... it is now. Just one last blog on the World Cup. It wasn't the final we were hoping for. It rarely is. In fact, we watched the Germany vs. Uruguay play off the previous night and it's a pity it wasn't the real final. Forlan, Özil, Müller - these have been the real stars of the tournament.
I set out hoping for a good game and not minding who won. I have enjoyed watching both Spain and The Netherlands although neither have sparkled in these finals as they did at Euro 2008. However, after half an hour it had to be Spain. The Dutch hard-man tactics were unforgivable and the boot in the chest that Xabi Alonso received was more a criminal offence than a red-card one. However, that was the only thing I'd really criticise Howard Webb for - he made the best of a bad lot.
So, as Porky Pig used to say, "th-th-th-that's all folks!"

I see Paul got both the third-fourth and the Final correct. The third-fourth game was destined to be better football because it doesn't really matter of you come third or fourth so both teams could go out and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThe Final felt a bit like watching a Swansea City game - lots of pretty passing and moving but bugger all goals - I guess that's the Iberian influence of the last two Swans managers.
