Spain won the World Cup for the first time in its history as an extra-time goal from midfielder Andres Iniesta gave his country a last-gasp 1-0 victory over the Netherlands in the final at Soccer City.
The showpiece game of the South Africa-hosted tournament on Sunday was littered with no less than 13 yellow cards and one red but was settled by a moment of magic by the Barcelona man after he was played in by substitute Cesc Fabregas.
His 116th-minute strike was the goal all Spaniards were waiting for and spared both sides the agony of deciding the new world champions by penalties.
The breakthrough came after the Dutch had been reduced to 10 men, following Johnny Heitinga’s dismissal in the second half of extra time by referee Howard Webb for a foul on Iniesta.
“It’s incredible,” Iniesta told gathered media in a post-match news conference.
“What a joy especially when you see how we won it. There aren’t the words to describe what I am feeling. After my goal, I thought about my family and all the people who I love. But the victory is the fruit of a lot of work,” an emotional Iniesta told reporters. Read the rest of this entry »

Every product has a beginning. The Swiss watch industry is world celebrated for producing some of the leading watch brands, one of which is Rolex; and their story begins with the Day- Date watch and the subsequent replica Rolex Day – Date watch.
The History
The story behind the original Rolex brand dates back to 1905 when Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis conceptualized the Rolex Day-Date watch. Both well-known watch makers, they decided to join forces and came up with this outstanding timepiece. In 1908 they registered Rolex as a trademark and this led them to develop a watch brand that would soon grow to include many models loved worldwide.
A common business model is the supply and demand chain. An economic model based on price, value and quantity, it shows us that in a competitive market, price will fluctuate and often increase to balance the quantity demanded by consumers, and supplied by producers. This was the case with the Rolex brand, as consumers demanded more of the product, so the producers realized they could charge more for their watches. Today, the brand is so far developed and desired that producers are asking around $5000 per original Rolex watch.
It was due to the success of the original brand watches that the door opened for the development of the replica brands. Seeing a gap in the market, the producer of the fake brand began producing replica watches and by keeping the cost to below $350 per watch
With the same great features as the original brand, such as the perpetual calendar and automatic actions, Rolex Replica Day-Date watches are the affordable answer to style, function and reliability that the original brand is known for.
