The football World Cup is over - in New Zealand at least.

Last night New Zealand hosted its final World Cup game, at Eden Park, with the semi-final won in dramatic fashion, 2-1 by Spain over Sweden.

The second semi-final between Australia and England is in Sydney tonight with the final also in Sydney, on Sunday night.
