Everyone Likes a Winner – Spain Wins the World Cup, and Why It May Matter

I wonder: If the good people of Spain put as much energy into fixing the economy as we did into watching and celebrating the World Cup, would we be able to pull ourselves out of the mess we are in? Did this win really help to unite Spain, or will all be forgotten in a week? Will Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique and Joan Capdevila be chided for wearing the Spanish jersey when they received the World Cup trophy, or will this slight to their homeland be overlooked? And finally, after watching the events of the last three days, how am I suppose to take sports and politics seriously? I am not sure I ever did to begin with.
