As a former players of the game and avid follower this is a sad day. However, i must say if I were to lose to anyone in this world cup final i am happy it was to a team that really needed the moral nationwide. They capatlized on their opportunities and we did not. Soccer is the only sport that you can outplay a team and lose 50 percent of the time. As we use to say its 30 percent skill 20 percent how well you play and 50 percent luck.
