World Cup 2010, the final, Sunday July 11th, 2010

The Dutch didn't come out to play. The Spanish can play all night and usually score. It took them some time to do so but they did score once in this World Cup final and they had to keep the ball until extra time to do so. It was enough. The Dutch finished with 10 men.
 As a resident in Spain I was delighted with the result.

Three really good descriptions below from English newspapers.
