Spain: The Octopus Was Right, I Was Wrong

Image via Wikipedia

Spain won. They dominated the game in the beginning, in the middle, and the end. And they won. They scored one goal and they won. This Spain-Germany game was the best game I have watched so far during World Cup 2010. There was no need for one superstar to emerge. These were two great teams that went for it. It was quite a display. What a game.

I started out rooting for Brazil and Argentina. (Brazil And Argentina: My Choices And Those Of My Favorite Actor) Both got wiped out. Then I threw my weight behind Germany. Germany got wiped out today. (The Germans Called Me Robin Hood) And so I have decided not to take sides for the World Cup Final. I will let The Octopus take a go at it.
