GERMANY WON IN THE OPENING MATCH!!
ytd watched the opening match on chn 27 ( gt the most upfront view of the match ) . the atmosphere was simply too.. overwhelming. i did ( or maybe almost ) scream.. when i thought the ball had actually went in the goalpost. i guess i support germany more than costa rica. no prize for guessing the correct reason =x stayed glued to the tv.. from the start till e end. at around 5mins plus, philips lahm ( no. 16 ) scored the first goal for germany. the timing was pretty fast & quick. i was like.. kinda happy for the country =) however, costa rica soon followed suit.. as they also scored their first goal. there's one part whereby the goalkeeper playing for germany juz stayed at the same place.. while waiting the ball from getting in the goalpost. and nobody was dere to block one of the costa rica ( CRC ) player.
soon after, at around 17mins plus.. miroslav klose ( no. 11 ) scored the 2nd goal for germany. then, klose scored again the 3rd goal in 61mins plus. towards the end of the game, i was getting real excited to see the outcome of the match. and alas, torsten frings ( no. 8 ) scored the 4th & also the winning goal for germany in 87mins plus. in the end, germany won costa rica by 4 - 2. yay...!!
