This is my most watched world cup. I watched all most all the games. i might have slept during one match that i can remember.Matches were at my time during the night which was helpful. And Internet also helped keeping interest in this world cup going. Loved the guardian world cup daily podcast and twitter comments.My team all through the tournament was Spain. I am real madrid supporter so that was a natural choice. Argentina looked like they could upset Spain’s plan. But that didn’t happen, surprisingly i was never worried about Brazil.Germany looked stunning beating Argentina, but Spain made them look really bad. That semi final between Spain and Germany was wonderful to see. But the best match of the tournament goes to the third place match between Germany and Uruguay. What a match till the last minute it could have gone either way.Best player for me was Xavi of spain, it looked like no one could take ball away from him. He controlled the game against germany so well. The whole mid field of spain was wonderful. He showed  the brilliance of Zidane in this world cup.Fifa’s website was the one i visited most this world cup not for the news. But for the games, FIFA WORLD CUP FANTASY & World Cup Predictor. These games kept me interested and made me check the fifa.com all through out the world cup.Check out my score from both the games.FIFA WORLD CUP FANTASY out of 496619 players i came 32389 that means i am in the top 6.5%World Cup Predictor out of 909029 players i came 37531 that means i am in the top 4%Here are the numbers from this world cup. pretty interesting that spain players dominate three stats.All in all a wonderful world cup, i would have enjoyed more if there were more goals.
