Argentina 3-1 Holland Rob Rensenbrink hit the post in the waning seconds of the game, bringing the Dutch to their knees. No country has ever come so close to winning a World Cup but failed to do so. Regardless, Cesar Luis Menotti might become the coolest World Cup winning manager of all time. Andres Iniesta scored a thrilling goal late in extra time to earn Spain World Cup gold for the first time, although it was the Netherlands' third final defeat. With no preceding match between Holland and Spain to discuss, we may as well recall previous World Cup finals. Not least since Holland was in two of them, in 1974 and 1978, and Spain, kind of, in 1950. Uruguay 4, Argentina 0 in 1930.
