The World Cup is over. We lost the semi final against Italia unavailable but defeated Portugal unavailable. The 3rd place is a major achievement considering the state of the german team when Jürgen Klinsmann took over. He did not just formed a team that is among the four best teams worldwide – much more important he showed the way to go for our future. And I’m sure this team definitly has a great future.
Apart from this “final of hearts”, Italia won the cup over France unavailable in the “real” final in penalty shooting. Congratulations, however the french team dominated the game for a good part, so I’m a bit sad about that result.
I didn’t experience any other World Cup so intense – thanks to Kaiser Franz for his part in bringing it to Germany. Thanks to all teams, the fans and the supporters that made most of the past four weeks a giant party. Now back to everyday life… until the European Championship in 2008!
