Oh, it was a frustrating night with a goalless draw in the 90 minutes and even in the extra time the players were trying to score but to no avail. Finally, in the 116th minute, Iniesta became the hero and scored the only goal for Spain and the only goal in the Finals!!
Spain are the new world champions and this is the first time that they won a world cup and also the first time that a country who won the European cup also took back the World Cup trophy!
Congratulations Spain!! Couldn't be more thrilled =))
Netherlands, on the other hand, were collecting yellow cards like nobody's business. Heitinga was even red- carded. If I'm not mistaken, the whole Netherlands team were yellow carded except for the goalkeeper LOL I was too bored until I was counting how many yellow cards were given out =p
It wasn't a very good game. It was frustrating to see that both teams couldn't score. Both are good- how else could they enter into the finals? But the top scorers Sneijder and David Villa couldn't score a single goal. In fact, Villa was substituted later on...
But, one goal is still a goal. Waited till 5am to see a goal LOL The next day had to go to work with blurry eyes =p I saw till the prize giving ceremony and I could see the very dissapointed face on the Netherlands players when Spain lifted the cup =(
Well, better luck next time guys! Till the next world cup*winks*
