World Cup 2010

what a shame! I realise I didnt record a post on the conclusion of South Africa World Cup 2010 after more than 2 weeks since the final.

A pretty good final I must say in terms of technicality. Spain plays with possession. You can't destroy a team without having possession of the ball. Holland and Germany on the other hand, were disappointments, who played so well before they played Spain. Holland especially, they played ugly to unsettle Spain, hoping to get a lucky goal and pack their defence. If they had played their beautiful soccer, what a final it would have been.

But I think soccer is going the way Spain is going. Little goals but a lot of passing. Not as exciting for a spectator looking for last minute goals and end to end action. Disappointment but that's what happens when so much money is at stake. Is not the coach who is the only one running the show now. Hopefull, EPL will still provide us with some excitement.

Some highlights of the World Cup

1. Irritating vuvuzulas

2. Disappointment for Cristiano Ronaldo & Wayne Rooney

3. Germany 4 goals demoliation of Australia, England & Argentina

4. Great goals by Forlan, van Bronckhurst & Tshabalala

5. The Octopus - unbeaten - same as New Zealand who was the only team that is unbeaten in the tournament.

6. Great performance for Forlan, considering that he was a failure at Man Utd who went on to win the Golden Ball award for SA WC 2010.

7. Spain 1-0 wins

8. Lack of Penalty Shoot-Outs

9. Lack of Goals

10. France's Disgrace

11. Englands disallowed goal against Germany

12. Waka Waka - Wavin' Flag
