YES!!! Germany wins! Maradona and his Argentineans are going home. When I checked the score just after half-time Argentina was up by one and I was worried out of my mind. But I knew Germany would come through! They have all the wonderful players, including the two best goalies in the world. Oh how I love Miroslav Klose right now!! He is amazing and tied up the score in the 80th minute, which forced the game into overtime and penalties. Luckily, Germany dominates at penalties and won 4-2!!! Goals were scored by Ballack, Borowski, Podolski, and Neuville. Lehmann even managed to save two penalties!! Now I can't complain about Oliver Kahn sitting out anymore...
It's terrific how the German team has proved so many people wrong by defeating Argentina. In the game, they showed once again that they have got what it takes to become the 2006 World Cup Champions. It's onto the semi-finals. Italy shouldn't be too much of a challenge - I mean they didn't even win against the United States! Then after that, it's the finals in Berlin. Germany really deserves to win the World Cup. It has brought the whole country closer and spread a wave of unusual patriotism in Germany. German flags are beautiful...its a good thing they are finally being proudly waved.
