Game 28

After nearly a month of entertaining and dramatic football the World Cup final will be played out between Holland and Spain. This means whoever triumphs, there will be a new winner of the World Cup. Last night in a tight game Spain showed more class in midfield and managed to keep the German danger man Mesut Ozil quiet. It was the unsung hero defender Carlos Puyol who scored a powerful header to send Spain through!

Fact of the day:

Nike is producing shirts for nine of the teams participating in the World Cup. Each shirt, including the ones on sale to the public, is made from eight plastic bottles.
