Spain Wins the 2010 World Cup!

Spain Edges Holland 1-0 in Final to win The 2010 World Cup

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa Its been called “The Beautiful Game” the sport of soccer has, but this World Cup Final was anything but. A record 13 Yellow cards were doled out. Seemingly for the Dutch they were given 8 of them. However that has been part of their game. It was just enough though for Spain to use it against them to capitalize. Lots of tries and misses seemed to plague the contest which may have gotten both teams frustrated with their inability to score for more than 115 minutes. Holland’s John Hietinga picked up his second yellow near his goal to the dismay of Holland followers he was sent off the pitch after the yellow turned Red. Spain was given a man advantage for the remainder 11 minutes or so, and Spain found an opening. It was Andres Iniesta open in the box took a short pass from Fabregas and directed a quick strike off the arms of Holland’s Keeper Stekelenburg in the 116′ into the back of the net for the game’s only goal. The joy of relief for the Spainards and their followers was to continue to the end of extra time as Spain wins the 2010 World Cup.
