Well, after a few weeks of less than thrilling games of 1-1, or 0-0 ties we got to the semi-final matches of the Football (Soccer) World Cup which were way more exciting. With more on the line and a sudden death elimination game at stake the teams played very different games than they tended to play in the early days of the tournament.
Now we’re down to the final weekend with the third and fourth place finish game to
be played on Saturday (Uruguay vs. Germany) and the final match to be played on Sunday between the Netherlands and Spain. Neither team has won the World Cup before so it will be exciting to see either team win.
I’ll be watching the game with a number of Dutch friends so although Elizabeth and I love Spain and our memories of our time there I’ll likely be cheering for the Dutch team. Both teams have played very good games to get them to this point though.
What are your thoughts on who might take first, second and third positions?

Plenty to like about both teams.
In my case it boils down to where your roots are. Go Netherlands!!
