First World Cup for Spain
by Milota Sidorova

Nervous and breathtaking. That was the ultimate match, the World Cup finals between Spain and Netherlands. The result didn't come in the regular time, so both teams were forced to try the fortune in extra additional time. Although one could be in doubts when favorizing the winner, because both teams were strong, projections were mostly on Spanish side. Dutchmen were great, defensive, careful, but missed that small portion of luck, when they lost several 100 percent goal chances. Spaniards played equally well, but from the beggining were slightly dominating the match, winning the ball possession 55-45 in the first half. There was a blank space not only on the playground, bu! t also in players' minds in the first 45 minutes. After the break, Dutch team significantly increased the pace and caught up to Spanish team. But the character of the match was suggesting, it would be a one goal match. The team, being able to break strong defence and grab some luck would be the winner till the end of the match. As the time ran out, players started to be more agressive that resulted in eight yellow and one red cards for Dutch and approximately five yellow cards for Spanish team. John Heitinga left the match soon before the end, after getting two yellow and a red card.The match was running out of its regular time. And just two more minutes before penalties, a surprising goal from Andres Iniesta had appeared. That moment, everybody knew it was the breaking point of the match. Dutchmen were fighting hard to make it to the penalties where only a luck would sign the winner, but only 120 seconds were helpless to create attack and turn it into a goal. The mood aft! er the match was devastating. Bert van Marwijk, Netherlands co! ach said that it was the better team winning that night, but loosing World Cup Final was simply hard to take.How opposite to the happiness, extasy and great relief on the other side. I guess there was just nobody sleeping tonight in Spain.However, life goes on, either with golden or silver taste. Spain won against Netherlands 1-0.
