The 2010 World Cup is finished. Congratualtions to Spain. Congratualtions to the U.S. as well - great showing lads! What have I taken away from this past month of football in South Africa?
(1) Africa is a beautiful continent filled with beautiful people.
(2) South Africa's efforts paid off - the African continent's first World Cup was wonderfully produced (as far as I could tell from my television of course!)
(3) Great coverage by ESPN; Hopefully ESPN will further develop their football coverage.
(4) Another serious look needs to be done to examine merits of technology to assist referees (without impacting the "flow" of the game)
(5) Finally - this short video kind of says it all, in terms of the next steps for football in America:
Next up: 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany. Let's hope that this event gets coverage that rivals what we just witnessed in South Africa!
