>>For the first time ever, I not only liked the team´s way to play, I LOVED it.
In the past I disliked watching the German national team play footie. Boring defensive soccer.
This WC they really played well on both ends of the pitch. I enjoyed all their matches I was able to see (1 group match, 1/4, semi, 3rd place). And a great job hosting the World Cup. Look forward to seeing them do well in Euro 2008.
Yeah, I only "liked" the German games in earlier tournaments because they´re MY team. :) But now, they played as you said on both ends of the pitch.
There are rumors, that the World Cup 2010 will be taken from SA, because they´re far behind the timetable. The decision about that will be made in 2007 - and it could be given to the US (most likely) or Germany (unlikely - because we hosted it two times, and it should be non-European host this time to make it a global and not only European event). If it´s in the US, I´ll come for the games and show you how to party!
