Personally I feel sorry to the pity Dutch, but they just don’t have any reliable and good strikers. Anyhow, congratulation to La Roja and that’s all for South Africa 2010. See you again in Brazil 2014!
Still couldn’t believe that there is no award winner coming from Brazil or Argentina this year. ;(
It’s usual for the World Cup award winner come from the top four teams, but I think Messi still have the chances to shine in future World Cup. Stay cheers, pal~
