Football first and Spain have claimed their first FIFA World Cup title – beating The Netherlands 1-nil in extra-time in Johannesburg’s Soccer City.
Andres Iniesta scored the only goal of the tie after 116 minutes of play in a game that saw a record number of yellow-cards and the sending off of Holland’s John Heitinga.
Spain now hold the titles of World and European Champions.

Finally in Formula One - Mark Webber turned anger into a British Grand Prix win as team-mate Sebastian Vettel again failed to convert pole into victory.
Vettel sustained a puncture after making the faintest of contact with Lewis Hamilton on the first corner during an enthralling start in front of a 120,000-strong crowd at a sunny Silverstone.
Webber claims his third win of the year by 1.3 seconds from McLaren's Hamilton, who has now extended his championship lead to 12 points.

Spain were deserved winners - they were the side who actually played some football! As for F1 - it's interesting to see how Ferrari are really struggling. I'm expecting to see some big changes next year.
