Well, ¡Viva España! The Spanish national team won the FIFA World Cup today by beating the Netherlands, 1-0, and we bid this worldwide event farewell until 2014. The World Cup is fun enough while it lasts, but I've never been able to become a fan of televised soccer. No connection with the energy of the crowd, and the game itself doesn't become magical simply because I can see it close-up via the camera.
So must we wait until 2014 to watch a sport that is supposed to be non-contact but couldn't be any less so if its name included the phrase "Greco-Roman," features ridiculous overacting regarding supposed injurious fouls and horrible officiating that can in seconds literally ruin the best efforts of some of the hardest-working athletes around?
Nope. The NBA starts in October.
