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.
Can I help it if I see the big picture?
ReplyDeleteAs for what you've taught me on the Von show, would it be ok if I got back to you?
