Final Score - Spain 1 Germany 0

A great game by both teams! The level of play, both from a team and an individual standpoint, was far superior to that exhibited by the USA, IMO. Did y'all notice how both teams kept their front line spread and played the whole field instead of bunching up in front of the goal? That is not only skill, it is also discipline and patience and it is one of the hardest things to teach young players.

Awful game - FIFA had better start cleaning up that sport of all its shenanigans.

Andy, I think I agree with you as far as the shenanigans are concerned. One high kick to the chest should've had an immediate red card. Additionally, I didn't think all of the holding, hair pulling and eye gouging, etc. was allowed but apparently that is the way the game is played on this level? Oh well, I enjoyed what I saw of the Cup. Perhaps, I'll still be around in 2014 to see the next World's Cup?

FWIW, we watched Invictus last night. That was a nice "feel good" movie about another World Cup in your former part of the blue planet.

SALUT!
