Spain beats Netherlands 1-0 to win the World Cup. Spain's Cesc Fabregas puts Iniesta through in the box and his low shot beats Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg for the game's only goal.
“...boring and will never be popular in US.”

Don’t be too sure of that after the amnesty for illegals becomes the law. It’s a very popular sport in Kenya, too.
Heh... Well, yea, but it is a decent sport...just not very interesting to us. Don’t really want to pull politics into this game though...
Yeah... I’m afraid people will put their faith on octopus, parrot, etc., and not on the Lord.
I agree. Rather than go to a video replay system they should just add two more linesmen which would cover all four quadrants of the field.
Most calls that are missed are due to the ref/linesman being blocked from view.
Who did He pick?
You didn’t really just say that. Right?
Exactly right. In American sports like baseball and football, the teams move methodically and logically toward a goal. In soccer, OTOH, players run around in circles for 90 minutes until a fluke play determines the game. What a perfect metaphor for socialism.
Must be photo-shopped! It gives him tooooo much credit! ;-)

Definitely.
The Dutch should have been playing a man down since the kick to the midsection of Pique in the first half. That should have been a straight red on Holland.
Didn’t Paul the octopus pick Spain???
If you take a closer look at the NFL, NBA, etc. you see "Los Suns" shirts being worn by an NBA team, owners (example Mark Cuban) being left-wing idealogues, baseball teams holding "African-American", "Dominican", even "gay" days, you have Stanley Cup winners parading the cup in a "gay-pride" parade, you have NFL owners denying Rush Limbaugh part ownership of a team, etc.
Even most sports announcers or sports reporters that report on the big three American sports are left-wing, if not outright radicals. Look at Keith Olbermann as an example.
Pretty good record.
Did you notice the Dutch coach immediately take off his silver medal after it was awarded? I thought that was pretty low class.
HaHa!! Good one! OK, when does the NFL season begin?
Great to see Spain win with real Spanish players....some of the other European countries (e.g. France) have bought into the “black athletes are superior” myth and field teams that don’t look European at all......the French/African team went home early....so much for superiority.
