Felicidades Espana, Campeones del Mundo!

I stole the title from the NYT:

With a goal from Andres Iniesta in the 26th minute of extra time, Spain became the seventh country to win the World Cup, beating the Netherlands by 1-0 before 85,000 fans at Soccer City in Johannesburg and millions of television viewers around the world.

From Catalonia in the northeast to Andalusia in the south, I imagine the entire country of Spain is going bonkers. Wine is undoubtedly being consumed (and spilt) in great quantities.

It certainly wasn't a pretty game, but it was a really hard-fought one. Congratulations to Spain and to The Netherlands.
