Van Nistelrooy says "Spain will have the ball but (Arjen) Robben and (Wesley) Sneijder can kill you on the counterattack."
Madrid: Former Netherlands forward Ruud van Nistelrooy agrees with Spain's status as the favorite in the World Cup final against the Dutch, saying the European champions' style of football is "out of reach."
Van Nistelrooy said in an interview with Spanish sports daily Marca published on Friday that "no one moves the ball as well as the Spanish team. That and its past three years make it a big favorite to win."
However, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid player says it would be a mistake to underestimate the Netherlands in Sunday's match at Soccer City in Johannesburg.
Van Nistelrooy says "Spain will have the ball but (Arjen) Robben and (Wesley) Sneijder can kill you on the counterattack."
