Ze Germans!

Hey yaars,

Why do they always find a way to prove me wrong. The weaker I think they are, the stronger they turn out to be! I'm going to hear an earful from my cousins in Offenbach over this. Yes, Germany beat Argentina, ON PENALTIES!!!

They were totally outclassed all game yet as always, snuck their way into the match with an 80th minute goal by Miroslav Klose. And of course come penalty kick time they turn into stone cold killers. I just knew when I saw that Ayala was taking a kick he'd flub it - he's a DEFENDER for goodness sake! One thing I've learned over my years of watching footie is that during penalty kicks, you must have a small run up and pick a corner. None of this charging in like a mad bull rubbish!

Anyhow, I'm sure Courtney will let me hear all about it today and how Brazil is going to samba all over Les Bleues tomorrow. If that DOES happen, I owe her a drink! Let's hope Zidane casts another one of his magical spells tomorrow!

Vive le France!!!
