		<description><![CDATA[Spain became the eighth national team to win the World Cup, beating Holland 1-0 in what was, in my opinion, a very poor final. Both teams came into the game playing some great football, but much of it was missing tonight, understandably due to nerves on both sides. Andres Iniesta&#8217;s goal, four minutes from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just when many of us thought that the World Cup couldn&#8217;t get any better, it did. Excitement, goals, shocks and a dramatic penalty shoot-out has ignited the tournament after a slow start. South America&#8217;s big two went out with a whimper. Brazil, one of the pre-tournament favourites, were beaten 1-2 by Holland. Argentina were thrashed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Nigerians have a much simpler way of dealing with their early World Cup exit&#8230; withdraw the national team from playing competitively for two years. The surprise decision was made by the country&#8217;s president, Goodluck Jonathan. Their existing football federation was disbanded, and a new board will be put in place in order to shake-up [...]]]></description>

A great match in prospect between arguably one the greatest rivalries in world football. Unfortunately, whenever these teams are paired up, the banter is routinely reduced to bigoted chanting. In England, the match is constantly used as an [...]]]></description>

Who would&#8217;ve thought that fancied teams like France and Italy crash out of the World Cup, while England, who many pundits predicted was certain to be the first team going home, beat Slovenia 1-0, and finishing second in Group C to the United States, who beat Algeria [...]]]></description>
