Blundering bosses at CBS News have accidentally published a article claiming Holland won the World Cup final against Spain.

The article entitled 'The Netherlands Win World Cup' looks like it was written in advance of the big game - where Spain won by one goal after extra time.

It started off by saying "The Netherlands wins first World Cup and ends 22-year streak without a title of any kind." before giving a more detailed account of the game.

Spaces had been left in the copy to enter correct details, such as where it said "The Netherlands defeated Spain by a score of SCORE to SCORE to win its first World Cup title."

CBS have now corrected the article to tell of a Spain win… though being football coverage most American readers will have either not noticed, or not cared.
