I have no doubt that the three, the most destabilizing is Messi, but if just for that Christian could have slipped into the shortlist.

If it were the work of a year which was taken into account, the absence of Sneijder (especially in Europe champion and runner-up of the World) is inexplicable. The act of throwing a car almost just could not have been the determining factor, but Forlan (Atletico leading UEFA and Uruguay to fourth in the world) should have been alternated.

The criteria seem to be a mystery then. What is clear is that this must be the year of the Spanish. All we wanted to see in 2010 the world wide Messi and more that some media are bent on selling the contrary, the crack did not appear. Do not score a goal and did not come to the rescue of his team when he was beaten by Germany and even their achievements with the club (“just” a league) are much poorer than previous seasons.

Even Casillas is key to closing the prison at Cardozo in the second round and hand in hand to Robben in the final deserved a better fate.
But in the end it was tinged with FC Barcelona.

I think Xavi Iniesta had a better World. However, the manchego was decisive. His goal gave the title to Spain and that has to weigh.

In summary: For quality Messi, Xavi year, by a preponderance Iniesta and justice should be a draw.

Andres Iniesta knew what it was like a moment of glory. It happened at Stanford Bridge in 2008 when an own goal in stoppage of the game against Chelsea, got to Barca in the Champions League final later earned the Catalans.

But he did not expect the manchego is that history reserved for a new period epic. Three minutes from the end of an extension of the agony of Barca took a pass from Cesc, he controlled the ball with great tranquility and sent him with violence within the mesh, meaning the winning goal for the Red is worth a championship. And last but not least was named the MVP of the game as it could be otherwise.

But if anything characterizes the small Fuentealbilla player is his humility. After his goal and at a time when the pulse reaches its peak elastic Iniesta lifted a shirt showing a message that read in memory of the late Dani Jarque, who died last year from heart disease. “Dani Jarque always with us.”

Crack numbers

Iniesta dawned very young and quickly earned a spot in the Spanish team. At 22 he made his debut in The Red and made it through the front door because it was not in a friendly or a qualifying match, the manchego debuted at the 2006 World Cup against Saudi.

After that game grew on Barça and took ownership in a team despite what expensive was the mere fact of going convened. In fact at Euro 08 ‘was the only player who played every game from the start. And in this World Cup only a mini-injury prevented him from repeating gesture missing only one meeting of the seven that led Spain to glory.

In the Netherlands, the manchego adds 49 caps with 42 wins, 4 draws and only 2 defeats. Although not a scorer but a great assistant, Iniesta sum 7 goals, though undoubtedly made in the Soccer City Stadium will remember him forever.

Iniesta’s “been busy” in the final

The final hero, the man who has made us world champions has assured the end of the game that neither he nor his colleagues know “that we tied.” After receiving a great pass from Cesc, that of Fuentealbilla scored the winning goal by drilling Spanish goal nets Netherlands.

Midfielder of the ‘red’ does not claim credit for the victory and reminded all his colleagues “have all done an incredible job.” He also said that “we do not know the scope that this” in relation to the reaction of the Spanish population has exploded with joy at the Barca goal.

Feeling “unbelievable”

On the scoring play of Iniesta said “I saw that Cesc could give me the pass and then went crazy.” The feeling after the goal was “incredible” as the words of the protagonist and the timing of raising the ‘golden’ cup Iniesta said “is the most beautiful of all.”

Holland were already being rebuked prior to the final but these events were on a wholly different scale and FIFA should take additional action considering the harm done to the culmination of a tournament that means so much around the globe. The losers were overwhelmingly the guiltier party, with seven bookings, not including Heitinga’s pair. Spain’s count climbed to five with late cautions for Xavi and Iniesta near the end.

Repellent as many of the events were, talent insisted on creeping in and Spain both manufactured and misused a rising number of opportunities, particularly in extra-time. As it is, all four of their matches in the knockout phase have been won by the same 1-0 score. The Euro 2008 title, too, came with that result. In Johannesburg the frustration while waiting for the breakthrough was vast. An unbeaten run of 25 matches came to an end for Holland but it would have been better for their reputation had they lost earlier instead of tying themselves to this notoriety.

It would still be a misrepresentation to state that Holland devoted themselves entirely to wrong-doing and, in the 82nd minute, Arjen Robben was denied by an Iker Casillas save at his feet. No one can deny, though, that the victors are entitled to the prize. This occasion might bear less infamy if only they had scored earlier. As results show, chance-taking is the sole defect. The right-back Sergio Ramos, for instance, put a free header high from a corner kick in the 77th minute. The side’s wastefulness was glaring, too, in extra-time.

Still, they are to be excused for any sense of disorientation. The mayhem and nastiness of the occasion were encumbrances for Spain, who would have envisaged a wholly different type of game. It was potentially unsettling that this victory in the World Cup could be seen as their destiny considering that they had never even reached the final before. Vicente del Bosque’s side, for that matter, have developed a highly individual style founded on exceptional technique that exhausts and demoralises opponents as a midfield of supreme artistry confiscates the ball.

The flaw lies in the fact that possession can be an end in itself for Spain. European champions though they might be, the team began their World Cup programme in South Africa with defeat by Switzerland. They went behind then and a single goal sufficed for the victors. That occasion must have been prominent in the thoughts of the coach, Bert van Marwijk, and the Holland players. It can certainly be agreed that adversity of another sort lay before Spain in Johannesburg.

There had been an expectation that the Dutch would be much less respectful than the young Germany side that lost to Spain in the last four. Holland have a hard-bitten air and Mark van Bommel, the defensive midfielder, is utterly at peace while making enemies. Even so, no one anticipated this extreme conflict. Webb might well have shown Van Bommel a red card before the interval but was most likely trying to bring about some semblance of calm.

The standard medals for the officials should be seen as awards for a hazardous peace-keeping mission. Four bookings in the opening 22 minutes did not get the attention of players, particularly those of Dutchmen with their minds on anarchy.

Nigel De Jong took up old habits unacceptably later in the first half but escaped with a yellow card after landing his studs in the chest of Xabi Alonso.

The midfielder was unscathed but Spain had a fragility of sorts. Fernando Torres, out of form since a knee injury in March, did not come off the bench till near the close and, without him, the lack of a finisher is unmistakable. All the same, Ramos did connect with a Xavi set piece after four minutes and Maarten Stekelenburg was fully extended to parry to his right.

The subtler aspects of open play were generally forgotten. Spain, as anticipated, had more polish but the final assuredly did not gleam. Whatever was said at half-time did not lead to the players changing their ways. Before an hour was completed it had been necessary for Webb to caution Holland’s Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Despite being captain, veteran and cultivated left-back, not even he was above the ugliness.

The tone might have altered swiftly with a goal that looked likely in the 62nd minute. Wesley Sneijder suddenly introduced artistry with a lovely pass that put Arjen Robben clear of Spain’s defence and the winger attempted to take care, yet Casillas got his right leg in the path of the parting shot and conceded merely a corner.

It was a spell in which the Dutch were in the ascendancy. The better moments made it all the more infuriating that Webb still had to keep reaching for his yellow card. For convenience sake he would have been as well keeping it in his hand at all times. There were only three players from the Holland starting line-up who were not cautioned: Stekelenburg, Dirk Kuyt and Sneijder.

Whatever sanctions may lie ahead, Spain at least punished them by claiming the World Cup.
