We're gonna get a lotta heat for this, but ...
... Soccer blows!
120 minutes of play ... Two goals -- which, granted, far exceeds the over/under of 0 we'd predicted -- and EIGHT shots on goal.
Sorry, Rest of the World: Most Americans like sports where stuff ACTUALLY HAPPENS. It's tough to make BASEBALL look action packed, but soccer pulls it off.
To make matters worse, the championship of the football world is settled by -- PENALTY KICKS! As unfair as this is to the players who've given their blood and guts to get to this point, we understand the rationale: They could play all night and it's unlikely anyone would score.
On the bright side, it is nice to see the Saddam coddling, violent-Muslim-youth tolerating French lose in such a bitter manner.
We fully expect to receive more grief for this than for our constant mocking of the notion that "Islam is a religion of peace".
