Not only that, but they beat them with two of the sweetest goals I've ever seen (I managed to track down the video highlights on the Internet). What a beautiful clean shot from Schweinsteiger to start things off! Just a joy to see: straight, fast -- dead on. But I confess I liked the second one, from Klose, more, and not just because it was Klose. What a pleasure to see it bounce off the hand of the Portuguese goalkeeper. I don't mean that nastily. I just mean that it's nice to see that sometimes there appears to be a bit of cosmic justice: if you are a team that plays mean, you don't just get beaten with three sleek goals; one of those goals is humiliatingly close to being a save.
Although what's up with Joachim Loew? (that's him over there looking oh so Euromale.) I gather that he argued with the ref at the last match, but it's not clear to me how long his ban is. Also, and more distressingly, there's a 50/50 chance that Germany will go up against Croatia in the next match. Who will I root for then? Ooooo....I think it will be Croatia. Or maybe I could root for both?
