4:0. Wow. This was even better than last Sunday. Germany played really well, didn't leave Argentina a lot of chances (even Messi, who'll probably want to forget this whole championship as soon as possible) and acted as a real team.

That's something most of the other big teams were missing: actual teamwork. I'm really glad that the German team does it so well, maybe the eternal "Leitwolf" discussion will finally die - that is, the assumption that you have to have a player who's the leader. The last instance of this was when it was certain that Ballack won't play, but I think the team proved that they don't need one.

That's another thing: it's not the championship of the big stars, and I actually like that. Here, have a video:


Of course these are just players that have a Nike contract, but it's still interesting that a) most of them didn't shine in the championship and b) most of them are already out. (Ronaldinho wasn't even there in the first place.) And I don't mind that. I'm all for fangirling players (Miro Klose has 14 World Cup goals now! Same as Gerd Müller!), but I like it that the team's the most important thing.

And who knows? Maybe it'll come true!


Wow. I love football right now. Maybe enough to watch Bundesliga again... after all I have a team right here.
