A million jubilant Spain supporters are expected to greet their heroes on Monday in Madrid as the World Cup winners return home after clinching their second star. Spain's 1-0 victory over Argentina in New Jersey on Sunday, secured by a Ferran Torres strike in extra-time, has sparked an outpouring of national pride in the football-mad country, whose only other World Cup triumph came in 2010. Coach Luis de la Fuente and his squad are due to land in Madrid with a delay of more than an hour after the original expected arrival time of 12:50pm (1050 GMT).
