I didn't love France but the backlash is ridiculous.
Were the Dutch team of 2010 that good? They chose to play the final in a way they felt gave them the best chance of success, as did France. What I'd say is that I don't think that Dutch side could have won if playing more attacking football whereas the French side could have and chose to play pragmatically despite this.

No one way to play football and no one can deny France deserved to win the tournament.
