After the collective euphoria of having a home team unexpectedly capable of winning games, yesterday's loss has Germany mourning collectively. It's sad to lose in the last two minutes of a game that went into overtime, just before the draw would have made a victory by penalty shoot-out possible. However, the Italian team did keep our goalie much busier; thank luck and Lehmann for keeping the loss down to less than it could have been. At any rate, all are determined to be good losers and good hosts for the rest of the tournament, even though the Germans are reduced to playing a meaningless game for third place on Saturday, instead of fighting for the championship on Sunday.
Congratulations to the German team for getting farther than anyone had expected four weeks ago!
