Spain Wins World Cup

Spain Wins! Spain Rules the World Cup!
Yes Spain has won
the World Cup soccer tournament for the first time ever. Spain is also the champion with the fewest
ever goals scored for the tournament and lowest average score for a
champion. Spain is the first country to
lose their first match of a World Cup and go ahead and win the tournament and
is the first European team to win the World Cup outside of Europe.
All in all a job
well done by the pre-tournament co-favorites.
Now what? Some countries promise the team members jobs
for life for winning the World Cup.
There were some rather interesting promises made to both fans and
players of other countries if their team were to have won, but alas, it is
unknown if any of those promises really would have been upheld. As it is, the Spaniards will share $30
million for their winning efforts.
But what other
rewards are available for the winners?
Besides the cash reward for winning, what other rewards will be
available? There are the previously
mentioned jobs for life (and national celebrity) that some countries may
promise, there are physical items that may be rewards for winning.
Spain is one of
the older European countries yet it has managed to avoid at least some of the
destruction visited on countries like France and Germany through fighting the
world wars so there are likely to be more antiques surviving into the 21st
century. Especially with the Moorish
influences, there are quite likely various Moorish pieces of furniture and
antique rugs, especially antique Persian rugs that are around that can be given
to the team members to commemorate the win.
Imagine the pride
of the families of the players knowing that the vintage rug adorning the floor
in the formal dining area is a reward for the sacrifices that they made in
support of their family member’s pursuit of soccer immortality and knowing
they’ve received the reward to be enjoyed by all the family and the future
generations of the family. If the
Spanish members of the World Cup Champions team were given prizes such as
antique Persian Rugs, the family itself benefits and can look with pride on the
rug, knowing they helped to contribute to the success enjoyed by the entire
country.
Today and for the
next four years, Spain is the capital of the world of soccer. Is it possible that the United States will
ever achieve the World Cup Championship?
Yes it is. Is it probable? No it is not.
So enjoy being
the top Espana! Enjoy.
