Johannesburg:
Nearly a month, 62 matches and tens of thousands of vuvuzela bleats
later, the World Cup is down to two title contenders: Spain and the
Netherlands will meet in Sunday's final at Soccer City.
Spain's veteran central defender Carles Puyol soared high in the
73rd minute from a corner to head into the German net after a tight,
technical and gripping game. Puyol's goal was the only one of the
match against a Germany team that could not sweep aside its
opponents as it had done with previous opponents.
The Netherlands booked its final spot a day earlier with a 3-2 win
over Uruguay at Cape Town.
With 28 of the original 32 teams now out of South Africa — Uruguay
and Germany will play in Saturday's third-place match at Port
Elizabeth — the 19th edition of the World Cup is down to two
glamorous European sides each trying to win the title for the first
time.
Spain has struggled throughout the World Cup but found its
confidence in Durban, playing an intricate, short passing game that
eventually ground down the Germany midfield.
Several planeloads of football fans headed for the match were forced
to turn back from Durban's King Shaka international airport, forcing
the fans to miss the match.
Two planes from Johannesburg and one from Cape Town were refused
permission to land after the airport was swamped by arrivals,
spokesman Colin Naidoo said.
He said the problem was caused by the large numbers of supporters
arriving at the airport for the World Cup semifinal.
FIFA said Wednesday it had not decided who will present the World
Cup trophy to the winning captain. Former South Africa president
Nelson Mandela is expected to do the honors if the 91-year-old
anti-apartheid legend is well enough to attend the match.
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is expected to attend Sunday's
final, one of 14 heads of state planning to be there.
The 86-year-old Mugabe, who has been in power since 1980, has been
accused of human rights abuses and of running a campaign of
political violence in the country. His presence has already garnered
complaints from rights groups.
An official with South Africa's foreign ministry said leaders from
Kenya, Swaziland and Burundi will be in the stands, as well as
Lesotho's King Letsie and King Mswati of Swaziland.
On Wednesday, organizers promised a high-tech closing ceremony
featuring pop star Shakira, compared to the more traditionally
African ceremony which opened the tournament on June 10.
The Colombian pop star will start strutting her stuff about two
hours before the final, which is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. in
Johannesburg (1830 GMT).
By the time the world champion is decided, a British tabloid
journalist arrested and charged after a fan appeared in the England
team's dressing room after a World Cup game could know his fate.
Simon Wright of the Sunday Mirror appeared in court Wednesday and
will face charges of attempting to defeat the ends of justice and
breaching a contravention of the Immigration Act in a two-day
hearing Saturday and Sunday.
Police said Wright was involved in an “orchestrated” attempt to
undermine World Cup security after Pavlos Joseph found his way into
England's changing room and confronted injured England star David
Beckham at Cape Town on June 18.
A British bookmaker said it was offering even odds that Paul the
Octopus, who has guessed all of Germany's results correctly so far,
including Wednesday's defeat, will pick the winner of the final.
