For those who say nothing happens in soccer, Germany and Italy battled for 118 minutes today. No score. Just valiant and unceasing effort. The game was two minutes - actually a little less - from being decided by penalty kicks. Then Italy scored a beautiful goal. So it's over.
Except Germany pressed forward, had a decent opportunity to tie, but ultimately fell victim to Italy on the counterattack. 2-0.
Sometimes I think that the only hope for Europe is in football. There resides what is left of its courage.

Rick, Rick, Rick. Why'd ya have to go ruin a perfect posting about the Italy-Germany soccer match with a discordant political remark.
It was a soccer match. Not everything wants or needs a big-picture, political analysis.
Haven't I taught you anything on the Von show this past year?
Can I help it if I see the big picture?
As for what you've taught me on the Von show, would it be ok if I got back to you?
I think you are confusing the big picture with your TV screen. Even if it's big screen, it's not big picture.
I can wait for your report about what you've learned on the Von show. I appreciate the amount of time it will take to remember it all.
