World Cup: It's Finally Over

Well another World Cup has come and gone, with Spain taking the crown.  Didn't get to watch, as I was flying today.
Was a little surprised to see the five yellow cards in the first half, but then saw the flying karate kick to Alonso's chest and then understood why. 

I've always said that your best game was your last game.  Many times in the NCAA Basketball tournament a team will put up incredible numbers during a game and then lose the next match.  I think the World Cup is the same.  It truly is the survival of the fittest.
I don't think many are surprised that Spain made it to the final match and won.  Maybe after their loss (they become the first team to lose their first match and win the Cup) people were doubting their high ranking, but they pulled it together when they had to.
I'll admit that I was pulling for the Netherlands.  I'm not a big fan of the Spanish team but they did win fair and square.
Now poor Cristiano will have to listen to his teammates brag about their WC medals.  Of course that's ALL they have to brag about, because their club team is...manure.

I'm so happy that the club season will be starting soon so we can get back to sanity!

FIFA came out yesterday and made a ridiculous statement:  The referees for the WC were a "big success."

I'll let you ponder that...
