And no wonder. The player ‘orange’ was declared runner in the world with Holland and won the treble with Mourinho at Inter being the banner of ‘nerazzuri’.

On the other hand, used to praise the work of his former coach Jose Mourinho, who agreed in the Inter. “A year Mou worth more than ten years with any coach,” he said bluntly.

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.”

However two teams have performed consistently well while perhaps more fancied teams around them like Brazil, Argentina, England, France and Italy have flattered so deceive. Or in the case of the last three, not flattered at all. These teams are Holland and Spain. And the irony is they have never played each other in a major tournament before.

So now it comes down to one game. But just who will win the World Cup?

Can Holland Win the World Cup?

Only one team remain undefeated during the entire tournament, the Netherlands. They eased their way through the group phases and then disposed of Slovakia, the mighty Brazil and Uruguay. They have played at a consistently high standard and tempo throughout and have peaked at exactly the right time.

No longer tarred with rumours of in house fighting this squad is united. In Wesley Sneijder they arguably have the player of the tournament and one of the World Cup’s leading scorers. He has been fantastic, running games from midfield with his playmaking genius. Plus in Dirk Kuyt, Robin Van Persie and Arjen Robben they have a constant goal threat. They do however still look suspect at the back at times.

The Dutch were not much fancied prior to the tournament as they have a reputation in the last few years of having style over content. Not in 2010, they have a real steel about them that just might see them lift the World Cup, a feat that even the great side of the seventies never achieved despite reaching two finals.

Can Spain Win the World Cup?

For so many years Spain were the much fancied team who could never grasp the brass ring and win a major tournament. That all changed in 2008 when they won the European Championship. Since then there is a new found belief in the Spanish team that they can beat anyone.

One thing Spain have done in this tournament is grind out results against tough opposition. They showed tremendous patience in games against Paraguay and Portugal respectively, and then in a game of football chess against the impressive Germany in the semi final.

In Iniesta they have arguably the most consistent international player in the world. Pique, Ramos, Alonso and Puyol are all world class players. And while Torres has misfired up until now, David Villa has lit up the world stage with his priceless goals. This team believes they are destined to win the World Cup. And this from a side who actually lost their opening game again Switzerland.

As in every match throughout the tournament selection in the capital the meeting lived intensely hours before it started, with people rushing his efforts to be free at the appointed time watching television.

Thousands of fans braved the winter cold and the threat of rain and headed to downtown Montevideo to attend the meeting on the giant screen installed for the occasion on the Plaza Independencia.

Others, like President José Mujica, went to the theater of the national broadcasting company to watch football with Executive members and hundreds of high school students willing to give his last breath to encourage the ‘sky’.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country took cover in offices, businesses, shops, houses and bars, wrapped in white and blue flags of the country and with their faces painted with the hope that his country reached the final of a world championship first time since 1950.

Attendees at the plaza was James ‘The Positive’, 82-year veteran aficionado who already went to the same place last Friday when combined Uruguay eliminated Ghana in the quarter finals in an epic match that was decided in penalty kicks .

True to his nickname, ‘The Positive’ Efe said during the game that Uruguay was “going up their game” and that the Uruguayan team would win.

“The conditions are, and is the faith of the people and their safety, and that energizes and moves the hand of God, and God does miracles,” he said with a smile.

The subsequent defeat not daunted the amateur, who armed with a light blue ratchet ancient witness of Uruguay at the World Cup victories in 1930 and 1950, tried to encourage more dispirited.

“We went close but could not. However this has been very positive, we have shown the world that here there is still football,” he said.

Another witness was sad but happy Natalie Guerra, who came to the square with an intricate white makeup and blue and said that for the small Uruguay, a country of 3.5 million people, “being in the semi-final is like champions. ”

“Yes we thought it could win, but we do not. We would have come out champions, we are sad. But at the same time no one thought we passed the first stage, it was like a miracle that made it grow the illusion,” he concluded.

After the game, people left the Independence Square and went to the place of the celebration of other occasions, without much fuss but without getting carried away by anxiety.

Dejected, but not sunk, the young Marcos Efe Corujo confessed to his pride in the team coached by Oscar Washington Tabarez, who did not surrender at any time.

“I am proud, yes. It is sad, but everyone is happy because they got there upstream. It is a pity, but it happened. The boys gave everything,” he concluded.
