Fifa world cup 2010 comes to an end with an excellent match between Spain and Netherlands with Spain finally holding its grip on the trophy.. It was a close match with both teams scoring no goals till the scheduled 90 minutes time.. With extra time of 30 minutes provided, finally Iniesta hitting the goal to bring Spain closer to the trophy after more than 110 minutes..
With ten more minutes to hold the cup in their hand, Spain defended really well, winning their first ever world cup.. It is the first time they were in world cup finals.. Netherlands lost the finals of fifa world cup the third time.. Earlier two occasions were against West Germany in 1974 and Argentina in 1978..
Earlier both teams were trying too hard to hit goals, that made their play more aggressive which resulted in more than 15 bookings in that match.. More than 30 to 40 free kicks were given to either of the teams. Both teams had a lot of attempts at the goal which either they wasted themselves due to pressure or defended by their counterparts. Cassillus took chances twice when he attempts to come forward from goal to get the ball from the Dutch leaving the goal alone but both the times he did succeed in saving the goals.
It was a disappointment to Spanish fans and Dutch fans that neither David Villa nor Sneijder hit a goal to make their tally of the world cup to 6. Hence now 4 men fit into the golden boots, one each from the 4 teams which qualified for semis.. Villa from Spain, Sneijder from Netherlands, Muller from Germany and Forlan from Uruguay..
Earlier before the match starts was the excellent closing ceremony of the fifa 2010 world cup.. Colored by lcd projected high intensity lights, the entire ground was used as if it was an erasable art-slate.. The fifa anthem, "Saaminaamina waka waka" sung by Shakeera, along with her dance welcomed everyone to the final with the broad beautiful smile from her.
