2 MINUTE BLITZ!!!
It was a battle that could be easily predicted my any Tom, Dick and Harry. Germany would definitely win the game. I was also darn sure it would be a Germany - France finals. Looks like it's another round of predictions for the finals. Bet the pundits are going to lose big time on this. But It was a good match to stay up. Truly unbelievable.... Even Paul and Shebby could not see that coming...
The 1st half was a great display of football, much better than the forgetable defensive stand that the Germans took during their match with Argentina. Both sides take lots of chances going forward, relentlessly trying to score a goal. Still I did not believe that Italy would win the match even with their posession. But effort and shots on goal speaks otherwise. With Italy taking the bulk of offsides and foul. I knew a goal was sure to come but it never came until the end of the first half. The second half was dull. I thought that Germany may just finish the game by scoring a goal.
Then, it dragged on into extra time. I really felt that the match begin only when extra time, kicked in. The Italians came alive and was really playing football....Both sides were really into the game actually. It was such a close shave for the Germans. It could have been 1-o for Italy in the 91st minute. Then it was the ball which hit the post. Again, it could have been 2-0. At that time I knew something was coming, but I didn't know when. Then the 119th minute came. It was the beginnning of a blitz which totally destroyed Germans hopes of enterin the finals. It was a rare moment of inspiration from Pirlo, providing the cross which was curled back to the top corner, beating Jens Lehmann well into injury time. Then the final blow came. A wonderful counter-attack, seeing Alessandro del Piero hitting one more into the other corner of the goal. IT was total disappointment for the German supporters... Cameras zoom in on tearfull and gloomy German supporters. I bet the entire nation must be mourning. BUt it was great for me..... IT WAS SWEET REVENGE!!!!( for kicking Argentina out.....muahaahahaha)
VIVA VIVA ITALIA!!!!
It is time for a countdown.....
