Germany Gets Its Kicks
The World Cup is finally over. Germany won. The score was One to Nil. Yep. Not a whole lot of scoring in this one.
The Germans always win. At least it seems like it. Or Brazil wins. Or Italy wins. Or Argentina.
There are over 200 countries in the world playing soccer and wishing they could be World Cup champions. Over a billion fans watch this event. But only four countries account for 15 of the championships won out of the 20 World Cup events ever staged. That’s 75 per cent! I repeat, that’s FOUR teams winning three quarters of all the championships of a sport in an 80 year time span. Four!!!!
Is it really drama when you pretty much know who’s gonna win the championship nearly every time they stage this event? Why do a billion soccer fans get so excited when it’s ALWAYS won by the same couple of teams?
Anyway, the World Cup is over. A million Germans are celebrating in the streets over their great soccer triumph. I sure am glad they are celebrating THIS kind of thing instead of (cough – Nazi regime goose stepping – cough) what they celebrated (cough – that guy with the mustache starting World War II – cough) about 75 years ago.
