It was good that you told vox_PL that his words are not appropriate. It wasn´t a fair game, with 5 yellow and one red-yellow card, but that was somehow to expect in a "final match" for Poland. It´s not our fault that you lost against Ecuador, and I think everybody expected you and us going ahead as No. 1 and 2 of group A. It was definitely a good and exciting game, and though there weren´t many goals, it was good advertising for soccer!

I grew up admiring the German team in the eighties. Karl Heinz Rumenigge was my man :-)

Later, I have followed Germany fairly closely. Lots of great players like Andreas Brehme, Lothar Matheus, Diver Klinsman (I even got his autograph :-), Thomas Hasller (sp?)...

It is kinda if weird this time around, since the new German team is virtually unknown to me. I was impressed by the first game. Yesterday, was more of a battle against a desperate Polish team, but you guys came through it unscathed.

Good luck in the final group game, and might you make it to the final. I want a replay of 1966 :-)


BTW. Kudos to Germany as a host. You seem to be doing an impressive job, and the atmosphere around the games in the different cities seems excellent. The Norwegian reporters have been really impressed by the organisation and the atmosphere.

Cheers.
