So the World Cup is over. We can return to our normal lives and recall how crappy the economy is, how bad the BP oil spill is and remember that there are still people with bombs who want to wipe us off the planet so that they can get their cheese.
The final game was a little lacklustre for many. Nothing really happened in the regulation 90 minutes except for the immense number of yellow cards. The ref seems to keep all the action for himself. Someone commented that it was like an S-League game. Personally and many also will agree, the ref made some not so good decisions and seems to show a little bias. Well, it's over and the Dutch cry loser's tears.
The 3rd place playoffs between Germany and Uruguay was scintillating compared to the finals with both teams making great goals and awesome plays. Even the final shot of the match was a cracker Forlan attempt that rattled the crossbar and almost, almost sent the whole game into extra time. What a moment that would have been. And who knew he could play after his poor showing in Man U colours. Maybe it's age. His piece de resistance didn't happen, thank God, and Germany took 3rd spot.
Next, we await Euro 2012 which promises to exciting if Spain, Holland and Germany have anything to do about it.
The next World Cup is in Brazil and promises to be a mess for those in this timezone. Matches at 5am, goodness.
