Night of Long Wait

I shall name tonight as e Night of Long Wait... 4yrs...1461 days... wat a wait... n it paid off isn't it? Unlike past opening matches, where low scoring results were a norm, tonight's opening match, Germany vs Coasta Rica , definitely kicked off wif a BANG!

5min into e game n we got e 1st goal of e tournament...who else? Host nation germany of course... 7 min later, rica pulled 1 back... within 20 min, 3 goals in total... u think thats enough? Look at e total goals at e end of 90mins - 6! WOW... 4-2 was e final score line to gremany's favour...

Germany displayed some determined attacking football, but was quite a bit of let down with their backline... they seemed to be ball watching at times! But credit to Rica, whom never gave up throughout 90mins...

At some moment, i thought i was watching Brazil playing... coz germany seemed to be adopting brazil's "u scored 1 against us, we will score 2 against u!" philosophy ...haha... But to ensure that they do have a good chance of going to e final match at berlin, surely germany gotta eliminate those defensive laspes of theirs...

will they able to do that? e world beholds...
