HOW GOOD ARE THESE GUYS?

   Very good, dare I say: darn good! Die Loew Juggernaut’s done it again. The gaffer’s record takes some stopping; a 103 wins in 150 games. Stunning thing really is that this particular team was his (As we call it) team B. Not one first team player in the roster. Red Bull Leipzig speedster Timo Werner set up Mochengladbach’s Lars Stindl to trickle the ball into Bravo’s vacant net. And then came incessant pressure, but they still didn’t budge. Messi’s goalie Andre Ter Stegen deservedly man of the match after an array of saves. His opposite number, well, still ruing the blade of grass that “bamboozled” Marcelo Diaz. Are these humans machines? “Oh you bet they are!” 2 trophies for Mrs Merkel to toast over: one from the U-21 side, and one from the senior side. I’ll like a glass please.

    What is it with these Germans? Potentially, they’re not the quickest or most skillful side. They don’t have the alien in their side too. So what is it about them? As their culture connotes, there’s just this assurance and swagger these group of footballers possess (and also perfection). Such elite mentality: It’s almost like they know you’re beaten before you even play them. Germany’s that one team on the famous electronic arts franchise FIFA, that gives you a continuous certain assurance of victory (most times given if you’re not quite skilled in the video game arts).

   Ever since Jogi Low took over in 2008, they’ve marched on from strength to strength really. Losing finalists in 2008 thanks to Fernando Torres’ exquisite chip over a hapless Jens Lehmann, they didn’t let their heads drop. In 2010 again, the same Spaniards (they lost) and also to Super Mario (Balotelli) in 2012 in Ukraine. Finally in 2014, as they deserved: spoiling a certain extraterrestrial’s “homecoming” via supers-sub Goetze. Merkel saw her side lift the World Cup on South American soil: dreams made reality for the Euro powerhouse. The six years before that joyous night in Rio de Janeiro were preceded by constant preparation by the manager and his players: raising up the performance levels and perfecting the art, whilst also being ruthless against opposition. The start of a new era? Vladimir Putin would let us know come July the 11th or so in Russia.

   Hitler wherever he is would be immensely proud of his countrymen: his countless Youtube rants not falling on deaf ears after all. You think you’ve seen it all? Bitte anschallen.
