The star teams of the Netherlands and Spain are facing each other in South Africa 2010 World Cup final Sunday night.

The match, which will produce a brand-new new world champion that has never held the title before, will take place at 9:30 pm local time on the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, after Saturday night when Germany beat Uruguay 3:2 in the match for the third place.

The 2010 World Cup final is historical not just because it will add a new nation to the teams that have won the trophy but will also mark the first time that an European country will win the title outside of Europe.

The Dutch have won all of their six matches in the World Cup so far. Together with Argentina, they were the only other team that got the maximum of 9 points out of their three matches in the preliminary group as they beat Denmark 2:0, Japan 1:0, and won 2:1 against Cameroon.

The Group of 16 match, the Netherlands threw out Slovakia from the World Cup with a 2:1 victory, and presented the big surprise as they beat Brazil 2:1 in the quarter finals. After a similarly tough match, the Dutch also won against Uruguay 3:2 in the semi-final.

The Netherlands are the second most scoring team so far with 12 goals (the Germans have 13) in the World Cup; their opponents have scored 5 times in their goal.

Unlike the Dutch, the Spanish did not get off to the best start as they lost their first match in the World Cup to Switzerland 0:1. After beating Honduras 2:0 and Chile 2:1, however, they ended first in Group H.

In second phase of the tournament they achieved three minimal 1:0 victories against Portugal, Paraguay, and Germany respectively. The Spanish have scored only 7 goals in the World Cup so far but have also had scored to them only 2.
