Viva España

Taken from Google

It a little bit late but I'd like to congratulate Spain for winning the World Cup 2010 held at Johannesburg, South Africa.

You could get more news here. 

If you wanna know why this sport is one of the most illustrious in the world, check how much they give to the winning teams. I hope The Philippines could join them in the near future. XD
