Nooooooooooo! They were so close. It was 0-0 in extra time. Over 28 minutes into the 30 minutes of extra time after which it would go to penalties which Germany would almost certainly win as they have only ever lost once at penalities in the World Cup (they beat Argentina in the last round on them) and Italy have only won once apparently.
Then Italy scored. Germany had a single minute to claw one back and beat them on penalties. Then Italy scored again! This sooo isn’t fair, I ignored the World Cup until last round, then I started to get sucked in. By this round I got myself pyched up enough to be screaming at the TV and then this happens!
If Germany had a chance to win the World Cup this was it. They were in the final in 2002 but Brazil beat them 2-0 and rightfully so, I can’t pretend Brazil didn’t outplay them because they were really on form. But being the host nation is always a massive advantage – look how far South Korea got in 2002. South Korea! So if they had a chance, it was this World Cup while they are the host nation. Guess not though. Despite that, they are a stronger team than they were in 2002 so it seems Klinsmann is bringing them back onto form.
