Spanish Lesson

The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa is over, and the big trophy is going to Spain.

Paul the Octopus was right...and he can breathe easy – he won’t be paellad.

The Spanish team won its first World Cup late in nail-biting overtime when midfielder Andres Iniesta scored a goal that put his countrymen ahead of the Dutch in the final at Soccer City.

All and all, it was a pretty lame-o game – I mean, when mimosas hold your attention more you know the excitement isn’t on the field.

All in all, though, the tournament brought the world together for a month, for the most past, brought out the sexy, gave us vuvuzelas, made us “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” and made a star out of a tentacled oracle (is he doing personal consultations?).
