It's Spain's world, the rest of us are all just living in it. Saturday in the Confederations Cup, Spain dispatched hosing South Africa 2-0 on goals from David Villa and Fernando Llorente.

The win extended Spain's unbeaten run to an astounding 35 games, which ties the all time mark set by Brazil in the early 1990s. Perhaps even more impressive is that Spain has won its last 15 matches during the streak to set a world record there as well. Nobody is even close to Spain's level, although they haven't exactly played the world's toughest team's yet in this tournament.

If you just look quickly at Spain's 1-0 victory over Iraq Wednesday in Confederations Cup play, it might seem like a letdown after the European's champ's 5-0 crunching of New Zealand over the weekend.

Yet, when you're on the roll like the Spanish National Team has been on for the last three years, all the victories tend to blend into one. More importantly, Wednesday's win pushed the country one shy of matching Brazil's all-time unbeaten run of 35 games.

After another trophy-less season, the natives are getting restless at Arsenal. That said, it seems the Gunners will still have longtime manager Arsene Wenger calling the shots as the Frenchman dismissed a rumored move to Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Wenger caught some heat at the latest shareholders meeting and the rumor-mongering Spanish media apparently attempted to create a link between the coach and the Madrid superclub, especially if Florentino Perez -- the architect of the Galaticos era is re-elected as Real president.

Is it possible Sir Alex Ferguson pressed one of those annoying Staples buttons in the dressing room before Tuesday's UEFA Champions League semifinal second leg against Arsenal because, boy, that sure looked easy. Almost too easy, as the Red Devils strolled to a 3-1 win and 4-1 on aggregate and move onto the final in Rome with the chance to defend their trophy from last season.

It's shaping up to be a pretty good day for Arsenal supporters.

For starters, Emmanuel Adebayor, the Gunners' leading scorer last season, has decided to let the world know he's not some Machiavellian egomaniac whose only goals in life are to stay in the media spotlight and break the world record for highest transfer fee. He did that with four words: "I'm staying at Arsenal."

AC Milan was ready to make an offer for Adebayor, but why would he go there? They're not even in the Champions League.

Another Arsenal star, Cesc Fabregas, is having a good day, too. The 21-year-old midfielder is slated to start in Sunday's EURO 2008 Final against Germany after David Villa, the tournament's leading scorer, was ruled out with a thigh injury. Fabregas earned this start after replacing Villa in the semifinal against Russia and setting up two of Spain's three goals in the second half.

Finally, this news should give you Gunners a laugh. German Goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has vowed to use the EURO 2008 Final to show Arsene Wenger what a mistake he made by benching him. This, of course, comes just two days after this:
