Quote wm finale 2014

And it was against Cameroon.

The Germans know that if you want to win a football match, it helps to be able to keep hold of that round thing with the Adidas logo on it: the ball.

You even sat through Japan 0-0 Greece and Iran 0-0 Nigeria.

Football wise, they weren’t.

Dieses Finale wird als einer der denkwürdigsten Momente in der Geschichte der Fußballweltmeisterschaften in Erinnerung bleiben.
