Top spot up for grabs
Holland could go top of the FIFA world rankings for the first time in their history if they win the World Cup final on Sunday.
The Dutch, who lie fourth in the standings currently, will take over first place from Brazil if they win their clash with Spain in normal or extra-time.
FIFA also announced that Spain will move up a place from second if they win in 90 minutes or extra-time or even if they lose on a penalty shootout.
