Spain shattered a wall of disbelief and underachievement to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup after a rather cagey, tense and scrappy final. Paul the Octopus' almost unblemished track record continued. Andreas Iniesta showed just why he's considered a genius. Alongside Xavi in central midfield, the two in unison proved they have the armoury to unlock any defence.
English referee Howard Webb will be remembered for his catalogue of debatable decisions through the night; from his handling of Nigel De Jong's kung-fu kick on Xabi Alonso to his failure to award Netherlands a corner minutes before Spain's eventual goal. But it wasn't a particularly easy game to referee, and contrary to popular belief, Webb did fairly well.
Well, the curtains may have come down on the world's greatest sporting event, but the beautiful game goes on. Speaking of beautiful, it's now Arsenal in focus. Marouane Chamakh and Laurent Koscielny have put pen to paper. Potential signings have kept the rumour mill busy. But Arsene Wenger's keeping his cards close to his chest, as always.
