When Spanish eyes are smiling

As you have probably heard by now, Spain are the new World Cup champions.

The game featured a record number of yellow cards (kind of like penalties), some spectacular saves by both goalkeepers, and a goal in the final minutes of extra time to give Spain the 1-0 victory.

Spanish keeper Iker Casillas makes a leaping save.

Heartbreak for the Netherlands.

So a new champion is crowned, and another World Cup draws to a close. And of course, most importantly of all, Paul the Octopus' record of correct predictions is unblemished. You can check out the world's most famous mollusk's Facebook page here, if you are so inclined.
