Deservingly Spain are world champions after years of under achieving although possessing the strongest of domestic leagues and the biggest and most glamourous of clubs in Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Spain has Barcelona as its core and plays the same style as Barcelona in La Liga.
This Spanish side –who could afford to keep Cesc Fabregas on the bench, played the best football during the cup. Spain combined flair, aggression, intent, precision, ingenuity and inventiveness as we saw them attack in waves after waves unrelenting in pressure and scything the defences.
It’s fitting too that the four teams that made the semis Spain, Netherlands, Germany and Uruguay played to win and looked to score goals. All four had their own distinctive attractive style which reassures and comforts that football still remains beautiful.
The Iker Casillas led and Vincent del Bosque coached Spain thoroughly deserved their victory - they continued to try to play their beautiful passing game in the face of intense provocation. The best team won and there is no denying that it is a popular win too.
