The lone goal made by Spain against the Netherlands happened at extra time.

Andres Iniesta is undeniably the most popular spaniard today.  After kicking the ball passed the dutch goal keeper, Maarten Stekelenburg, he hoisted Spain into the select few countries which have won a football world cup.

Paul the octopus oracle keeps his perfect record as Spain wins the world cup. 

After regular time the match between Spain and the Netherlands is scoreless.

The World Cup finals will be played by Spain and the Netherlands.  Both teams have never won the cup.  The Netherlands are unbeaten in the qualifying rounds in fact they are one of only two teams to have 100% wins.  Brazil also have this record in 1970.  Spain on the other hand has the lowest number of goals scored for any finals team.   In order not to have this dubious record, if Spain wins they must score 4 goals against the Netherlands.  The experts and fans are divided.  Most people have positive sentiments towards the Netherlands.  Spain wins however in most media polls.  In Germany, Paul the octopus oracle, picks Spain to win and Paul has picked all the winners in the last 6 games of this World Cup.  If the octopus can do it I can too.  I pick the Orange team. 

The San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain is an annual celebration notorious for its running of the bulls.  It's a nine day festivity famous for scenes of amateurs and bystanders running infront of bulls as they make their way in fenced off sections of city streets.  The practice is told to have originated in the 14th century.  If you're going to transport herds of bulls from their corrals to the market, you have to do it efficiently.  You don't want the bulls to do a "Ferdinand" and stop to smell the flowers.  The only way to do it is to get them excited.

but it looks like I cried to soon.

Hollywood make-up artists are really good.  Take a look at how they made Viggo Mortenson (marked) look just like the character he is playing.  In this case it's a real life person, Sigmund Freud. [tags hollywood,viggo mortenson,sigmund freud] [end]

On July 2, 1881, then President James A. Garfield of the United States was assassinated by Charles J.

This is not about Facebook .  This is not about the Glastonbury Festival .  This is about one of those moments when you just get the feeling something is about to explode but you don't know how big the bang is.  An estimated 70,000 people attended the music and performance art festival.  Somebody took a panoramic picture of the audience.  Using Facebook Connect everyone started tagging the photo and so far 2,000 tags and counting.  This must be the most tagged photo in facebook so far.
