Day 26 (1st half finale)
Germany - Italy 0:2 AET
Yes, we lost, but life still goes on. Nearly everyone is sad and crying, the rest is laughing at us football fans and that really hurts, but we have to live with it. Anyway here is a short summary, someone still have to do this.
There weren't really big chances in the first 90 minutes, both team neutralized each other and many fouls were committed, but the referee didn't see them all. The extra-time was much more interesting. Italy wanted the decision because they lost every penalty shoot-out in world cup history (Germany won them all). They hit the post, the bar and Lehmann. Germany got some chances, too, but we weren't lucky. Then the referee blows his whistle after 118 minutes and we won the penalty shoot-out ... Oh, sorry, that was just a dream ... Italy scored twice in the last 2 minutes, that's really mean. But they were the better team and even got better chances to score, only 2 minutes were missing.
