Dont bother watching it.
We all witnessed the final before the final - Argentina vs Germany.
It showed what this great game is all about - the beauty, the passion, the celebration -
argentina's one touch passing (simply wonderful), german resilience,grit,fearlessness, Pekerman's nervous blunder turning a game well and truly in his pocket, the fearless fighter in Ballack, the fist fight at the end - it was vintage 'world cup'.
The only sad part was the exit of Argentina :-(...favourites turned chokers!
Was part of an orkut community named '2006 Champions - Argentina', after the game friday night it was promptly renamed as '2010 Champions - Argentina'
-- as they say the hope will live on.
and all this talk about - they play the best football, they peaked too early, they are a bunch of old men, they are unplayable - its all bullcrap - there is only one winner at the end of it all and they are all that matter.
this man above has been, for me the symbol of this world cup -
skill, grit, determination and instinct.
Thank the lord he's playing for Chelsea next season :)

Ballack maybe a symbol...but dont you dare forget the old legs that rose from the pheonix of retirement to rescue this farce of a world cup....the man who stood tall to defy the skilled brazillians, ..the man who denyed the inspired spanish...the man who will prove beyond all doubt that 98' was no fluke....ZiZu is God...
It is not all about flamboyance...or skill...football is a game of the mind too...the Argentinians were weak, the moment they sat back and decided to play a shutter down game after scoring the first goal...they had lost it...they kept the fast legs of messi out....and brought in defenders...they stopped deserving to win right then...
Italy play the safe game...if you cant penetrate their defence...then there is no joy or pride in calling urself a world champion team...Germany could not manage it...so bye bye
Brazillian thought they can turn up and win...well the Ronoldos and dhinhos have their clubs to go back to...
The frech ...have for me stood out...God Zizu,....relentlessly proding Henry...the untiring Riberry...Inspiring Viera,...Safe hands Barthez, ...under-rated Malhouda....
Never write of anybody...thats the message.
i say 'go portugal go'
