
