For the first time ever, Spain will be playing in the final of the World Cup. And the side they'll be facing, the Oranje of the Netherlands, are there for the first time as well, ensuring that the victory will be even sweeter for one these two long-suffering football powerhouses. Always a bridesmaid, everyone said of Spain. Well, it was more like 'always a wedding caterer', because not only did Spain always come up short, they did so in spectacularly disappointing fashion. But those days are gone, after their dominating 1-0 victory over the Germans this afternoon. Yes, a 1-0 victory can be dominating. And so we wait for Sunday afternoon, for what is sure to be the most watched sporting event of the year, shaming the Super Bowl by a factor of 10. I can only imagine the fiestas in the Spanish streets after this win. Cross your dedos!
