And then there were four...

I've meant to do this about four times since Sunday morning and kept forgetting (the most recent time because the oven dinged to tell me that brownies were now ready, which I think we can all understand), but here it finally is: the Netherlands became the fourth nation to clinch a place at World Cup 2010 in South Africa by winning at Iceland this weekend, joining Australia, Japan and South Korea in the field.

As you may know, Oranje were my original football true love and I admit to no shame in pausing my normal USMNT focus for a brief moment to say "HUP HOLLAND HUP!"

Is this their year? Will this World Cup see a first-time winner? Spain? Holland? Anything can happen outside of Europe! There, I just gave you your next column. Send me an Amstel, at least!
