Netherlands 0 - 1 Spain

Well deserved Victory!! The Octopus said it all.
in reference to:
"In a game when a record number of yellow cards were given and John Heitinga was sent off in extra-time, both sides missed great chances from Arjen Robben and Cesc Fabregas, but Andres Iniesta netted in the 116th minute to give European champions Spain their first World Cup title."

Germany 0-1 Spain

The Spanish team were at their best against the prolific German side to earn a well deserved spot at the 2010 World cup final!
in reference to:
"Whatever the outcome at Soccer City on Sunday, there will be history made with a new name on the Trophy after Spain produced their best performance of these finals to end Germany's hopes of an eighth Final appearance and secure their first. Joachim Low’s men, by contrast, missing the suspended Thomas Muller, were unable to repeat the scintillating displays with which they swept aside England and Argentina and, as in 2006, suffered the anguish of semi-final defeat."

Uruguay 2 - 3 Netherlands

First time winner?
in reference to:
"Netherlands verdict: The Dutch may have stuttered at times but they were the better side. That said, Netherlands still have room for improvement ahead of a World Cup final against either Germany or Spain. Robben may be allowed a little more freedom in that game, which could hold the key to the Dutch triumphing for the first time."

Nadal # 1

Defending his title!!
in reference to:
"NADAL WINS, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4: Is he down? Has he sunk? Does he sleep with all the fishes? The Berdych battleship lists to love-30, courtesy of a devastating pass from the Spaniard. He makes one last attempt, hauling himself back up to 40-30. But the legs are gone and the brain is soup, and a moment later it's match point Nadal"

Argentina 0 - 4 Germany

Interesting!!!
in reference to:
"Argentina were buried thanks to a third-minute goal from Thomas Muller and two second-half efforts from Miroslav Klose either side of one from Arne Friedrich. Even Diego Maradona would had appreciated it had he not been in the opposite dug-out. An imperious masterclass from a side on the march."

Netherlands 2 - 1 Brazil

Samba boys head home!!
in reference to:
"Robinho, who had already had an effort ruled out for offside, fired the Brazilians ahead with just ten minutes gone, and the Dutch struggled to cope during the opening 45 minutes. But Felipe Melo's 53rd-minute own goal gave them fresh impetus and Sneijder won it 22 minutes from time as Melo was dismissed for stamping on Arjen Robben."

Uruguay (4)1 - 1(2) Ghana

Good Job Ghana, you made Africa proud!!
in reference to:
"Uruguay's Luis Suarez had used his hands to keep out a header in the last minute of extra-time but his red card will be no solace to the Black Stars after Asamoah Gyan's spot-kick hit the bar and Uruguay triumphed in the shoot-out."
