After raising the Cup and able to forest, which initially was reluctant to receive it, Boxes descended the steps of the aircraft with the trophy conquered, then lift on several occasions and followed by the rest of members of the “Red”. Then, the selection approached the area where they were the media, where posed for photos that inmortalizarán this time.

With flags and t-shirts of the spanish team, employees of AENA, of the airlines and the Security Forces of the State, among others, have endured under a strong sol the arrival of the footballers in the platform of Barajas, while chanted various slogans of celebration of victory and began blowing the vuvuzelas. Have joined the dozens of journalists, from first in the morning, expected in the old Flag of State from Barajas airport the arrival of the flight, which has been delayed more than three hours on the schedule.

The players have been received by two large posters of 42 meters with the slogan “Welcome to a country happier. Thanks!”, installed by a well-known brand of soft drinks. The airport also has approached the president of Iberia, Antonio Vazquez, a company with which he has traveled the selection, which has chosen for this plane “a crew of emergency”, with a commander Jose Antonio Revolt, with more than 17,560 flight hours, to drive this “flight historic”. The team starts as a long journey holiday in which they will be received by King Juan Carlos I, Iran to the Palace of the Moncloa, where he will do the same the president of the Government Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, and then procession through the streets of Madrid, where the expected a reception multitudinary.

It was a fantastic World”, reported a spokesman for the aquarium, thus giving also by settled applications arrivals worldwide, the public or domestic, asking their services. The octopus Paul, guess of the results of World of South Africa, where the Red has been the triumph, you cannot predict the outcome of the next edition of the euro to be held in Poland and Ukraine in 2012, since the cephalopods tend to live up to two years, and in addition, the experts consider that this animal has been able predict the victory of Spain in the world for the colors of the Spanish flag. Sports – Football General – - so has explained, the expert in octopus of Marine Research Institute of CSIC in Vigo, Angel War, even as it has clarified that an animal cannot become fortunetelling, “is a metacientífico” that is beyond the human knowledge, although he may come to learn and assimilate behaviors. In relation to if it can predict the results of the next World, War has stressed that, despite the fact that live in an aquarium, this type of copies do not survive more than two years.

“The live so little do not have much time of evolution but time to learn. The females can come to put 400,000 eggs and look after the start. After die”, has emphasized the specialist. With regard to the abilities of divination cephalopod, the investigator of the CSIC has commented that there are flags with colors more affordable than others, as is the case of the Spanish, with shade more showy and only two colors. “There is only a contrast easily detectable. In this way, the type of flag or this contrast it is much more attractive and say that it has properties divination is not possible to where we know,” he pointed out. Similarly, has indicated that the election of Paul has been influenced by other factors, such as the mussels who were in the bucket of Spain in the aquarium were fresher than in the rest of cups representing opponents of Spain.

“It makes no sense because the caregiver did not know who was going to win, with which can be pure coincidence”, he stressed. An octopus is a cephalopod and an animal invertebrate. They are first cousins of the oysters, scallops and mussels, and what is surprising, in the view of the expert, is that the nodes nervous of these animals, unlike their relatives, have come to merge in the octopus giving rise to a brain fairly well developed with two parties, above and below the esophagus. In this way, these animals have come to develop “quite a few capabilities” by what they can get to distinguish contrasts of colors, although they see in black and white, have a body of balance, have a suction cups that allow them to smell and discover what organic particles may or may not eat. In addition, have memory and, although they live just two years, you can reach to obey or send orders. “We are talking about an invertebrate that behaves in a similar to a fish.
Can learn, do not see colors, but can distinguish forms, roughness, is an animal capable of distinguishing tonalities and learn with small punishments, walk a maze. Can open a boat and eat what’s in. Have concerning intelligence,” he concluded War. The truth of the case is that with its eight successes on eight forecasts in this world, including the final victory of Spain compared to the Netherlands, form a record impressive, which have given the octopus a resonance media never achieved by any representative of the animal world. Be open multiple questions about its rounder as oracle and also biographical.

With both teams looking at the possibility of settling all the shots on goal, Iniesta put an end to this meeting marked by many cartons – the Netherlands have also completed 10 – and missed chances on both sides .

The Spanish midfielder has agreed a pass from Cesc Fabregas at the entrance of the Dutch penalty area before scoring with a cross shot that goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg was touched by the hand, but could not stop.

