Spain won the World Cup after beating Argentina in a match which ended in extra time. Over a million fans came to the streets of Madrid to see their football heroes during a big parade.

Experts say Spain deserved to win because the team worked together very well and played great football throughout the tournament. The big final match in America had an unusual halftime show with famous stars, similar to the Super Bowl. Important leaders like Donald Trump were also at the game.

This World Cup was the most expensive and profitable in history. Some tickets sold for 100,000 dollars. People believe this tournament changed football forever because it brought American business ideas into the sport.

Difficult words: extra time (more time at the end of a match when there is no winner), hero (a person who many people admire for what they did or how brave they are), profitable (when something makes good money).
