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.

I hate to say this but Maradona was in way over his head. Yes, Argentina looked great against so-so teams. When Argentinos came up against a very good side, they had their heads handed to them.

Germany administered a good old fashioned butt whipping on Argentina 4-0.

If this were a prizefight, this would have been stopped in the eighth round.

Argentina had the name players Tevez, Messi, and Higuain.

Germany took it the Argentines right from the outset.

A huge foul gave Germany a free kick from the edge of the left box.

Bastian Schweinsteiger nailed a perfect free kick into the box.

Argentina “D” fell asleep. This allowed Thomas Muller to poke home the header in the 3^rd minute.

Bing presto the match changed on its head.

Germany seized control.

Argentina attempted to attack but the German’s completely stone cold stopped em.

Messi couldn’t crack the code. Neither could Tevez or Higuain.

Three-second half lightening quick counter attacks by Germany sent Argentina packing.

The Germans played classic tic-tack-doe futebol.

This was more like buda bing buda boom.

The boom was of sonic proportions.

Miroslav Klose hit the daily double.

Klose now has 14 World Cup goals.

He is tied for second with countrymen Gerd Muller at 14.

All time golden boot leader is Ronaldo with 15.

I am very happy Argentina lost big time.

This just proves my point.

Maradona was a great player but as a coach, he sucks big time.

Argentina advanced as far as they could with an idiot as a leader.

Argentinos was ill prepared for Germany.

The Germans stacked the middle.

Instead of swinging the ball to the wings, Argentina tried for force the ball up the middle.

This was a dumb.

You take what the “D” gives you.

A real futebol coach would have made adjustments.

Maradona is not a real futebol coach.

This serves you right Argentina.

If you clowns had won, Maradona and his cohorts would have been ego mantic boors.

Stick a fork in Maradona and Argentina are surely done.

Spain eked out a huge 1-nil win over Paraguay. 

Two huge PK stops by Paraguay keeper Justo Villar and Spanish keeper Iker Casillas.

It took 83 minutes before Spain cracked the Paraguayan code.

David Villa nailed the rebound winner off the right post in the 83^rd minute to Spain to its first World Cup Semifinals.

Spain will take on Germany.

Both of these sides battled each other in the 2008 European Championship.

Paraguay put up a huge fight.

Kudos to Paraguay for their valiant effort against the mighty Spanish but Spain was not to be denied on this day.

Spain is one of the favorites to win the cup.

Will Spain become first World Cup champ that lost it’s opening match?

We will see.

Spain was one of the teams favored to win the World Cup. However, a funny on the way to being crowned champ Spain lost to Switzerland 1-0.

Gelson Fernandez ripped the winner in the 52^nd minute.

Spain keeper Iker Casillas was forced to leave his line. He blocked the initial shot but the ball squirted free. Then a scramble ball ensued. Gelson Fernandez knocked home the gimmie ball.

This was all she wrote baby.

A real good win for the Swiss.

A little side note, no team that has lost its opening World Cup match has won the World Cup title.

We will see.

Spain was missing Fernando Torres and Cesc Fabregas.

This was a real kick in the nuts.

I still think Spain will make it out of the group stage and challenge for the title.

Chile shut out Honduras 1-0.

Jean Beausejour scored on a nifty goal in the 34^th minute.

His mate Sanchez threaded the needle with a perfect pass that spilt the seam in the defense.

Uruguay blasted the home side South Africa 3-0.

The Africans had their lunch handle to them.

In plain and simple English South Africa stunk the joint out.

Diego Forlan hit for the daily double. He struck for pay dirt in the 24^th and 80^th minutes.

Alvaro ripped the twines in the 90^th minute for Uruguay’s other tally.

What a day full of surprises.

Let’s what tomorrow holds.
