Spain is the new World Cup Champions of World Cup 2010.
Andres Iniesta scored in the 116th minute of extra time against the Netherlands, giving the Spanish their fourth consecutive 1-0 win and their first World Cup. They are the first European team to win the Cup outside Europe and the first team to win it after losing the first match. Spain’s offense sputtered at times but its defense, one goal allowed in seven matches, was superb. The best team won, even if they were seldom imperious.
In this incredible league title winning season of 2009-2010, Barça have also set a number of club and even national records.

The epicenter, at a depth of about 6.0 km, was 22.9 degrees latitude north and 120.6 degrees longitude, in the same mountainous region of rural Kaohsiung county that endured the brunt of the damage from Typhoon Morakot, a devastating storm that killed about 700 people last August.
God bless Taiwan!
