Crikey!

History has shown us that when an island stands between Germany and complete dominance, Germany crumbles. Not this time. Australia, an island of kangaroos, shrimp on the barbie’s, the Sydney Opera House, and boomerangs as their lethal weapon will think twice before getting on the same field as Germany again. Although, their luck has been down when it comes to complete European domination no one can deny Germany as the land of the Panzer tank designed by the same man that brought you the 911 twin turbo, Benz/BMW/Porsche/Maybach, angry Rammstein music, and Einstein.

Germany’s first goal by Podolski in the first 10 minutes of the game gave a new meaning to Blitzkrieg. Australia, unlike Poland, could not have been duped with the “were leaving” explanation from Germany as they marched in backwards. Yet still the deutschland proved to be strong, methodical, and organized (I’m going to refrain a WWII reference here). The German’s went into their second goal head on (pun intended). After a beautiful cross, Klose with the header put the ball in the back of the net or in Australian “rayt in de pouch.” Their third goal, in the inside corner, crushed the hopes of Australia. In my opinion, the fourth goal was just mean. Ending the game 4-0, Germany vs. Australia, Steve Erwin was probably rolling in his grave (RIP). All in all Germany stood strong like the Berlin wall and I’m excited to see what they bring to their next game.

My favorite players of this game include Oezil, Podolski, Lahm, and Klose. Unfortunately though, I didn’t scope out any future husbands for myself. But I did fancy the German coach a bit. Did anyone else see an uncanny resemblance between him and Peter Gallagher?
