After being fortunate enough to have covered 13 games at this World Cup I am off to hang with the fans for one great last night of camaraderie, drinks, and of course, plenty of World Cup banter. Not a bad way to end it all.
Congratulations to Germany for finishing third at the FIFA World Cup. In the so-called “bronze medal” game they held sway over Uruguay. Except there are no medals, and there is no point.
Not only did La Roja’s 1-0 victory over the Germans send them through to Sunday’s final against the Netherlands in Johannesburg, but it also ensures that we will see a new name etched on the World Cup trophy.
