Carles Puyol wills in the winner.Germany 0-1 Spain
It was a match played as cleanly as you'll ever see. There were hardly any late or hard tackles, there was no diving, there were no elbows or slaps to the face, no shouting at the refs. Just two sides with immense talent and respect -- both for each other and the game.
Spain's precision possession game largely kept Germany at bay, but ultimately it was an act of shear will power -- a leaping header from Carles Puyol on a corner -- that decided it. As C&B has commented, this was really the WC Final. The Dutch may end up winning the tournament, but for those who've watched the bulk of the matches the high-scoring Germans and the one-touch maestro Spaniards have clearly been the best two sides in South Africa.
