Our weeks-long national nightmare is finally over: We no longer need to care about soccer anymore! And that's the bottom line, 'cause Biff Diddle said so.

Americans can get back to more important things like counting down to the start of college football season. (57 days!) Diehard soccer countries like the Netherlands are still in the contest, however. One overlooked Dutch landmark is WAG Yolanthe Sneijder-Cabau.

Yolanthe is the wife of Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder, who's apparently good at soccer. Sneijder was critical in the Netherlands defeat of Old Mexico, scoring the game-tying goal that forced OT.

Yolanthe is fairly talented herself.

She's a Gouden Kalf-nominated actress, the Dutch version of the Oscars. She also dabbled in American markets, having a role in last year's "Pain & Gain."

Yolanthe is a three-time winner of "Sexiest Dutch Woman" from Dutch FHM, an impressive feat given the country is known for its quality ladies.

Per its Wiki:

Private insurance companies must offer a core universal insurance package for the universal primary curative care, which includes the cost of all prescription medicines. They must do this at a fixed price for all. The same premium is paid whether young or old, healthy or sick. It is illegal in The Netherlands for insurers to refuse an application for health insurance or to impose special conditions (e.g., exclusions, deductibles, co-payments, or refuse to fund doctor-ordered treatments). The system is 50% financed from payroll taxes paid by employers to a fund controlled by the Health regulator. The government contributes an additional 5% to the regulator's fund. The remaining 45% is collected as premiums paid by the insured directly to the insurance company. Some employers negotiate bulk deals with health insurers and some even pay the employees' premiums as an employment benefit. All insurance companies receive additional funding from the regulator's fund.

Socialized healthcare? Thank goodness I don't have to cover this event for another four years.
