Holland 0-1 Spain [and now back to life as we usually know it ...]

[As The Data Stream returns from its month-long soccer indulgence, we feature one last bit of World Cup media - a deft English salute to the ultimate game.]

Brick-by-brick fussball: World Cup Final: Holland 0-1 Spain

A recreation of the 2010 World Cup final "in which Spain kept all their pieces together despite dirty play from the Dutch" from the brilliant and sadder-but-wiser mates staffing the Guardian sports desk.

One of a suite of their riveting marriages of stop frame animation Legos and actual match audio.

WATCH  to relive the yellow cards held high – and Iniesta's ball finding the back of the net.

Link to all the videos, including a painful recreation of Rob Green's 'awful moment in the USA-England match, featured earlier on Goal 2010!.
