Johannesburg: More than anyone else, Jaap Stam knows what he's talking about. During his lengthy career, he faced Spanish opponents on several occasions.

However, he never locked horns with the Furia Roja at a big tournament. "I can only say that I hope that the final will work out fine for Netherlands", said Stam to Goal.com. "I must admit that Spain have impressed me though."

Spain have plenty of strengths, revealed Stam. "They are very solid at the back and the midfielders never stop running.

Additionally, the attackers are constantly switching positions. But Netherlands have absolutely no reason to be afraid of Spain. We have a good chance to win the tie."
