And I can guess how rugby was invented. Some English people
were involved in a similar game and one of them finally said:
“Bugger this—I’m running with the ball.”

Now that the “world” cup has ended, can we stop this “one world-global” game BS because Americans dont care about it in the 1st place?

...I thought the officials favored Spain enough to decide the match...

I don't know about that. The ref could have and should have red carded de Jong for kicking Alonzo in the chest.

Webb, the English ref, is a very good ref and I'm betting he didn't want to decide the match at that point, which it probably would have.

Its not like it was the Super Bowl or anything. Soccer is baseball w/o the scoring.

Soccer is for kids who can’t hit the ball.

Too many fouls and too many dives.

But one very nice goal.

Congrats Spain!

Better luck next time Holland.

I think it will be a sad day when the US becomes a soccer power house. Being good at soccer would be like being good at dancing around the may pole.

The important thing is - it’s finally over

In the NFL 3-0 games are extremely rare.........1-0 games in soccer are par for the course.

I don’t know, I am not a fan but we were invited to a party today to watch the game with a group of Dutch friends (real from Holland Dutch). We declined but I know they are blubbering in their beer right now.

As much as I love the game, I do hate that part of it.

I thought I was the only one who was totally irritated by that ‘swarm of bees’. (Glad it wasn’t just my tv!)

I agree w/all comments but also feel that the shooting is pathetic. So many kicks and head bumps went wide or over the goal. Just terrible.

The only goal came after the full 90 minute game time, and after the first 11 or 15 minute extra time and near the end of the second and last extra time. Just before the stupid penalty kicks would have decided it. The only good thing would be haircuts are getting shorter for soccer players (except a few clowns who did not get the memo.)

P.S. That photo of Obama proves he’s someone’s buttboy
