Spain finally live up to expectations and won the World Cup! It was a difficult and very physical match that required extra time, but in the end, it was a solitary goal that got Spain their first ever World Cup trophy. It was also nice to see Rafa Nadal joined the Spanish squad in their celebration.
In other World Cup-trending topics, Paul the Octopus has a perfect 8-for-8 prediction record. He correctly selected the winner in all 7 matches played by Germany (including the battle for 3rd) as well as the final World Cup match between Spain and England.

Up North, Mark Webber wins another Grand Prix - this time in Silverstone - with Lewis Hamilton placing second. Jenson Button had a horrible qualifying round, landing him in 14th place, but he moved up really nicely and managed to place a very decent 4th. Hamilton and Button remain at #1 and #2 in the Drivers Championships respectively, but Webber overtakes Sebastian Vettel to go up to #3. It should be interesting to see how Red Bull Racing plan out the next race in Germany, which is Vettel's hometown.
