The year 2010 will be remembered for two massive reason in the coming future. Firstly because Spain beat Holland to win their first ever World cup and secondly because South Africa became for the first nation in Africa soil to host the World cup. Iker Casillas when interviewed by his beautiful fiance who was wearing a lovely silver jewellery earrings told the media, he still doesnt believe Spain is World champion and also this is one of his greatest moments of all time.
Spain was most bookies favourite at the start of the tournament but after they lost the first game to Switzerland lots of people started questioning their mentality. But noone questioned about their chances or their performance when they beat Holland in the World cup final. It was not a fantastic match by Holland but it was a tactical battle. Lots of fouls interrupted the game. Holland conceded 28 fouls and Spain 19. It was like chess match other than a beautiful game of football.
Arjen Robben did have two brilliant chances to score for the Dutch but his shots were brilliantly saved by Iker Casillas. Then in the extra time one of the best players in the World cup Andres Iniesta scored a lovely goal which sealed the title for Spain. The celebration started shortly after when the final whistle went. Dutch players went straight to Howard Webb (the referee of the match) to complaint about the corner he never gave before the goal. If he had given it a corner then Spain would have never scored but thats life you have to move on from that. Overall Webb did well but I thought he was a bit too soft on tackles made by Dutch players on Spanish players.
Iker Casillas who started at 19 won his 112 on the day and he is not even 30. Holding the trophy as a captain must be some feeling. After the match few players kissed their silver rings and silver bracelets remembering their loved once. It was an awesome scene.
