The showpiece moment of the the biggest sporting event on the plant is finally here, and after a month of some of the most fantastic footballing events the final is here.
Whatever happens we will have a new winner as Spain and Holland, neither of who have won the Jules Rimet Trophy previously, will contest the final. As an additional incentive, the Golden Boot is also up for grabs, with David Villa or Wesley Sneijder the moist likely recipients.

Location background:
Soccer City, formerly known as the FNB Stadium, is a stadium located in the Soweto area of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is located next to the South African Football Association headquarters (SAFA House) where both the FIFA offices and the Local Organising Committee for the 2010 FIFA World Cup are housed.
A football-specific stadium, Soccer City is currently the largest stadium in Africa with a capacity of 94,700. Most of the largest football events in South Africa are played at Soccer City and the venue is better suited to these events than the Ellis Park Stadium, where the final for the Rugby World Cup in 1995 was held. Soweto and the National Exhibition Centre in Nasrec are nearby.
