Once again, the big boys squared it out in the last four matches of the World Cup.
The Netherlands, Argentina, Germany and Brazil may not have been a majority’s favorite, but they booked their place in the semi-final and finals after annihilating their opponents, many of them who were much better.
Take the case of Netherlands and Brazil. They reached the World Cup after eliminating Costa Rica and Colombia, which For the Love of the Game believes ran out of luck in the tournament.
Costa Rica and Colombia, if you ask me, played far much better than their bigger opponents and deserved to star in the finals.
Take the case of Costa Rica. The little known team squeezed life out of Netherlands in the 120 minutes they played.
It took the ingenuity of the Netherlands coach to bring in a new goalkeeper to stop Costa Rica. The team is the World Cup champion many football fans deserved. It would have been a breath of fresh air if Costa Rica or Colombia had won the tournament.
Think about, what is new with the current World Cup champion. Nothing, if you ask me; same old stuff; the epitome of domination and status quo.
