The World Cup is over. It's been a long month with a lot of soccer. The final game was painful to watch: slow, nervous, frustrating, with lots of fouls and bad refereeing. Of the two lousy teams, the better one won. What surprised me was how dirty the Dutch played. For example, take this karate kick of De Jong on Alonso, it was a classic red-card foul, but he got away with "only" a yellow, and lived to foul other players. At the end, the Dutch got what they deserved--they lost! Viva Espana!
P.S.
Just to prove I'm not the only one calling the Dutch team dirty, here's what one of their own--Holland legend Johan Cruyff--said about their finals game:
