SPAIN ARE WORLD CHAMPS~! The end of the world cup perhaps marks the end of me blogging actively. I was free throughout the 31 days but now I have to get ready for India.
Spain undoubtedly deserved the title with their style of play. The final itself was a boring match. Both teams playing it safe and everyone seemed nervous. Who wouldn't be? All of them perhaps playing the most important game they will ever play in their life. A place in the history books was at stake.
The final could have gone either way in my opinion. Robben was the most dangerous Dutch player and was a constant threat whenever he got the ball. Capdevilla did a good job in trying to stop him. On the other hand, Holland had a more physical approach to the game and Van Bommel and Nigel de Jong were lucky to stay on the pitch after 90mins.
In the end, Iniesta broke the deadlock about 4 minutes the end of extra time to end Spain's long wait for the world title ; thus erasing their tag as the perennial underachievers of world football.
The man of the match of the final with the most beautiful trophy in the world :)
