The World Cup Finals 2010 match today between Spain and netherlands was a brutal match filled with yellow cards (mostly for the Netherlands) and not much scoring. In the first half, five yellow cards were handed out, but one of them according to me (the one handed out to Nigel De Jong for kicking Alonso in the chest) should have been a red card. Anyway at the end of the first half, both teams were scoreless. Much of the entire game consisted of close contact battles, and the players that got kicked, pushed and tripped suffered pains that were worthy of Oscar consideration xD.

Iniesta Scoors 5 minutes before the shootout

It was a very aggressive game for both sides, right until the end, and there was a lot of missed penalty kicks and several very close scoring opportunities made by the stressed players that pushed their bodies to the max. Robben from the netherlands yelled at the arbitrator and got a yellow card for complaining, making a total of six yellow cards for the netherlands against the 3 yellow cards Spain got. After 90 minutes of regulation play, the score remained 0-0, and additional 2 x 15 minutes was added.

Right at the end of the extra time Iniesta from Spain scored finishing the match 1-0, making Spain the new world champions!
Awesome match!

Spain World Champion in the World!

¡VIVA ESPAÑA!
