I said "if they keep up their form" - and they didn't. I don't understand why they didn't (was Mueller that crucial? Were they that scared of Spain?) but... they didn't. It wasn't the same beautiful game we saw the past couple weeks.
I am heartbroken. It ended 2 hours ago and the tears are still flowing every few minutes. I never expected to get this invested in any sports team, and I suppose I should have prepared myself for the worst, but - they looked like they were going to win. They DESERVED to win with they way they were playing.
But you know what? This team was considered underdogs entering the tournament. They were young, inexperienced, and riddled with injury.
But they got to the semis. They still have the highest goal count of the tournament, and can add to it on Saturday. They have a chance to land a golden boot for Mueller or Klose, and a Best Player of the Tournament award for Basti, which he fucking deserves.
In short, they were amazing. And I am so, so proud of them. I'll see you in 2012 boys - my heart is yours forever now.
Oh and also - DESTROY URUGUAY! I really want to see you smile again before I have to say goodbye, okay?
&Die Mannschaft; Thanks for a great ride. I love you.
