Yes, but you talk about violence... That's way over the top. The kick of Nigel De Jong was hard. But just a case of bad timing. He didn't want to
kick Xabi Alonso in 2 pieces ofcourse 
No intention to knock him down.
There are different ways of play hard, and most of the De Jong and Van Bommel actions were far from hard, and the general attitude of all the dutch team was to play very hard, sometimes crossing the line, and that, for a team that knows how to play, and historically teach the world world how to do it, its violence.
I still admire the elegant players that are Sneijder, Van der Vaar, Robben or Van Persie, I even admired Van Bommel, but I guess that a world cup final made you think that you want to win, no matter how.
Football still owns The Netherlands one world cup, and I hope the next one could be yours, actually, what about win it in four years against Spain? But this time, playing like they know, Deal?
Please stop and watch the game again...
All the dutch team played very hard? Oh come on... Just 2 or 3 fouls were too hard. The rest was normal and the spanish players did act that it were HUGE fouls. But they were touched lightly.
Iniesta did a after-kick on Van Bommel and that deserves also a red card. The referee didn't see it! Sportive? No! And yes, it's the final, they must win, no matter what. Spain with acting, Holland with rough tackles. But no violence, that's a hard word...
