Brett Favre had finished throwing to the youngsters at Oak Grove High School and poked his head out of the field house to see a few reporters standing near his truck, waiting to ask him about his future plans.

Favre ducked back inside and, moments later, someone else jumped into Favre's truck and drove it around to the front of the building Monday morning. With a grin on his face, the 40-year-old quarterback ran out of the building, hopped in and drove off with nothing more than a playful wave to the waiting reporters.

Arjen Robben joined others on the Dutch side, including coach Bert van Marwijk, in complaining about the poor officiating by Howard Webb in Sunday's World Cup final. Spain defeated the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time.

"When I got my second chance, the referee should have given us a free kick and Puyol a yellow card," Robben said. "He gave the advantage, but there was none as I could hardly move and the goalkeeper was too close already. As a player, you always want to go on and especially ten minutes before time in a World Cup final when you are heading towards the goal. When you play in a World Cup final, you also need a world-class referee."
