South Africa 2010 - World Cup 19th Edition

The 2010 world cup winner will be crowned on the 11th of July. Is it going to be Spain or the Netherlands? Will it come down to penalties? Let's Iker Casillas and Ajax goal stopper Maarten Stekelenburg answer that.

The battle will be fierce in the middle. Hopefully Cesc Fabregas will be healthy enough to play or we might see Arjen Robben run havoc. And not to forget the covet golden shoes. Will it be in the hands of David Villa or could it be the year of Wesley Sneijder. Whatever happen we will definitely get a new and first-time soccer world champion. Wish both teams all the best.
