This edition of the world cup was a real success. All the South African stadiums were fabulous and we all now know what a Vuvuzela is. At the final match I was cheering for the Netherlands (i dunno, i've always like their orange colour) but it was Spain who made it. That's all good, they very well deserved it for having great soccer teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, experienced coach Vincente Del Bosque and individual talent like David Villa, Iker Casillas the No.1 goalkeeper and others. It was the first time that Spain reached the final and even win the title to become the second team after Brazil to win the Cup in another continent than their own and still they won it with their local coach. All said, they deserve the international recognition for all their soccer achievements including Euro 2008.
For me the best player of the tournament was Diego Forlan of Uruguay who really mastered the Jabulani Adidas football with repeated goal scoring free-kicks to bring his team in the semi-finals. My thought also goes to Germany, who to my eyes is the best tactical soccer team ever with their eternal third place in recent succeeding World Cups.
