There is a picture of Michael Ballack in one of our local papers and he is crying. He is wiping away tears and it is making me cry too. I cannot take all of these pics of the boys crying and yet I am taking the time to add them to my memories. They played a hell of a game yesterday and deserved to win. I just can't believe that I am actually ( Read more... )

Reading those entries and that article--and, oh god, seeing those pics--made me cry again. I am still somewhat surprised at how much this game is affecting me and how much I have come to care for these teams.

I feel like Ballack really didn't get his chance to shine this WC, nor did he in 2002. Bring on WC 2010--third time has to be the charm, right?

I hope he at least gets a few goals against Portugal on Saturday. He deserves them.

I am surprised as well at how hard I am taking this. I think that part of the problem is that they were my last team. I'd lost the USA, I'd lost Spain, I'd lost England, and there was no one after Germany. It was the end of the line.

I had been worried that Germany would make it to the final and win by a large margin in a somewhat boring game (because what's the fun of a game without tension?) Now I vote for an extremely fun bloodbath on Saturday in which Miro, Micha, Torsten, Lukas, and Jens (yes, Jens) all score goals. And Cristiano Ronaldo will weep like a baby. Again. (Speaking of you-know-who, check this out.)

AW--LOOK AT YOUR FREAKING ICON! That may be the best userpic in the history of LJ. Seriously--awwwwww! (And no, slashy implications are not forming in my head as I type this. That would never happen!)

I second the vote for a bloodbath (and move we open the floor to debate--oh, parliamentary procedure, how you haunt me). It would be wonderful if Jens scored a goal! Hey, if Ricardo can come out of the box to help his side, Jens should be allowed, too. (That reminds me of something I was wondering: Do you remember any of the other keepers coming that far out of the box during gameplay? Also, I think when the captain of Ghana had to leave the pitch, he gave the armband to Kingson--do you remember that happening in any other match? I just thought both instances were kind of odd.)

That manip is awesome! I would use it as my desktop if it didn't freak me out so much, but alas: I am a pansy at heart. Let's hope the crowd is superb once again on Saturday; I want some more boo'ing, please and thank you. :)
