3 août The world cup's best teamsNo team ever wins the world cup without deserving it and I think Italy are worthy world champions. In key moments they proved themselves capable of withstanding the pressure and getting results. As we say in Spain, they know how to suffer. They showed that by holding on at 0-0 for long periods of the game against Germany before beating them in extra-time, and then again in the final against France, when they were under pressure for a long, long time. And, when it really mattered, they found a way of getting the vital goal or clinching the result. I wouldn’t begrudge them their world title at all; their ability to compete at the highest level is very impressive.
Nonetheless, the team that I liked the most was Germany. From the very first game, it was clear that they knew exactly how they wanted to approach the tournament, they played with real confidence and pace, and they managed to get the whole country behind them. Out in Germany, you could really feel the weight of home support and the excitement that Jurgen Klinsmann and his players had brought to the country. They were a strong, powerful, young team who I really enjoyed watching and, I must confess, I wouldn’t have minded seeing the win the World Cup. RétroliensBlogs Web qui font référence à ce billet
