Well the feast of football that is the World Cup finals is over for another 4 years with Italy deserving their victory over the Zidane-less French after a penalty shoot-out. The 1st 90mins of the final summed up the competition as a whole I thought. Decent football but never quite achieving the high quality we were expecting. I cant really think of too many games that we'll still be talking about after the next WC.
For me there were too many disapointments - Brazil, Argentina, Czech Republic & Holland all underperformed while the likes Ronaldinho failed to live up the their pre-tournament billing. There was also very few newcomers grabbing their chance to shine on the biggest stage of all - Usually in a WC superstars are created by this year it was the established stars that were grabbing the headlines.
Best game - Either Argentina v Mexico or Italy v Germany
Best Goal - Maxi Rodriguez v Mexico
Here's to Euro 2008 and hopefully Scotland's chance to shine :)
