Spain is on top of the world

Spain won the World Cup for the first time in its history as an extra-time goal from midfielder Andres Iniesta gave his country a 1-0 victory over Holland in the final at Soccer City.Spain took control and missed chances with the game looking to be heading for penalties. But Barcelona midfielder Iniesta broke Dutch hearts and the tens of thousands watching in Amsterdam’s packed public squares.“Today is a reward for beautiful footbal”, so said Spain coach Del Bosque, after the final game. In Madrid, over 200,000 fans gathered to watch the match on a big screen in the city centre. While Spain were triumphant in their first final, the Dutch have now lost three, following defeats in 1974 and 1978. Now Spain join Brazil (five times winners), Italy (four), Germany (three), Uruguay (two), Argentina (two), England and France as world champions.
