A World Cup Defined By Penalties

As much as the world cup has been exciting, and good to watch, it is hard not to be disappointed to see Italy win the World Cup in a penalty shoot-out. The nation who had already had a significant amount of luck with the “Elfmeter” mark, who it was very hard to feel had deserved to be there, to then go through off the back of a shoot-out.

The Italians only really played one game that made you think they might deserve to win the golden orb: their win over Germany was a brilliant game to watch, although disappointing to see the Germans go out in such a tight game. It it a funny game, and like life in general, there’s not always a lot of justice. But it’s over, and with no Wimbledon on either, it should be easier to get some sleep now.
