A good game.

There were definite period in the game where Germany looked a little lost on both sides of the ball but they made the goals when they needed to.

So it’s a clean sweep of Europe over South America (5-0) in all head-to-head matches, from the Quarterfinals on.

Watched it (because it was on the TV) at an outdoor cafe. Was an interesting match for soccer. Most of the Colombians were for Uruguay.
