Cruyff slams 'anti-football' of beaten Dutch side


(CNN) -- The robust approach of the Netherlands side in the World Cup final has drawn a fierce rebuke from Dutch legend Johan Cruyff, who accused them of "dirty" play and adopting "anti-football" tactics.
Cruyff was the star player of the revered Dutch team of the 1974 World Cup that introduced the concept "total football" to the world.
Wesley Sneijder and Dirk Kuyt were the Oranje's outfield players from their starting 11 not to be booked by referee Howard Webb, while Johnny Heitinga saw red in extra-time for a second bookable offence as Spain won 1-0 at Soccer City on Sunday.
