The Final Countdown


So it all comes down to this. After the greatest World Cup in history, we have the two best teams left standing. Who's gonna win it? My bet is still with Spain. They are clearly the better team; as evidenced by their comprehensive 2-0 victory over previous favorites France. They seem to execute a controlled composure over the game; as befits their DNA and their academy principles of talent. patience and possession.

Argentina have been somewhat lucky over the past 4 rounds; requiring a near superhuman effort against Cape Verde; 3 fantastical goals in 11 minutes against Egypt; extra-time brilliance against Switzerland and yet another last-ditch effort against England. Surely that luck has to run out some time. With Messi and their passionate team; you can't quite count them out. But I just have this feeling that Spain will have too much for them.
