The WorldBeaters

Good job to Spain for winning a tough, gritty championship game.  It wasn't the most beautiful game, but a win is a win and thats all that counts.  Andres Iniesta's goal in extra time sent the streets of Madrid into a frenzy and put the Red Fury into the record books.

Let me start off by saying that the way Spain played against Germany in the semi-final game was wonderful.  Yep wonderful.  It was the best ball handling I've seen by any team thus far.  I don't even remember Germany ever having the ball.  Germany could not set up their vaunted counter-attacked because Spain just passed the ball around and attacked the German goalie from distance and from up close.  Spain finally broke through the German defense with a header in the 73rd minute.  Germany could never really recover or build any momentum and lost 1-0.  On to the preview!

Hi All, Welcome to the WorldBeaters Sports Blog. This blog will contain my ramblings on sports and other subjects, but mostly sports. Enough with the formalities lets just dive in shall we? I'm still a little sad that Team USA was bounced out of the World Cup. I thought they would at least make it to the round of 8. Oh well. They had a good showing and we should all be proud. Look out world the Yanks are coming! See ya in four years. With that said, I think Brazil will take the cup back to Sao Paulo. I predict a Brazil-Argentina final. Both teams have looked really good, and Argentina has made it this far without the dominance of Messi. He's played well but I'm really surprised by some of their other players. But Brazil will win for know other reason that they have a player on their team named Kaka. Best name in the World Cup easily. I must admit that even though I am not the biggest soccer fan in the world, watching the World Cup has been a pleasant surprise ...
