See ya in 4 years

So, the world cup is over, and Italy won.
I am happy for them, but I can't shake the feeling that they did not deserve to win.
Analyzing further, I think there are eerie similarities with Brazil's win last world cup.
They both did not play all they could but did enough to win match.
Even when they were not the best team, a lucky kick decided the game for them (like the last minute goals against Germany – or Brazilian’s lucky foul kick by Ronaldinho against UK last cup).

And when there's no "lucky kick", something else happen (like Zidane's expulsion, or the penalty for Brazil that didn’t happen last cup)

Congratulations to them. But they did not deserve to be called the champs; and sure as hell, not the best team in the world.

PS: If you want my opinion, Argentina was the best team. But Germany had the crowd behind them and played much more than expected. Either winning the cup would be cool with me (of course, either them or Brazil or Holland, my favorites).
