World Cup 2010 Who would have thought when this thing began, America would care even after the United States was eliminated. Apparently, soccer took hold here, and the World Cup concluded on Sunday with Spain versus the Netherlands. Most of match was a parade of yellow cards and physical play, and Spain had most of the clean score chances. But 90 minutes was not enough; the fate of both squads was determined in extra time. In the 116 th minute, Andres Iniesta kicked in the deciding goal giving Spain its first World Cup Final victory. The Cup slowly converted this causal styptic to a soccer believer. Don’t get me wrong. Touchdowns, dunks, and knockouts will always be first on my list, but there’s always room for something new. Only time will tell if Major League Soccer can use the popularity of the World Cup down the road in the U.S. NBA Finally, the Chosen One made a decision during a live television special on ESPN. Picking Miami over Cleveland turned LeBron James from King to villain in a matter of seconds. Through this entire process, James put his ego on full display. He’s ignored the Cavaliers and promised multiple titles for the Heat. Its unknown whether the self-proclaimed greatest trio in NBA history will produce a dynasty or even a profit for the organization. One thing is for certain: The Heat took all the pressure off the defending champion L.A Lakers and painted a big bullseye on their own back instead.
