So we beat the Greeks and are now through to the semis. I think it's time for a celebratory picspam, don't you?
Jogi decided to switch things up a bit and let Miro, André and Marco start the game instead of Mario, Lukas and Thomas.
Even the ugly bib couldn't distract from Mario's attractiveness though.
The WAGs were out in full force. There were Lena "Khedira" Gercke...
Kathrin "Neuer" Gilch..
Lisa Müller...
Sylwia Klose...
Monika Podolski...
Cathy "Hummels" Fischer...
...Silvia "Gomez" Meichel and (finally!) Sarah "Schweinsteiger" Brandner!
Oh look, she's holding a beer!
Haven't seen that before.
The boys played well...
but it was hard
and, sometimes dirty, work
and for a while that goal just didn't want to come.
In the 39th minute though...
This happened.
Source 1-0 LAHM!
Careful, Jerome... ;)
After that, things got a little bit harder again for a while, but our defender tried their best to keep things under control..
Not always successfully...
But then after 61 minutes...
Source 2-1 KHEDIRA!
And not that long after, in the 68th minute...
3-1 KLOSE! (

And to top it all off, in the 74th minute, there was this beauty!
Source 4-1 REUS!
Marco and Jerome had prepared a little something...
Source It wasn't exactly Jerome's best game, but he excelled at celebrating with his teammates.
In the 80th minute, Mario "Pummelfee" Götze finally got his first appearance in this tournament.
The Greeks got a penalty and made it 4-2, but in the end Angie celebrated...
(lucky shin guards?)
And it was time for more HUGS...
... KISSES...
...and various levels of NEKKIDNESS!
Well done, boys!
