Uruguay are the fourth best team at this World Cup

It is official - the fourth best team at the 2010 World Cup is Uruguay. Well done lads - you deserve it.

The third best team is Germany and you know what, I can try to gloss this match over for you, but I wont.

It is a pointless match that FIFA need to cancel for Brazil in 2014 because nobody really cares who is the third or fourth best team - people only care about the team that wins.

So - well done Germany - you are the third best team. Well done. We salute you.

Tomorrow is the day - the Dutch take on Spain and you know what, we really can not wait. It wont have as many goals but it should be a good game. Follow us.

World Cup 2010 final day: Dutch v Spain

The big day is here and in just under 12 hours, the game will kick off. The Dutch take on Spain in the 2010 World Cup final and we will be live all day on Twitter and following it up after the event here.

As for who will win - we think Spain but we would also like to see the Dutch win - but we think it will be too close to call and we wouldn't be surprised if there was very few goals and this game went into extra-time.

Our question of the day to the right suggests it will be Spain - but as we have seen at this World Cup, anything is possible in football and we are not writing off the Dutch and you shouldn't either.

So, this is nearly the end. Thank you and see you later or somewhere else starting next week.

The final curtain: World Cup 2010 comes to an end

All good things come to an end and today is no different. The World Cup is over and we just have three awards to announce, then we will close our doors and not bother you again from here.

We will bother you from Footballocracy - our new site all about football, but for now, we are here to say goodbye.

We are also here to tell you that Uruguay striker Diego Forlan was named the winner of the Golden Ball as the best player of the World Cup. The Atletico Madrid forward, 31, scored five goals and was a major influence for his side who reached the semi-finals.

German striker Thomas Mueller, who also scored five at this World Cup was named as the best young player of the tournament and also won the Golden Boot for most goals - his three assists acting as a tie-breaker and winning him the award.

But and as so many papers have said today - the real winner is South Africa. It was a fantastic World Cup, even if one or two things were a surprise.

Spain win 2010 World Cup: Netherlands 0 Spain 1

Our last ever post will be coming tomorrow. It will be a match report, but this is just to finalise the 2010 World Cup; Spain beat the Dutch after scoring the winner with four minutes to go in extra time.

The goal was scored by Andres Iniesta and with the Dutch reduced to ten men, it was close to impossible for the Dutch to do anything.

The Dutch players are in tears and so are some of the Spain players. The others are throwing Vicente del Bosque into the air.

Not the best game but Spain are deserved winners. Well done, but I do feel a bit sorry for the Dutch.
