The Ugly Game

Okay, I'm a sore loser, so what? I still think it'd be better for everyone--with the exception of the Dutch fans--if Brazil won the World Cup quarterfinal. It would be better for the sport and for the millions of fans who appreciate the beautiful game. The Dutch are the antithesis of beautiful-- they didn't only play ugly, they even looked ugly. Yet, they won over playful, wonderful-to-watch Brazil. Time to consider changing the slogan for soccer into "the ugly game".

As for Brazil--thanks for the memories, guys, it was fun while it lasted. We'll miss your game and everything that comes with it!
