France wins World Cup

I was hoping for Croatia to win since it was their first time to the finals, but France played great, winning the Cup for the first time since 1998 and their second overall. 

The French team used a lot of long range shots and eventually enough of them got in for a 4-2 win.  I was tempted to crack a joke about the French winning in Moscow in a way they could not in 1812, but I refrained :-)

Four years from now the world will get together for another Cup, this time in Doha in the United Arab Emirites.  It will be in November instead of summer, because it gets real hot in the Middle East.

Let's see if the US team can stagger in!
