By Hannah Sung

What a way to end our focus on sports and soccer. Spain takes the 2010 World Cup. Olé! John Doyle may be just as good as a psychic octopus at predictions.

Thanks to John Doyle for the soccer education and for sharing thoughts on his best-selling memoir, The World Is a Ball: The Joy, Madness and Meaning of Soccer.