“I can not believe it,” said Iniesta, who was elected the MVP of the game. I had the opportunity to score the goal that was so important for my team. It’s something downright incredible . I simply offered my small contribution in a game that was very stressful. ”

Spain becomes only the third European nation to hold the European title and world together after West Germany (Euro ‘72 and ‘74 World) and France (World ‘98 and Euro 2000).

“It’s a cut, has launched the Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas. The European Championship was an important moment in our lives, but today (Sunday) it’s bigger than anything we have experienced so far. ”

Both teams created some good scoring chances during regulation time at Soccer City, but the game was somewhat open after the hour mark, while the “cage” Dutch prevented Spain set up its passing game with very physical football, which earned him eight boxes.

“Our mistakes can be sad for a final, but it is not our style of play,” said Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk.

Defender John Heitinga has also been sanctioned for a second time at the 19th minute of overtime, forcing the Netherlands to finish the game at 10 players. It is only the fifth player in the history of the World Cup to be sent off in the final.

Spain has also received its share of boxes – five – to make this one final game with the dirtiest in history. The previous record for penalties in a final was six, between West Germany and Argentina in 1986.

“We have had great difficulty in establishing our game, told the Spanish coach Vicente del Bosque. This match was very intense.”

This is the third time the Netherlands lost the World Cup final. They were inclined in 1974 and 1978 against West Germany and Argentina, respectively.

“We are frustrated to have lost because we went so close,” said the Netherlands striker Dirk Kuyt. I know we can not blame others, but the referee was in favor of Spain. ”

Spain illustrated earlier

Spain started the game in a pattern identical to that of the semi-final against Germany, in which the Barcelona Pedro Rodriguez has been preferred to Fernando Torres. Dutch side, van Marwijk made two changes with the return of Nigel de Jong and Gregory van der Wiel, suspended for the semifinal against Uruguay. They were replaced respectively Demy de Zeeuw and Khalid Boulahrouz.

Spain has quickly shown. On a free-kick from Xabi Hernandez, a cover of the head of Sergio Ramos forced Stekelenburg to make a decision of great class (5th). A little later, a volley from David Villa failed in the side netting (12th). The game was launched because, in the meantime, Kuyt took advantage of a bad pass from Sergio Busquets to send a strike soft and safe for Casillas (8th).

The Dutch have sought their salvation by pressing up to prevent their opponents from monopolizing the ball in midfield. They put the hard way and it’s a little miracle that Mark Van Bommel and De Jong, the two watchdogs of the midfield, not sentenced to a red card, but a simple warning of serious assaults (22nd and 28th).

“I would have loved to win by playing ugly football,” said van Marwijk.

Focused on defense, the Dutchman failed to organize their attack. The final situation of the first hot period is yet to make their credit, with a shot from Arjen Robben which Casillas had to lie (45th 2).

“We knew the match would be decided by one goal,” said van Marwijk. We’ve got two good scoring chances with Arjen (Robben). We were really in the game. ”

After the break, both teams continued to cancel each other. It took until the hour mark to see the best opportunity of the meeting. Served with a pass deep in light of Wesley Sneijder, Robben went alone Casillas, but lost his duel with the Madrid native, who turned the Dutchman’s strike the right leg (62nd). In response, Sergio Ramos, upon receipt of a corner, has also benefited from a ball goal, but did not not framed its takeover of the head (77).

Then Robben came back to Casillas after stumbling over withstood several big mistakes Carles Puyol, who also have deserved a red card (82).

Thirty-four minutes later, Iniesta scored his name in ink “Roja” in history.

After the goal, Korea bent arms and simply throwing long balls looking for their star striker, Tae Se, but without much luck. Meanwhile, Brazil came up and pulled out his magic. A highly participatory Robinho invented a magic pass to Elano enabled for this marked the second goal of the game.

Despite the punch that took the Brazilian team in the second half, the match against Korea did not hide the shortcomings of the ‘Canarinha’ in the core area, which began especially Kaka least one every time generates more doubts Despite being called to be one of the players of the tournament. And when the game was spent, emotion Korea put the marker when Yun Nam took Lucio’s doubts shot to Julius Caesar and the 2-1 final. But there was no time for more.
