Well I called that game right.. one goal win and not going to shootouts

...one goal win

And a beautiful one at that. Much better than the last WC final, which was extremely boring iirc. I'd liked to have seen a little more effort, a little more push from both teams, but the penalty for that style is death by counter attack, which neither team seemed willing to risk too much. Still, not too bad. I'm just glad the winning goal was of excellent quality, worthy of the game.

Watched the final with my German friend was a great birthday present for him.

For a final, it was a pretty decent game. The Germans really deserved it. They conserved energy by not playing at full potential in the group stage and maybe even in the last 16 round. Their fitness was definitely better than all the teams that they faced in the knockout rounds and the final. Very good planning by them.
