Did anyone else feel as if Germany was a bit obnoxious?

True, but at the end of the day the Soviet Union is no more and Germany is re-united.

Right now Germany has the strongest economy in Europe and basically run the EU.

Yes, but Hitler is dead, so there's that.

Wow. Read a history book. WWII and Germany in the eastern front.

I miss The World Cup already and they haven't even played the final. I'll especially mis the "Bippity-Boppity--Cinderella " commercials. I'm so glad Messi has brought his ungrateful country to the final.

I had to turn off the game after 40 minutes. Too much crying and it was really painful to watch.

They stopped looking for goals in the second half. They slowed their tempo way down. It could have been 15-0.


Absolutely. The Germans dialed it back considerably in the second half. They were not running for the balls or poaching like the first half. The attacks were one off breaks without much support. The goals were almost accidents in the second half. Ozil looked as if he was debating if he should shoot or just pass it to the goalie on the last breakaway for just that reason.

They got beat by the better TEAM. In fact, probably the best TEAM that is at the tournament filled with other sides that are 'some superstar + 10 other guys'.

It would have been a bigger insult to pass the ball to the goalie.

So a soccer victory is in bad taste?
