After all the hoopla about Germany, Argentina and Brazil, who would have guessed that the FIFA World Cup would end up like this:
Champions: Spain
Runner-up: The Netherlands
3rd Place: Germany
4th Place: Uruguay
Golden Ball Award: Diego Forlan
Golden Shoe Award: Thomas Mueller (why don't they call it Golden Boot, I don't know!)
Young Player Award: Thomas Mueller
Golden Gloves Award: Iker Casillas
I got my predictions wrong due to the awesome display of grit and termination by the Uruguayans, and the blitzkrieg attacking approach of the Germans. But the surprises made it a better tournament as it became so unpredictable, only an octopus would have had half a chance in predicting it right!
Well Paul, you really earned your spot in the limelight. Let's hope you'll be around come the Euros : )
