VU VU ESPANA ... Spain captain Iker Casillas lifts the World Cup trophy

ANDRES INIESTA scored the goal that sank the brutal Dutch to clinch Spain their first-ever World Cup.

Justice was done when the Spanish hero struck four minutes from the end of extra time.
But the final was marred by disgraceful Dutch tactics with English ref Howard Webb showing a record 14 yellow cards plus one red to Dutch thug Johnny Heitinga.

Dutch boss Bert van Marwijk blasted Webb. He claimed: "I don't think the ref controlled the match well.
"I'm trying to analyse the match as best as possible. But I read a few things today about how angry Spain were at his refereeing in the first match against Switzerland.
"If you view the performance of the referee today, you'd almost think now that that first match had an influence on this game."
Van Marwijk admitted that there were some "terrible" fouls but insisted both sides were responsible.
He added: "It's not our style. Let me put it this way, it's not our style to commit horrible fouls. It's not our kind of football.
"It was a World Cup final and people were tense. I think both sides, also the Spaniards, committed terrible fouls."
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque refused to criticise Holland for their rugged approach.
He said: "First of all I should congratulate our opponents. They made it very difficult for us to play comfortably.
"It's been a very intense match and congratulations to them."
Hero Iniesta admitted: "It was a very tough game, a very rough game - there were all sorts of things happening on the pitch."
