The English scrambled into second half like they ended the first one. They owned the second half and never left the German side of the pitch - until the German
Doppelblitz struck and broke their morale.
Two historic statistics. It is the highest score Germany has ever scored against England at world championships, and since 1954 Germany has laways made it amongst the last 8 teams.
The 3-goal difference has one good thing, that is that it takes away some of the tension about the second Engöish goal that was not given. Even if it would have been given by the referee, that doe snot automatically mean that afterwards the English would have marched through to victory.
All in all I think our team has won deserved. It was a win of good team spirit and team cohesion. even the weakness in defence was compensated by that. And different to earlier tournaments, the Germans finally, finally have learned to shoot goals.
Argentine vs Mexico this evening. Could become exciting, the Mexicans are agile and hungry. However, I expect the Argentinians to win. Hmn. Beside Italy, Argentine is one of the two classic German
Angstgegner.
