Impressive work from your side! Thanks for summing all the necessary infos up on one thread. DANKESCHÖN!!
Thanks for your support. It wasn´t a nice game yesterday, both teams were nervous and played carefully. The game was actually on a good level after Argentina´s goal. Germany became more offensive, a real play evolved.
My predictions for today: ENG-POR tie after 90 minutes, and a England win after 120 minutes. Brazil will knock out France and also be in the final, although I don´t wish that. Germany-Italy on Tuesday will be tough, since Germany has never won against Italy in a World Cup. However, the 12th man and a strong unity within the German team (even the rivals Lehmann and Munichs goalkeeper Oliver Kahn have shaken hands) can make the difference.
BERLIN, BERLIN, WIR FAHREN NACH (WE´RE GOING TO) BERLIN!!
Michael, I just wanted to thank you for your always interesting insights into the game.
Despite your understandable bias for Germany, I'm impressed how fair and objective you are in regard to all the teams. I've learned a lot, and become what I thought was impossible - a fussball fanatic.
Please tell me we'll make it past Italy. Don't know if I can take another day of suspense.
