After more than a month long of showdown, the World Cup came to an end. In this series, there were many upsets and surprises. For example, the defending champion and runner-up, Italy and France respectively, were knocked out in the early stages. Uruguay, which was the dark house, actually finished in 4th place, due to a controversial handball in their quarter-final match with Ghana.
I support Holland, and thus I tried my best to watch all their matches. However, due to the early school hours, I can only watch the weekend matches. The final was an exception - my parents allowed me to watch it, as my favourite team was playing. It helped that I only have to reach school at 9am the next day! So, I stayed up for the match. The match was very interesting, as each team had many opportunities to score, but both did not cherish their chances. It was until 116th minute that the Spanish broke the deadlock and scored a goal. At that point in time, Holland's hopes of winning the World Cup was dashed.
Minutes after, it was the prize-giving ceremony. The Spanish team was presented with the trophy. I was heartbroken, but it was a wonderful season for Holland - being unbeatable until the finals, when they lost to Spain 1-0.
