The winner La Furia Roja (Spain)
Andres Iniesta scored in the 116th minute to ensure victory over European champions Holland in the final round of a compelling but most troubled by the intimidation tactics used by the Dutch when they tried to impose their opponents.
"Today is a gift for beautiful football," said Del Bosque."Spain deserved this victory. We must celebrate and are very excited to give this victory to all the people of Spain."
Spain coach wisely menyingkapi questions about the tactics employed by the Netherlands, where Johnny Heitinga got a red card while seven other players received yellow cards from English referee Howard Webb.
"I spoke to the beautiful things of football," he said. "The Dutch played a very good job. This is a game that was balanced. Yes, indeed there are many violations but that is part of football."
Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk approach taken his players, which makes it accused of damaging the beautiful game in the Dutch style which has been known since long.
"We know it must have a very good day to beat them and the techniques we've done a good job. In most games, we were better."
Marwijk admitted there are number of cards issued as "something that is regrettable for a final."
But he added: "It's not our style, but once again you play to win."
"This is the World Cup final and there are lots of emotions. You see it in the end of the game."
"I would love to win the game, even with football that is not so beautiful."
We seem to be happening on penalties, with free Iniesta gets cooked feed from Cesc Fabregas and immediately launched a hard kick that can not be stopped that early commencement of a party for all the people of Spain.
This is a painful blow for the Dutch, who once hoped to erase bad memories while beaten finalists in 1974 and 1978.
"Losing in the finals in the last four minutes, leaving for you a very bitter taste," added van Marwijk. "Even with ten men I think there will be a round of penalty kicks."
However Marwijk admitted that Spain deserved to win, although it could have been thinking about what might happen if Arjen Robben managed to exploit one of two golden opportunities which he had in the second round.
At the first opportunity, Bayern Munich player's effort pushed over by the kick goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
"I am not someone who likes to look back what has been the referee did. I think the best team will win the game," said the Dutch coach.
"But if you look at the second opportunity Robben, the referee should give a second yellow card for Puyol, which would mean he would be expelled."
"It is an important moment before the end of time 90 minutes. It's very bitter, but this is sports. It's painful, but as I said, Spain is a better team."
