2 teams that have never won a World Cup title will face off in the final on Sunday in World Cup betting as the Netherlands challenges Spain in a game that can be viewed on ABC television. The Netherlands has been in the final twice in their history, losing in 1974 and in 1978 while this will be the first-ever appearance for Spain in the final. Spain is a -200 favorite at the offshore sportsbook with the total at 2.

Spain managed to get past Germany 1-0 in the semifinals to reach the final while the Netherlands outscored Uruguay 3-2 in the other semifinal. Spain is headed by David Villa while Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder lead the Netherlands. Sneijder and Villa are evened up for the World Cup goal scoring lead as each player has landed five goals. The Netherlands have outscored their competitors 12-5, so they’re the higher scoring squad in the World Cup betting. Spain has played more of a defensive competition as they have outscored competitors in the World Cup by a 7-2 margin.

Spain in fact lost their first game in this year’s World Cup 1-0 to Switzerland. They’ve allowed only 1 goal since that loss. David Villa has landed five of their seven goals and is evened up with Sneijder for the Golden Boot. Spain completely dominated Germany in the semifinals. The squad is packed with talent and it showed. The midfield of Spain is simply amazing with Xavi, Iniesta and Xabi Alonso. The defense is very good and goaltender Iker Casillas is 1 of the best goalkeepers on earth. And they’ve got Villa upfront when Spain needs a goal. There aren’t a lot of weaknesses on this Spanish squad and they’re a worthy favorite.

The Netherlands has been extraordinary in the World Cup odds and they have the talent to match up with Spain except in goals. The Netherlands has Robben and Sneidjer and they have a fantastic duo in Nigel de Jong and Mark van Bommel in the middle. Dirk Kuyt and Robin van Persie aren’t to be forgotten. The issue for the Netherlands is that goalie Maarten Stekelenburg is not in the class of Casillas. If the game boils down to which goaltender makes a crucial save, then Spain probably will have the edge. On the other hand, the Netherlands is the only squad in this year’s World Cup not to lose a single competition.

This year will be a special 1 since neither of these countries has ever won the World Cup before. Either the Netherlands or Spain will become the eighth country to join the pretty short list of countries that have won the World Cup. If Spain captures it, they will become the first squad in history to win the World Cup after losing their first competition. The Netherlands would be the first squad to win every game in the World Cup on the way to the title since Brazil in 1970, if they win it. The champ of this match will be making history for their country one way or another.
