Why? A country is not allow to celebrate hard work, valor and courage? This football game offered it in spades.
It takes nothing away from what we saw to know that in life winning can be a truly satisfying feeling. My late mother - I thought of her when the final whistle blew.
She never lived to see a united Germany but I know this day would have been a special one for her. I think if that’s true for people I love I miss so deeply in my life, there surely are moments in life worth savoring.
Team Germany put on a stellar performance and no question, in all respects it was a deserved victory. For that I congratulate them for true spirit and living up to the ideals of sportsmanship.
We rarely get to see other people truly do their best and that’s also I think why people are taken in by what this team accomplished. Its extraordinary and we won’t see a sight like this for a long time to come.

Your mother was from Germany? My Mom, sister and even my BIL (the Netherlands) cheered on Germany.
