Well thats it guys..
That Bloke is teh winner
Kirby, Phryxus and Fi$hy all need to give him Rep
Apart from England very frustrating performances, this World cup has been fantastic. The minor countries all put in some great efforts against the big boys, and I do feel the divide between the top 10 countrys in the world is at its smallest ever. Anybody could have won it, but I dont begrudge Italy taking the honours.
Man of the tournament - Was undoubtably Zidane. He single handedly dragged a poor French team into the final.
Goal of the tournament - Not many to chose from, the Germans scored some fine goals, but my choice would be Joe Cole's amazing strike against Sweden
And finally..A mention for the host's Germany. From the guys I know who went over to watch match's, they were spot on with everything. Firm but fair policing, no over the top pricing, and fantastic stadia.
Looking forward to the next one...South Africa 2010
