Spain is seen as the favourites for Sunday’s World Cup Final, but the majority of Bayshore Broadcasting News listeners are picking the underdog.
There have only been seven countries crowned with a World Cup, but on Sunday that number will increase by one as the Dutch and Spain meet in what is an highly anticipated final.
The two countries carry long histories of World Cup frustration into the final at Johannesburg’s Soccer City Stadium.
Most sports writers and gambling outlets have Spain as the favourites.
But the majority of Bayshore Broadcasting Listeners are picking the underdog.
Most listener’s believe it will be a close match with little scoring and the Netherlands coming out on top.
Predictions ranged from 2-1 for the Dutch to 8-0 for Spain.
As to who will get the Golden Ball? Listeners were torn between leading scorers Wesley Sneijder of the Netherlands and David Villa of Spain.
But the majority feel Sneijder has played the more important role for his side.
Two listeners are cheering for the Dutch by default because the Germans were ousted by Spain.
One man said his neighbours are Dutch, so he has no choice but to wear orange and chant Hup Holland Hup.
