Germany in the World Cup Final

Deutschland über alles…
Well, today is the big day. Germany is in the World Cup Final. I have to say that the general games have been very irritating for me. So to watch Brazil get thrashed felt wonderful. The South American teams “football” attempts have been full of “falls”, “stumbles” and “injuries”. Their exit of the World Cup showed that actually playing as a team and by the rules is the way to victory and it made me want to support Germany. I know, I know, I never thought I’d say it. I feel like my British passport will be revoked or I won’t be let back in at customs, but Germany played amazingly and it was a pleasure to watch the match.
Plus, being in Germany adds a little to the excitement. I had to rush home to watch the match after work. It was eerie, there was not a soul on the streets. Not a car on the road. I was the only person in the whole train. It was so quiet and still. A little creepy in fact. And then BANG BANG BANG – they scored. I heard the screams from the bars outside echoing in the station. Fog horns blared and car horns everywhere beeped like crazy. Every goal sent hundreds of fireworks into the sky. It was hard not to get excited and wish for more goals.
Let’s hope tonight’s match is just as exciting!
