Got What I Wanted!

Finally Spain and the Dutch for the Wold Cup and neither has ever won before! That should be a great game.

The Final Four

Well, the Dutch did it, and yet Argentina fell to the German juggernaut. That leaves:

Germany vs Spain
Uruguay vs Netherlands

Neither the Dutch nor the Spanish have ever won the cup. Uruguay hasn't won since 1950, back when they were a world power of football. I'd love to see a non-German team win it all, and that means either a Spanish win, or a win by the winner of the Uruguay/Netherlands game.

After this weekend,Germany and Holland have to be the favorites in their respective games. Spain barely beat Paraguay and Germany trounced Argentina after eviscerating England, so Germany has to be the favorite over Spain despite Spain defeating it in the Euro 2008 finals. The Netherlands defeated juggernaut Brazil, and Uruguay barely beat Ghana.


Obviously, I'd like to see a Spain victory in the semis, but I doubt it will be. I think the favorites are really favorite for obvious reasons, and then we have an all Europe final. We are about to have our first European winner in a World Cup held outside of Europe.
