As the Netherlands yellow-carded their way into second place, the call emanating from the world is that of ‘Viva La Espana!’ Madrid rejoices with Spain’s first ever World Cup victory; weary citizens were kept awake all last night by the fireworks and general exultation. As the match went into extra time with the score standing nil-nil, spectators and audiences at home held their breaths. Midfielder, Andres Iniestas scored with four minutes to go, at the 116^th minute, and we could all finally breathe! Spain had become World Champions! With this they became the first team since West Germany, in 1974, to hold both European and World championships. The final count showed a total of 14 yellow cards; aggressive behaviour was apparently the name of the game yesterday, with perhaps the most excessive move being Netherlands’ Nigel De Jong’s ‘kung-fu kick’ in the chest to Xabi Alonso. Fernando Torres lay on the ground with a pulled hamstring for quite a few minutes toward the end of the match, but was able to join in the celebrations afterward.
