Wow. What a great game. The Italians were headed for certain defeat in penalty kicks, just to score a last minute goal — a beautiful one at that. Germany had one chance to tie but Ballack’s shot was off target and then there was a garbage time second goal. I do not like the Italians’ game very much but in the end they deserved to win. The German team is young and one strong defender away from being the favorite for the most competitive tournament on the planet: the European Championship, 2008 in Austria & Switzerland.
Vive la France!
