Who is the eighth World Cup champion?

479 views. 2010-7-9 11:14 |

South Africa is destined to create a brand new era in the world football history. In the ancient continent of Africa, Spanish football team and the Dutch football team made it through all the other rivals and came to the final.
 
As far as the two teams are concerned which have never had aspirations to the World Cup, no mater which team win, it will inevitably create a new history because it is the first time, in 32 years of the World Cup history, that no previous championship team hasn't participated in this final.
 
In the previous 18 World Cups, Brazil has won five times of all the cups, well-known so-called Five-star Brazil. Among the other cups, Italia has made it 4 times all the way to FIFA trophy, Germay has captured the title 3 times, Argentina and Uruguay each twice have been crowned with the victory, and England and France each have once held the belt of the World Cup.
 
Now the final has welcomed and ushered in the Netherlands and Spain, and destined to present the first eighth World Cup Champion.
 
Whether the Netherlands or Spain has the last laugh, the football world will see in a new era.

Heehee, as the saying goes: Opening a book is always beneficial. Whenever they win a champion, they will add a star to their jersey.

I love Dutch playing style of total football very much, especailly its representative figures such as Cruyff, Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, Kluivert, Robben and Sneijder, who are all my favorite super stars. And here I cordially wish you and your great motherland good luck.

By the way, I use Dutch here as adjective, but I'm very confused if it is acceptable here, and is the word Dutch really unpleasant and derogatory? I am not convinced of it. If really so, please forgive me I don't really want to do that.

Great minds think alike, and I have the same feelings. Good luck, Spain!

Haha, no, you use the word "Dutch"right. It's a normal word here. In fact, I have no idea what other words you could use here. Keep using it in this way. I'm actually surprised you are afraid I would be insulted. Can you explain that to me?

To left the official long name out, my country has two names: Holland and The Netherlands. People from my country are called "Dutch". My mother tongue is also called "Dutch".

It's probably because the English speaking people couldn't tell the difference between Germany and Holland. People from Germany (Deutschland, in German) call themself in German "Deutsch".  "Deutsch" and "Dutch" sounds almost the same...

Haha, thanks for your support!

Don't forget our great coaches. They are coaching many clubs all over the world as well as national teams. The most famous one is Guus Hiddink, who became 4th at the world championship of 2002 when he was coaching South Korea. He is currently the coach of the Russian national team.
