Watched the Football World Cup in the comfort of a well heated lounge in New Plymouth Monday morning accompanied by wife, daughter, s-i-l, grandson, and a very large German Shepherd named Druss.
Spain deserved to win; for two reasons.
First they were the better team, primarily because their level of ball control both in the semi-final and final was superior to the opponents.
Second, they were less prone to the more insidious tendencies in the game. Whether this was because of their skills or not is moot (but not here).
All Blacks beat the Springboks on Saturday night. Not only unexpected, but a hearty thumping to boot; 32-12. Ahhh, the deja vu of history. NZ will not win the Rugby World Cup next year.
