SPAIN WINS THE WORLD CUP!
Spain rules the football world, winning the World Cup at long, long last.
It came after an exhausting 1-0 victory in extra time over the Netherlands on Sunday. Two years after winning the European title, the stylish Spaniards did even better.
This was a physical test of attrition that sometimes turned dirty - a finals-record 14 yellow cards were handed out and the Dutch finished with 10 men. In the end, it was Andres Iniesta breaking free in the penalty area, taking a pass from Cesc Fabregas and putting a right-footed shot from 8 yards just past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg with about seven minutes still to play, including injury time.
GO SPAIN!

The Dutch got another yellow card after the goal was scored by protesting it was offside - and the previous nsprigs-up boot into the chest was a red card if ever there was one! Unbelievable display of bad sportsmanship from the Orangemen - expected much better of them. Well deserved If hard fought win to Spain. Viva Espagna!
ReplyDeleteYes, Spain deserved the victory. Some dangerous tackles from the Dutch players. I feared that it was going to penalties so it was a relief when Spain scored! Great result.

Well done Spain!
ReplyDeleteCertainly well deserved, and this from a Netherlands supporter..
ReplyDeleteA great shame that the Netherlands chose to play they way they did - a big let down - but it takes nothing away from the fact that Spain were by far the better team on the night...
