Close and yet so far
The dream of yet another World Cup final was so close and yet so far tonight. After holding our own for 119 minutes, Italy finally scored their goal to go up 0:1 and scored the second one minutes after that. So final result Germany 0:2 Italy, we all hoped to get to the penalty kicks, but it wasn’t to be. A deserved victory after two kicks hitting the bar and the crossbar and our chances: 0.
Really sad that our series had to end today instead of the other one (we didn’t lose a match in Dortmund prior to this match and we didn’t win a match against Italy in the WC yet)…nontheless it was fascinating to see all the people still cheering for our national team and keeping their head up - even in defeat. So it’ll be Stuttgart on saturday (against either France or Portugal) instead of sunday in Berlin…
Side note: I’ll try to put up another post with some pics about “my world cup” so far in the next few days…
You will find it no surprise that I will not be cheering for Portugal tomorrow.
*lol* don’t tell me that you’re going to cheer for the “arch-enemy” just because Portugal busted you? ;-)
