It could be Spain vs the Netherlands in Soccer City on July 11th - something that would lead to a first time champion.

The two teams that will be battling it out in the World Cup final on July 11th just got clearer.

Holland are the favourites with several firms after a fantastic comeback to beat Brazil 2-1 on Friday night. The Dutch rallied after getting to the interval with a 1-0 deficit and a goalkeeping mistake from Julio Cesar allowed them to equalize. Wesley Sneijder doesn’t score many headed goals although Dirk Kuyt’s flick allowed him to nod home and his team are now 9/4 (+225 bet365) to win the World Cup.

It could well be the case that Argentina are the team that face Spain in the 2010 World Cup final on 11th July. La Albiceleste are safely into the quarter finals after their 3-1 win over Mexico, bringing the number of goals they have scored in this tournament to nine. Diego Maradona’s side are no bigger than 4/1 (+400 Paddy Power) to win the final and it’s clear that they have the best strikers in the competition.

The one team that could stop Argentina getting to the final are Spain, who managed to avoid Brazil’s half thanks to their Group H victory over Chile. Vicente Del Bosque’s team know what it takes to win a major final after winning Euro 2008 and they are currently 5/2 (+250 Ladbrokes) to win the World Cup final on 11th July. It’s noticeable that their price on the outright has shortened after Brazil’s exit and there no longer appears to be a team that can nullify La Furia Roja.

However, it’s Germany that have the better track record when it comes to reaching the World Cup final, with the team having won the competition three times and featured in the last two on three other occasions. Will they be making their seventh appearance in a World Cup final on 11th July?
