Didn't any of you see this coming? Spain only lost two games since they won the 2008 European Championship and still have the same team intact. I think.

This is a game even I'm going to watch.

I couldn't believe that the Germans were the same team that pummeled England and Argentina. The Spaniards made them look like a third rate team :eek:

Its going to be the best final in a looong time. GO SPAIN!!!

There's this Mexican at my gym. Chico. I wish I spoke Spanish as well as he speaks English.

At first he was for Brazil. Then Argentina, then Uruguay then Paraguay, just to keep it in the Western Hemisphere.

Now, he just shrugs and says "viva Espana, I guess". He says his esposa early on called it Spain in the finals so, score one for her.

This will be my big chance to see if seeing the world's best square off doesn't put me to sleep.

I guess that soccer in the USA is boring because you don't have any good player. In Spain we have the best leage in the World so it is pretty exciting. Try to watch the games of the Real Madrid Vs Barcelona Teams, They are amazing.
There's something just plain wrong about a game where you can't use your hands. I play basketball, used to be a star ultimate frisbee player (a legend in my own mind, let's say). It's not the athleticism of the players involved, it's just the game itself. Sorry.

Spain, Italy and England have equally good leagues IMHO in terms of the best teams. But the English league is by far and away the most exciting, fastest pace, the most physical and is devoid of diving and play acting unlike the Spanish and Italian leagues. As for the WC final Spain play pretty football but lack a cutting edge but they really pressed Germany hard and stopped them playing in the semi. I think they will win 1-0 again.
