World Cup 2010 Summary

The closing ceremony of World Cup 2010 was held two days ago on July 11th in South Africa. Spain is the winner of this World Cup. Spain was only the Nation in the World Cup History that won the World Cup after losing its first match. Spain played its first match against Switzerland and Switzerland defeated the Spain with 1 goal. Many results of this World Cup was beyond my imagination like in the match Serbia : Germany (1-0). Many people had the expectation from South American nations Argentina and Brazil, however, it was empty-handed when Germany defeated Argentina, and Netherlands beat the Brazil. Uruguay played very well in this World Cup, and it was first time after 1978 that Uruguay reached to semifinals. England played individually rather than as a team, so this time England couldn't play well. Spain is only the European nation that won the World Cup for the first time in World Cup History that held out side of Europe.
Diego Forlan is the Best player of World Cup 2010 and golden ball was awarded to him. Diego Forlan was the player who had received the European golden boot two times after scoring more goals than other in Spanish League. Thomas Muller was awarded golden boot on the basis of top goal scorer and his assist for the goal. Thomas was also named as Best Young player of World Cup 2010. Casillas, the Goalkeeper of Spain, was awarded Golden Glove as Top Goalkeeper of the Tournament.
