When everyone is on their knees, their socks are down, and they've blown a gasket . . .
Pure art in words.

Nobody really did anything wrong. The shot was just that darn good.

They'd had a second trailing defender on Messi who would have been in the line of that shot just inside the PB, but he was gassed at that point in the game and didn't get to his spot.

Do we want Ghana to beat Germany so we face a down but pissed Germany. Or do we want Germany to play out the script and cruise in against us on top of the world?

And FTR, that was a big moment for Messi, but Robben still does that better than anyone.

Clearly I'm KC first but my fallback is the guys up NE. Same here. I want them both to do their best. Hell, for me the absolute best outcome is Germany to roll Ghana like 7-1 and then find some way, any way, to blast them large. Say 2-1 or 3-1. Hey, once we're out I'm all in Kruat, but there's nothing I'd love more than to splat that face 3 or 4 fingers up to nil...

Every time they mention Per Mertesacker, I get the mental image of a big ol' Harley tooling down the road.

It's a tough call. A safe 2nd, or a tinker's chance at taking the Group.
