Weekly Round Up – World Cup Finals!

by Ray on July 9, 2010 · 7 comments

After one month of great football and over 60 games we are reaching the finals of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, and history will be made on Sunday July 11th. We will finally have a new World Champion either Netherlands or Spain will win their first ever word cup. Although a little disappointed that we (Germany) will most likely have to settle for the third place for the second year in a row, I am happy to see a new world champion. I think South Africa did an excellent job with this years World Cup and there were some definite memorable moments. Looking forward to 2014 in Brazil!
