While I agree with you on the Dutch being dull, what is really bad for the sport is the way Uruguay acted throughout the whole tournament. Suarez dived WAAAAY more than anyone on any other team.

Two nonexistent offisides in the first where the Uruguayan striker would have been face to face with the goal keeper, Van Bommel once again kicking the crap out of people without a yellow card (his yellow card was for delay of game), and the second Dutch goal, where Van Persie was offsides. Not touching the ball doesn't mean it's ok, as he clearly made a motion to kick the ball and thus participated in the play.
And no one who has watched the past few games can say that anyone on the Uruguayan team dives more than Robben or most of the rest of the Dutch team. Today there was an instance where Boulahrouz was at least two or three paces ahead of a Uruguayan player and he dove to the ground and got up demanding a yellow card.
I am sure you hate Suarez because of the Khune penalty and send off, but not even Ronaldo has done what Robben has.
