Congratulates the Spanish Footballers- Spacelocker.com

July 17, 2010 - PRLog -- I am sure you are now aware that Spain has won the 2010 World cup in a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands. All of us at Spacelocker send out our sincerest congratulations to the Spanish footballers. Even though it was a low score, it was an exciting game. Some said the Dutch played “dirty football”. I say that with that much at stake, both sides played with extreme enthusiasm and a desire to win — after all this was the World Cup not a tea party!

And our friend Paul the octopus maintained its perfect record. Not only did it correctly predict the outcome of Germany’s 3-2 victory over Uruguay in the consolation round; it correctly predicted Spain would triumph over the Dutch in the World Cup final.

Paul the octopus is so loved by the Spanish that the Madrid zoo has made an offer to Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany to transfer Paul to the Spanish zoo. However the German aquarium has rejected the transfer bid and said that Paul will stay where it is.

After the overtime Spanish victory, the celebrations started all over Spain. It was a perfect time for this as well. It is normal for the Spanish to go out and only begin to party after 11 p.m. From Madrid to Barcelona to the little villages scattered all over the country, the Spanish partied like never before. Their football team was now a world power in the sport. In 2008 they had won the European Cup. Now the World Cup. It is heady times for all Spanish football fans.

And now almost a week after the drama of World Cup tournament, South Africa is assessing the tournaments impact on the country. And that impact is mostly positive. Yes it was a huge cost, and yes not everyone in South Africa benefited directly from FIFA agreeing to hold the World Cup in South Africa; but the country has undergone a transformation. It is proud of what it accomplished and what it showed to the world. As many ordinary South Africans said when interviewed, they now feel they are part of the world community. That kind of feeling cannot be measured in money … but it will definitely change South Africa for the better.
