So, a Germany v Brazil final - there's a shock. Quite honestly, if I'd known that this would be the outcome, I wouldn't have bothered to have watched any of it!! I find it surprising that Germany have never played Brazil in a final before, but that makes it no more palatable. Unfortunately, I missed great dollops of this game (due to severe strife with BT); unfortunately, because it was a very good open game. I'm really sorry that Turkey didn't quite manage it (they had heaps of chances) and sorry that Brazil have (a very simple goal; Flopsy's - very simple haircut and boots too). Well, Ich bin ein Berliner, oder Ich bin ein Augsburger, oder Ich bin ein Kolner - aber Ich bin NICHT ein blasted Brazilianer. |
