At the MetLife Stadium on July 19, he scored Spain\u2019s only goal in a World Cup final win over Argentina and has been revelling in his new found fame through a number of media and public appearances in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>As well as throwing the first pitch out at Yankee Stadium, Ferran also used interviews on American television <a class=\"color-link\"
