It really is the ball's fault

 

NASA tests the jabulani ball and finds that it's flight becomes unpredictable above 44 mph.

Outstanding.

Germany/Netherlands would be so, so epic.

Either would have a great draw for a Cup final that hasn't been seen in recent memory. Either someone's winning it for the first time, or two hated rivals go at it.

 

FWIW, the Dutch desperately want to win it against Germany. 8-)

 

I think the Dutch would be happy with a win over the Jamaican Bobsled Team to win the World Cup.

Pedro in for Fernando Torres for Spain.

Klinsmann just gets it.

Good article. I would still like him as a replacement for Bradley.

Would MLS go for his approach?

Spain look like the better side, but they need someone other than Villa to step up. Guessing Torres will come in for Pedro early in the 2nd half.

They do (and are). But if there's one side that has a knack for winning despite such circumstances, it's the Germans.

Awful German defense there. How do you fail to clear the ball in that situation?

[Guest]

Spain is owning the second half.

Spain is owning the second half.

yeah, Spain's got to score eventually. The Germans need to pounce on a counter for them to have a chance to take the lead.

[Guest]

Long overdue goal - Spain definitely earned that one.

Pedro afflicted with Robben's anti-shoot syndrome on that run.

Choker bowl 2010 Sunday!

[wvcbxl]

Very interesting game, won by the most deserving team.

[Guest]

Spain 2, Netherlands 1 on Sunday.

It's hilarious how much shorter the Spanish team is than the Germans.

Hilarious? Or Hitler's plan all along?

I am pretty sure I saw Puyol in one of the Emmanuel movies in the 70's.
