Third Time, But No Lucky Charm

If you wonder what it feels like to lose three World Cup finals and, most importantly, the LAST World Cup final ever, go ahead and ask the Dutch. They did put on a wonderful display of kick-boxingFatality!, though, something we hadn't seen in almost 4 years"Prendere questa, mascalzone!".

The match was rather unimpressive, with only a few incredible chances missed by Dutch striker Arjen Robben"I missed! I missed! Mama will be so proud of me!", an example of how you can go from zero to...well, zero, since only goal scorers achieve the hero status. Bummer.

The only notable events were the occasional physical interventions and, more preeminently, Jimmy Jump's attemptYeah, that's right, put that anti-racism jerk down to the ground. to hide that horrible, horrible FIFA trophy underneath one of his trademark red hats. A heroic deed"I'm Jesus", were it to succeed, for only a few trophies resemble something a caveman would use for a club. As always, bad taste prevailed and he was stopped within inches from achieving his goal. What a shame.

So there we have it - a controversial World Cup edition draws to an end, as Spain becomes the last sucker* champion of the world.
