Yeaaaaaah... I'm pretty much speechless. Obviously I'm devastated right now! I poured all of my emotions into that game! I could rant and rant about it but you've probably heard SO much analysis already. So I will not BORE you on what I think, except for this:
ROBBEN SHOULD HAVE SCORED ON HIS FIRST BREAKAWAY, AND PUYOL SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT OFF ON ROBBEN'S SECOND ONE! CASILLAS HAD THE LUCKIEST SAVE OF HIS LIFE, AND I WISH THAT ROBBEN KICKED THE BALL WITH AN INCREASED HEIGHT OF TWO INCHES.
There... I said it. That feels better! Spain got lucky yesterday, even though they are the best in the world at possessing the ball. The Dutch had to play physical in order to get the ball and mess up Spain's flow! Did you see de Jong's flying kick to Alonso's chest???! As if he didn't get sent off! Bah, okay, I just said that I wasn't going to analyze the game... I failed. I guess both sides had many opportunities which they should have capitilzed on, and Spain did when it counted! Though, what if van der Vaart didn't fall down on the initial played in ball??? What if...
This tournament was quite entertaining overall. I haven't had a favourite team in a championship final EVER in my life time, so just the experience was incredible! Can't wait for Brasil in 2014, hopefully the Dutch can pull it off there or at least within the decade; it'll happen, just hopefully in my life time! I hate waiting the whole 4 years. At least there's the Euro Cup in 2 years!
Alright, back to regular programming for Manuel's Life Lessons!
p.s. Is there any point in watching t.v. for the rest of the summer? Probs not.

Anyways, I went to 4Play Sports Bar downtown for the game and it was PACKED! So much fun (until Spain scored)! There were about 8 of us who were decked out in Dutch colours and kits; we were cheering as hard as we could. Probably the loudest in the massive place (at least the most passionate). We defs got people riled up! Good times.
