Trying to find a positive, and as much as I hate Spain, it feels kinda right a generation full of great players, some of which left their mark in European football for the last 5-10 years, to mark a cycle with a World Cup. Just like it felt right world class players like Del Piero, Totti, Cannavaro, Pirlo, Zambrotta, Buffon and co. to do it.
I didn't say "finish a cycle" because most of them are still relatively young and can play another world cup or two (where I pray to God they will choke royally), but nevertheless, it feels right that they won a world cup.
