Ok, that's it. Actually, I can't write more to explain my feelings about the match yesterday, but I'll try. For me it was thrilling, exciting and I probably lost two years of my expectancy of life.
For people not Argentinean or German it might be a bit boring at the beginning since there weren't lots of opportunities to score. Both teams defended very well and didn't make many mistakes. You could feel the respect they had for each other. However, I was very very tense and I had to stand up, because I was too excited to sit down.
Germany didn't manage to win against a "big" team since October 2000 when Didi Hamann scored the last ever goal in the Wembley stadium and they won 1:0 against England (yeah!). Since then, a lot of draws, not to mention the terrible defeats against England (1:5) or Italy (1:4). That really hurt ;-)
After the 0:1 the team showed a great will and came back. For sure, I am not objective, but I think that the game was well-balanced. If you don't agree, feel free to leave a comment ;-)
A win in the penalty shoot-out is always a lucky one, but it's hard to beat Germany in shoot-outs. Talk to an Englishman about this fact ;-)
However, now that they won against one of the best teams in this World Cup, I am really optimistic that they can make it.
