I have a hard time believing it, but it looks like we made it past Argentina -- 5:3 (penalty shooting). It was a really tough and hard-fought game and for more than 30 minutes I really thought we were out... until Klose made his most important goal in this tournament.
There is nothing to be said about the penalty shooting, it's a german tradition and we remain unbeaten... seriously though, Lehmann was great! My personal match winner though was David Odonkor -- his exchange turned the game. He brought the spirit and the will to catch up. Yes!
For us, it's going to be Italia in the semi final -- the Ukraine played a good 2nd half, but shortly before they could catch up to 1:1, the Italians made their 2nd goal and this more or less broke their will. Bummer.
