That pass to Cassilas could have been the most awesome goal ever!
 
The way this game is going I think it will be down to penalties and some of the players on both sides will have to shoot twice as they won't have 5 players a side to take them :D

Johannesburg – The immediate lead-up to the World Cup soccer final was marked by drama when an invader crossed the pitch at Soccer City here and tried to grab the trophy off its stand.

The rival teams Spain and Holland were in the tunnel ready to take to the turf, with dignitaries including President Jacob Zuma primed to do likewise, when the man - not exactly running at breakneck speed from the far side of the ground and slow to be spotted by security men - advanced to within breathing distance of the gleaming cup.

As he appeared to lunge at it, an official unceremoniously pole-axed him to the ground right in front of the massed ranks of photographers, as others joined the melee.

He was picked up in a forward “dive” position and bundled away, as FIFA people frantically beckoned to the players to create a gap for his evacuation through the tunnel.

Less than a minute later FIFA president Sepp Blatter was noticeably booed by sections of the capacity 90 000 crowd as he accompanied South Africa’s head of state onto the pitch.

The one-man pitch invasion was a near carbon copy of an incident in the semi-final between Spain and Germany at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, when a young Italian who had conned his way close to the pitch claiming to be wheelchair-bound, briefly interrupted the game after it had started.

This explains why the had cut out the trophy ceremony I thought it was ill planning on the broadcaster's side.
 
Spanish players are very unsporty by constantly surrounding referee asking to dish out cards.

Yes, but it was cut short. They showed him remove the trophy and then as he was walking with it the shot changed showing a stadium and then the hallway the players where standing in. They didn't show the whole thing like they do in every WC. That confused me.
