Russia -- On a day when they were frustrated, intimidated and pegged back by the red horde in front of them, Germany kept their nerve, hunkered down and punished an opponent's mistake for a 1-0 win that sealed the country's first Confederations Cup trophy.

It's what you'd call a veteran performance, borne out of age-old experience and tactical savvy, except this German side has an average age of 23 and had hardly played together until three-and-a-half weeks ago.

Here are three thoughts on the match.

Unfortunately the time zone of 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup is not good for me at all. :(

These Are Days

Daughter with poster at the Botanical Garden Museum yesterday. Going to put the poster in a frame and hang it in our bedroom.

Tomorrow (July 4) is looking good for another bicycle ride (and swim) to Müggelsee. :)
Have a Happy 4th People!
