SPAIN WIN WORLD CUP 2010!
Spain have won the World Cup 2010 in South Africa by beating Holland 1-0 in extra time! Player of the tournament Iniesta scored the winning goal. What a player, what a goal, what a winner.

England, with all their Premiership stars, were humiliated by a good German football team. They won 4-1. The Germans played modern football where as England went back to the dark ages in football.
