Spain and Argentina were my favorites until I watched Germany. Joachim Low created a great young team with super football skills but the lack of experience cost them the World Cup.
Anyways , I think Spain deserved to be a champion after beating Germany at the semi-finals.
The Referees at the tournament were generally bad. I also don’t understand why FIFA put those huge screens at the stadium where you can see the difficult positions with slow motion repeats. It sure didn’t help to FIFA’s referees!!!!
The final game was better than I though. I believe that Holland was really lucky with the referee because if he was a little more brave , he would give at least one direct red card to De Jong for his karate kick to Alonso and also Van Bommel could have easily two yellow cards before the first half.
Anyways , these are my favorite players of the 2010 FIFA World Cup...
