Campeones, Campeones, Ole Ole Ole! Spain are World Cup Champions!
At last Spain became World Champions. And they truly deserve it, cause they were the best team in past 2 years with
all the rest just trying to match them. The same as Barcelona on the club level. Spain have on of the most talented squad of all time in football history, with such great players as Xavi and Iniesta. I have some comments about this match, just as I saw it.
The tension was so great that it was felt even a 1000 km in front of the TV. Although I didn’t expect any other scenario of the game. The tactics of Oranje became clear from the first minute – play tight, crush technically Spain players catch Spaniards on the counterattacks. Dutch played really roughly, on the verge of red card, if status wasn’t not final, then we would have seen the red card in the first half (De Jong karate strike in the chest of Alonso). The second half was held in the same nervous struggle, but there was plenty of opportunities to score goals, but both teams lacked finishing touch. In extra time began sparkly, but then I think both teams frightened themselves by their own attacks, the game had already been in the state of who will score first goal, will be a winner. On controversial points in extra time – there was penalty on Xavi, despite the fact that this extra time of the Final of the World Cup, second yellow card for Heitinga was right decision, Robben should have been shown a second yellow also, for a goal after the whistle blown, but … all disputes and controversy was forgotten after “illusionist” Iniesta, a specialist in holywood ending goals in extra time (just remember his goal in the return match with Chelsea on 92nd minute). Overall, the match was pure joy to watch, as it was a clash of 2 equally strong teams, who both deserved to be there and to win it. In the end, Spain was more lucky one and they managed to score a crucial goal just before penalty shoot-out. By the way, penalty shoot-out was the only thing I wished not to happen in the Final and thanks God we’ve had a winner that was determined by great football move… Bravo Espana! I’ll miss big football festival greatly!
