Spain defeated Netherlands 1-0.

This match was in doubt until Dutch defender; John Heritinga was given the heave-hoe in the 108^th minute.

Spain responded when Andres Iniesta nailed a perfect one-time volley off a great pass.

Spain becomes the first team to win the World after losing their opening match.

To honest with you, this match was very chippy.

Netherlands knew they couldn’t keep up with the Spanish speed so the Dutch decided to play roughhouse.

There were 12 yellow cards given out and one red card.

The Dutch had seven of those bad boys while Spain had five.

Netherlands star Arjen Robben had two clear-cut winners but each time he missed it by that much.

Spanish keeper Iker Casillas came up big both times.

After the match, Casillas was on tears.

Spain’s Cesc Fabregas had two clear winners as well too.

Kudos to Dutch keeper Maarten Stekelenburg played great too.

This was Spain first World Cup final.

The Spanish were ranked number one for most of the past two years.

Brasil entered the World Cup as the number one team because Spain stunk the joint out against USA in the 2009 Confederations Cup.

How many ways can you say ugly?

This was ugly hard-nosed futebol.

It came down to this Spain didn’t lose their composure when the Dutch decided to roughhouse it.

In the end, their patient attacking style paid off.

Spain is the 2010 World Cup Champions.

This is the third time the Dutch were bridesmaids in the World Cup.

This closes the books on the 2010 World Cup.
