Spain won the World Cup for the first time when they beat Netherlands 1-0 after extra-time thanks to a goal by midfielder Andres Iniesta.

This match is also remembered for the number of players booked for fouls committed. English referee Howard Webb showed 14 yellow cards (2 yellow cards to Heitinga) in a bruising encounter - a record for the final - and sent off Dutch defender John Heitinga  in extra time.

Netherlands had to play with 10 men for the last 10 minutes of extra time when John Heitinga was sent off for hauling down Iniesta on the edge of the box.
 
Moreover, Spain's 1-0 extra time victory over Netherlands in the World Cup final on Sunday left them with a probably unwanted record of the fewest goals ever scored by the winners of the tournament.

Spain scored just eight goals in their seven games in South Africa, three less than the previous record low of 11 -- shared by Italy in 1938 (four games), England in 1966 (six games) and Brazil in 1994 (seven games).
Spain also became the first team to win the World Cup after losing their opening match.


Now the final standing of the Countries in the World Cup is:
1. Spain
2. Neteherlands
3. Germany
4. Uruguay

  Germany rounded off an impressive World Cup with a thrilling 3-2 win over a stubborn Uruguay on Saturday in a playoff for third place.


Furthermore this world cup is also remembered for lacklustre show of the stars like Rooney, Ronaldo, Kaka and the birth of new stars like Inestia, Forlan, Thomas Mueller, Robben, Sneijder etc.
Uruguay's Diego Forlan  won the best player of the tournament award. Forlan took 23.4 percent in the "Golden Ball" poll organised by world soccer body FIFA  and voted for by journalists. Dutch playmaker Wesley Sneijder was second with 21.8 percent and Spain's David Villa  third on 16.9 percent.

Mueller took the "Golden Boot" award given to the top scorer, using assists and number of minutes played as a tie-breaker. The German was also named Best Young Player.

As well as winning the World Cup, Spain also took the FIFA Fair Play Award. Their captain Iker Casillas won the "Golden Glove" prize for best goalkeeper.

Octopus Paul the Saint.

But the most dramatic thing is the prediction of the Octopus Paul. The oracle octopus correctly predicted Spain would win the World Cup by picking food out of a box with Spain's flag on it -- choosing it over the food in a Netherlands box.
 
 

Vuvuzelas

Today India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C15) successfully launches CARTOSAT - 2B Satellite from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota. The launch of PSLV - C15 was the sixteenth consecutive successful flight of PSLV. It had put the payload in 630 km polar Sun Synchronus Orbit(SSO).

Moreover, PSLV - C15 in its flight, alongwith CARTOSAT - 2B, carried four auxiliary satellites namely STUDSAT a pico-satellite weighing less than 1 kg, built jointly by students from a consortium of seven engineering colleges form Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, two nano satellites NLS 6.1 and NLS 6.2 from University of Toronto, Canada and ALSAT-2A, a micro-satellite from Algerian Space Agency.

CARTOSAT 2 - B

It is a 694 kg advanced Remote Sensing Sattelite built by ISRO.  It is mainly intended to augment remote sensing data services to the users of multiple spot scene imagery with 0.8 metre resolution 9.6 km swath in the panchromatic band.

It carries a sate of art Panchromatic Camera(PAN) and Solid State Recorder with a capacity of 64 Giga Bits to store the images taken by its camera. Data from the satellite will find applications in village level /cadastral level resource assessment mapping , urban and rural infrastructure development and management, transportation sysytem planning, cartographic maps, micro-watershed development plans and monitoring them.

Furthermore, imagery can be used for preparation of Forest Cover maps, tree volume, crop inventory, town and rural settlement planning and mapping, canal alignment, rural connectivity assesment, land use planning of coastal areas, monitoring coral and mangrove areas and the monitoring mining activities.

ALSAT-2A

It is a 116 kg Remote sensing satellite of Algerian Space Agency.

NLS- 6.1

It is AISAT-1 weighing 6.5 kg satellite built by Space Flight Lab of University of Toronto, Canada.

NLS- 6.2

It is TISAT-1 weighing 1 kg satellite built by University of Applied Sciences of Switzerland.

STUDSAT

Pico-satellite weighing less than 1 kg is built jointly by students from a consortium of seven engineering colleges from Andhra Prades and Karnataka.
