JOHANNESBURG – Spain rules the soccer 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 13 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.
And not a word about the referee. Ofcourse I can't blame the referee, but dammit; he missed 2 red cards and gave a not justified red card to the Netherlands + he just refused to see the most important corner of the match. Too bad. He ruined the match.
Anyway, congrats to Spain.
