Spain are the world champions!

The FIFA world cup 2010 finally concluded yesterday with a scintillating final between the Netherlands and Spain! What a way to end a month of frenzy and mania!

I was adamant to watch the complete match and I kept my promise though at one point of time I was feeling dead sleepy!!!

The match was all about getting yellow cards and missed shots to the goal until Andres Iniesta scored the final's only goal, three minutes before the end of extra time after a match watched by an estimated 700 million people worldwide. Just as it seemed a third World Cup final was destined to be settled by a penalty shoot-out, the Barcelona midfielder found himself in space in the Dutch box and hammered an unstoppable shot past goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

And the Spanish fans over the stadium went berserk with noise!

South Africa proved themselves to be a majestic host for such a big event. They have proved that they have the capability and guts to host any major event. They did with IPL, they did it with FIFA. What’s next? May be Olympics!

Congratulations Spain and not to forget, well played Holland!

God Bless!

Cheers!
