Today was all about the World Cup final Championship game at 1pm between Spain and Argentina... Argentina boasts one of the best ever players, Leonel Messi, but they came against a superlative team that only gave up 1 (read ONE) goal the entire tournament...
It should not have been anywhere as close as the final score of 1-0 in overtime as Argentina had ZERO shots through about 100 minutes and Spain had umpteen shots right at the Argentine goalie...
Spain played exactly as I would have coached the team, maintaining offensive control along with a stifling defence that was a joy to watch.. Spain scored 2 other goals, one just inches offside, and the other called back on a very questionable call.
Donald Trump and Mark Carney were in attendance for the medal ceremonies. Mr Donald just turns my stomach!!!!
We had 2 distant cousins performing on the half-time show, Madonna and Justin Bieber, along with the Muppets and a whole lot of talent that I did not know....
Two teenage players shone for Spain, and one won the Player Of The Game award.
Every soccer coach needs to review every match played by Spain this World Cup to learn how to pass and control the play. They put on a coaching clinic every single game and were fully deserving of winning the Cup!
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
