The best WC final in over 15 years!
This game was much, much better than the finals of '90, '94 and '98.
In '90 we witnessed a horrible display that can barely be called a football match.
In '94 Italy refused to attack and sat inside their area waiting for the penalties - so it was booooooooring, the only good thing was the Baresi x Romario duel, won by Baresi. Good thing Baggio wanted to advertise his book,
'A Goalmouth in the Sky', by shooting at that goalmouth.

:howler:
And in '98 Brazil was a shadow of a team, and France won practically by WO. The French deserved their victory, but the truth is Brazil entered the pitch already defeated by Ronaldo's fit.

It was a sad display and I was glad when it was over.
But this year...! Germany, against all odds, attacked Brazil trying to get a goal they could defend later. Vöeller attempted a 'tactical trap' that managed to corner Brazil for 25 minutes; then Scolari untied that knot by changing Gilberto's position and Brazil took over the game.

The Germans put up a great fight, and it only made our victory much more grandiose. It was a great match between two completely different schools of football; and both teams deserve the applaud of their supporters. But there could be only
one winner.

roud: And as good as Kahn was, he couldn't carry Germany by himself. It was a superb match. :cap: :smileani:
