Spain Win World Cup!

Approximately 10 minutes ago Spain won the 2010 World Cup. The game got off to a slow start, and the first half was fairly dire. The second half, on the other hand, was much more heated. Even Nelson Mandela (who was there to witness the final as a crowd member) probably thought he was going to get fouled. Obviously the circumstances the players found themselves in were so stressful tackles were getting sloppy and cards were being issues thick and fast.

I think Spain deserved the win. Their opponents Holland seemed to have resorted to bullying Spain off of the ball with questionable tackles in the extra time stages. Spain won with dignity. Congratulations!
