The World Cup is over...

The World Cup is over for another four years. The biggest sporting event came to a close yesterday and Spain are now the world champions. I really don't think theres much you can say other than Spain deserved it. Their one-touch football was sensational, each player's individual skill level was through the roof and their composure was unbelievable. What I particularly loved was how the question of who was Spain's player was so debatable. Theres was no player who had a Kobe-Bryant-Like-Role, you know... there was no player that you could pick as the best. An opposing fan couldn't say after his team loses "oh you couldn't have done it with out Alonso!"

Every aspect of Spain's infrastructure was world class. From Iker Cassillas being like a wall between the two goal posts, humiliating any striker that tried to out-wit him; to David Villa, Spain's primary source of goals who was nothing short of a magician when the ball was at his feet. Not to mention Spain's midfield, you have the choice to use the likes of the experienced Xabi Alonso, the king pin that held the whole formation of Spain together. Or you can turn to the bench and use Spain's future legend(that's if he's not already considered one already), that is Cesc Fabregas, the more inquisitive and creative player who can seem to miraculously create chances out of situations were no other player can.

All in all, despite Spain's loss to the Swiss in the very first game they played, there was no excuse for them lose any of the games they played, what with all the skill they had offer, and full credit to the coach for utilizing all the talent and skill he had at his disposal. Let's see what they can do in four more years.
