Spain destroyed the Netherlands to Win the World Cup.........

.....Just kidding!

The cowardly* Spaniards defeated the emasculated Dutch this evening one to nothing to win the 2010 South Africa World Cup; and our allies across the world wonder why we Americans just hate Soccer, the worst game ever invented in human history.

1-0 in Soccer: Boring. 1-0 in Baseball: Thrilling. Speaking of Baseball, what does everyone think about the NL All-Star team this year?

Consider this the official post-World Cup bash Soccer Open Thread.

* - After the 2004 Madrid train bombings, the Spaniards surrendered to our common Islamist foes who murdered thousands of their citizens in a deliberate act of intimidation before Spain's national election that was just ten days away.

P.S. - For those who don't know, the National League hasn't won the MLB All-Star Game since 1996.

Strasburg Mania vs. World Cup Mania.

In this afternoon's baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the Cleveland Indians, Steven Strasburg, a much anticipated rookie starting pitcher, will be pitching in only his second career professional baseball game against the Cleveland Indians and also in his first nationally broadcasted performance as well.

Leaving us with one very important question this morning: Which game will had been watched by more American sports fans when the television ratings are released: Strasburg Mania on TBS at 1pm this afternoon, or World Cup Mania (Team USA vs. England), which took place yesterday afternoon?

If we were discussing the Olympic Games (regardless of location), the World Baseball Classic, or even the yearly NFL game hosted in London, England, and then I compared it's television rating to a single Major League Baseball game featuring the most talked about rookie pitcher in years, I would be called a loon.

But I'm talking about Soccer, which is about as popular in the United States as BP is or as disgusting French cheese. Now compare Soccer to Baseball; America's national past-time, as American as Ma and Apple Pie: and the popularity of Soccer falls even further - to US Congress levels on a good day!

I'll be watching Steven Strasburg in his start against the Cleveland Indians this afternoon, and if you're anything like me - World Cup Soccer, Team USA or otherwise, was not on your TV dial and I can almost guarantee that when the ratings are released Strasburg in Cleveland will slaughter Team USA in South Africa.
