Van Marwijk: We do not fear Spain

Van Marwijk: We do not fear Spain

Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk admits Spain play a more attractive brand of football than his team - but he insists the Dutch do not fear them. The two European countries will both be bidding for their first FIFA World Cup™ success when they meet in the final on Sunday.

Vicente del Bosque's side are European champions and have been the most impressive international outfit for the past two years. They had struggled to hit top form in South Africa, though, losing their opening game to Switzerland before battling their way through to the semi-final, where their impeccable passing game returned in a 1-0 win over Germany.

"At this moment I think Spain play a little more attractively than we do," said Van Marwijk. "Although we would like to do the same, they have a few more advantages right now. They are playing very well with the ball and without the ball when they are reacting very quickly so it could be a very interesting game between two teams who want to play football
