Last week of FIFA world cup promises to be fun. Germany Vs Spain would be a great match and Holland are favorites against Uruguay. Uruguay,who were lucky to get past Ghana, can still salvage the south american pride though the chances are very remote. Will it be Holland or Spain or the mighty Germans, only the time will tell. However, Europe was back and how! Holland shocked Brazil, Germany annihilated Argentina and Spain went past Paraguay to have 3 European teams in the semifinals, with Uruguay as the lonely south american team and now it seems that a European team would do what no other team has done in past, that is to win the world cup even when staged outside Europe. Brazil and Argentina were almost certain to be there. It was wildly expected that there would be at least 2 if not 3 south american teams in the semifinals and some even dreamt of an all south american affair with Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay all making it to the semis. There were 4 South American Teams, 3 European Teams and 1 African Team in the Quarterfinals of the FIFA 2010 World cup.

Will we see the Spanish flag victorious or will it be the Dutch who would ‘rule’ South Africa once again. But not to forget this is the world cup final and anything can happen on the day. Spains are certainly the favorites of the ‘pundits’ though. Spain are the defending Champions and certainly have the team with big stars like David Villa, Fernando Torres, Xavi and Iniesta while Dutch have Sneijdar, Robben and Robin Van Persie in top form. This would also be the first occasion when an European team wins the World Cup held outside Europe. Spain defeated the well oiled Germany team 1-0 and Holland outclaased Uruguay 3-2 in the semifinals. It would be the first world cup for the team that wins, while Holland have been twice here before and lost out for Spain it is their first big final. I would be the Spanish Armada taking on the might of the Dutch brigade in the FIFA 2010 World Cup Football finale on July 11th 2010.
