I say yes, a 2-1 win for the Dutch (perhaps after extra time), with Spain’s David Villa and the Netherlands’ Wesley Sneijder both scoring and sharing the Golden Boot

Pregame starts at 10:30 a.m. on ABC with kickoff about an hour later.

An estimated 700 million – a record for any sporting event – will watch around the world

Enjoy the game.

Updated 10:20 a.m. lineups:

Torres is again on the bench for Spain, with Pedro favored.
