world champion Spain!
Netherlands 1 Spain 0 x
JOHANNESBURG (AP) - The Angels led Spain to touch heaven.
With Andres Iniesta goal at 116 minutes, Spain defeated the Netherlands 1-0 on Sunday and won world titles for the first time in its history.
With Iniesta, Spain is a champion unpublished and no doubt others deserved a crown because it was superior to the Netherlands from the beginning to end.
Barcelona midfielder got his goal with a diagonal shot after being authorized by Cesc Fabregas.
"Having the opportunity to that goal as significant for the selection is incredible, "said Iniesta." yet I realized that success. I do not think we realize we have busy, this is crazy. "
Spain joined the European world title he won two years ago to join the exclusive club of France (World 1998-Euro 2000) and Germany (Euro 1972-World 1974) that achieves this couplet.
"This world championship I think it picked up momentum in this day of June 2008, said English coach Vicente Forest.
president Joseph Blatter FIFA handed the championship trophy goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas, to unleash the English celebration.
the other side of the sidewalk, only disappointment, and the Netherlands with a moniker that will surely not want, the selection of the best who has never won a World Cup. It has now lost three finals he played, including those of 1974 and 78.
prevailed in Spain vocation of attack, before a Holland that was derogatory entry in dealing with the ball and also remarkably sturdy.
Within five minutes the Dutch made three errors, the first by its lone point man, Robin van Persie, who turned to Sergio Busquets almost half of the field.
A thistles and thorns, Spain responded with flowers.
The first offering is made with a header from Sergio Ramos, after a free kick from Xavi Hernandez, Maarten Stekelenburg shifted to the right using both hands.
prevail on vertigo, David Villa had a great chance when he hit as a center came Xabi Alonso and the ball hit the side of the network, generating the first sound of choking goal, at least among the thousands in English.
more concerned in defending than attacking, Dutch only made do with a weak shot that Casillas Dirk Kuyt held peacefully.
Spain proposed his usual touch, clean start looking back, but Holland was determined to thwart those intentions drowning in the middle with Kuyt as the standard, and placing the body or leg to the limit. It did not matter.
was so Van Persie opened the warned list of four, two from each side that had the game before the half hour, since Spain entered the foul play of Holland, who also had his gunner Wesley Sneijder handing a stick.
"Football today is going forward and has awarded final good football," said Del Bosque, who refused to criticize the Dutch strategy to halt the English game by dint of kicks.
"If we play well us is by merit of the opposing team, "added the English boat." Hold 90 minutes at a pace that was hard to beat Holland. "
Amidst this scenario, the richness of English art was diluted in insignificance as Xabi, Xavi and Iniesta were unable to prevail because his playing Kuyt, Nigel de Jong and Mark Van Bommel was blocked.
with zonal marking or pressure. By hook or by crook.
And they tell Xabi, who received a kick to the chest from De Jong.
"Our faults may be somewhat sad for a final, but that's not our style, "admitted Rijkaard Bert van Marwijk." (But) I would love to win it with a not so nice football. "
discount the first time, Spain was a tremendous shock when Arjen Robben was the captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Casillas made such a sublime stretch to send the ball into the corner.
Spain gave the impression that came out complement eaten by anxiety of the goal, showing some nervousness before a Netherlands that allowed the possession of ball at the start, but coming only to the midfield.
In attack, Villa and Pedro Rodriguez did not work with his usual harmony and Spain only came with a Xavi free-kick that went over.
With Jesus Navas by Peter Del Bosque sought to change the face of the offensive, but without success.
Unchanged at all the label of one for all and all for one, the Netherlands continued its pattern of sacrifice in the way out of backlash.
Something was about to give revenues at 62 minutes when Robben was leaked behind the English defense to take a pass from Sneijder, Casillas faced a heads up and pulled a low shot that Real Madrid goalkeeper deflected a foot.
Miracle in the English area, in what then was the play with the best goal of the game perfume.
"There was a sense that the first team to score would win," said Van Marwijk. "Arjen had two great opportunities. We fought the whole match."
But Spain continued to preach the touch, although not many turns it faced as he could, as happened with a shot from Villa that you pasted in a Dutch defender Stekelenburg died of fright at his side.
Without the slightest regard for aesthetics, but granite in all its lines, Holland gave a new wake-up call: Robben went backlash, Carles Puyol tried to take the body but failed and Dutch alone in front of Casillas, took a shot that was blocked by the goalkeeper.
Double Casillas merit, because there had stuck to Robben shrinking spaces.
Conclusion: Spain got more but Holland did better, at least 90 minutes. Another finding: Spain hit something, but Holland did well.
"We are upset by the defeat because we were very close," said Kuyt.
At the start of extra time the Iberians were not kinked and not touch both had their big chance when Fabregas, in another classic move of backlash, as shot after being confronted by Xavi and his shot was interrupted Stekelenburg with legs in a desperate way.
First Part of that extra time was for Spain, which lacked only the goal that Del Bosque tried to find in the resumption bringing to Villa, he was unable to overcome their mark and five goals, and brought in Fernando Torres.
Expulsion Heitinga and Sneijder firing just outside were a prelude to the goal from Iniesta.
The world has a new champion.
