Better team won. Xavi Marcos Senna and little Iniesta made the difference

Oh well, as long as we have Ballack (the GREAT loser of the millenium) we can’t win any cup.
Maybe it’s a bit harsh and personal, but despite all the things he’d done for us, we couldn’t have won a cup. So disappointed because he is my man.
That’s it. We definitely need a change, but hey. Congratulations Spain, you’ve deserved what you got.
And Germany, chinned up. You are courageous, you can do it another time, oh well I can’t find any words now, oh my poor Ballack (he lost 3 big finals in his life 1 WC, 1 Euro, 1 CL)
In the end, life goes on without us winning.

Now I don’t know how to deal with the breakfast-bet with my friends. They gonna kill my pocket :)).
Sometimes you must pay dearly for your love! :))

PS: Some serious thoughts here, I think Loew had done enough of his job. He is good but not brilliant, sometimes he was so conservative e.g. he left Hildebrand, Marin, Helmes at home, which I think it’s not good at all. He didn’t let new elements a chance, he brought Trochowski, Neuville, Adler, Westermann for nothing, and his blinded-belief in Gomez is something I can’t understand at all.

After 2 years from WC06, we haven’t change ourselves in a positive way, I think sometimes we are more vulnerable than in 2006. So it’s about time to change, another revolutionist like Klinsi has to step up and shout. Maybe Hans Dieter Flick is the man.

I don’t want to criticise Loew BUT all those things are facts that I accumulated from our games in Euro 08. He is not calm enough to keep his players cool when we are down, he looks nervous which for me it is not good when he is a head-coach. The players get nervous when their teacher gets nervous, that’s a truth.

Step up and fight. Loew has done his job to secure the result of Klinsi and Loew’s revolution himself. Now it’s time to change. Germany must become much stable and calm than in this tournament to win a cup.

A great summer, a great team, not a better result but it’s definitely a start for some great success in the near future. All we have to do is stay cool and have faith. Weiter Deutschland!
