SPAIN vs. NETHERLANDS
The FIFA World Cup Final match was between Spain and the Dutch. Spain, having only lost one match to Switzerland in the Group Stage dominated play most of the game. There were no goals but many close calls during the first 90 minutes of the game, and in total, 14 yellow cards were handed out, 6 of them in the first 20 minutes. I couldn't blame the players for fouling more often, because it is in fact the final, winner takes all. So, there wasn't too much action in the first 90 minutes, but when the game went to extra time, Spain scored a brilliant goal by Andres Iniesta in the 116th minute, Extra Time 2. The Dutch goalie, Stekelenberg, got a hand on the ball, but it wasn't enough to stop the championship goal. And so, Spain takes it 1-0 over Netherland, and for the first time ever, Spain has won the World Cup.
It's interesting, because Spain always won by a margin of 1 goal (except against Honduras, which they won 2-0), and they surprisingly haven't scored many this tournament. Germany, on the other hand, scored the most goals of all the teams, and yet they lost to Spain 1-0. I can infer that apparently although Germany's forwards are strong, Spain's defense neutralizes it.
I congratulate Spain on their victory, and I hope it goes all well for them.
