Sports: Soccer: It'll be Netherlands v Spain in the Final on Sunday

Kevin Freuters on Reuters s+t:   "It'll be Netherlands v Spain in the Fnal and we'll have a new name on the World Cup."  Go to the Reuters  WorldCup webs+t  for fantastic pictures (by Joachim Hermann) of the German goalie, Bastian Schweinsteiger, one of these pix shot in the goalie's abject desolation after the Spanish scorer, Poyal 73, heads-in a "football" from the corner in the game's 74th minute, his winning drive into the net succeeds and thereby Germany loses the game to Netherlands 1-0.  A heartbreaker for the Germans, a godsend for the Dutch, altho now they face a formidable Spain in the Final on Sunday.
