Spain hero Olga Carmona finds out father tragically passed away before final
Spain's match-winner Olga Carmona was told of her father's passing following the game after the family decided not to tell her in the build up.The big calls in life!
The right call I would say - imagine having that dumped on you just before you play the biggest game of your life
Yup. And what better way to honour his memory than for his daughter to win the world cup

I was happy to read that Spain won, as they and Japan were the two best sides to watch during the WC.
Bonmatà a deserved Golden Ball winner.
Interesting that Spain got absolutely walloped by Japan in the group stages 4-0

Watched that game in full and it was the strangest of games - Spain ended up with 70% possession and Japan sat in a low block and then broke occasionally. Virtually every shot they took ended up rifling into the net, one of the best 90 minutes of finishing ever seen. Both teams had already qualified so Spain didn't seem all that bothered.

I watched that game live. IIRC the Japanese GK also made some outstanding saves to deny Spain. The speed at which Japan moved the ball through the midfield on the counter-attack was a sight to see. They weren't able to do the same against Sweden.

I was at the Spain Sweden game. The Swedes towered over the Spaniards, but they were bloody tough, and generally withstood the physical assault well

Is she going to be in the next Exorcist movie or has she got her shirt on backwards?
