deutschland downed

Aww...I was rooting for Deutschland to win. The see-saw game finally ended with Italia scoring in the last minute. It was a shock. I had already prepared myself for the penalty kicks...and it was so close. I always wonder what it must be like to compete at an international level. The pressure...the adrenaline...the thrill...the glory...the fire to win it all...to play like it's your last chance. The joy of winning such a coveted series must light up the world for the players.

Both teams had their chances though 'n it was anyone's game. Italy just snuck up 'n the timing of the goal couldn't have been better for them, leaving the Germans bewildered.

One must lose, for such is the game....but lose graciously as fighters, for there will be a chance again.
