Hasta la vista, Germany? Von Joachim Herbert, 12.06.2008

Oh my god! What happened to the German football team? OK, we all know what happened, we lost 1:2 against Croatia. To be honest: No one really expected us to loose against a team like Croatia. And now we have, what we wanted, the game the team was working for for weeks: The final. And it´s the next match already.

But it´s not the one we expected. It´s against Austria and it´s the last game in the qualifying round. Jogi Löw and all these brilliant football players that weren´t even able to win at least one point against Croatia are about to go home on monday if they have bad luck.

All of you who are in their late thirties and older will remember the World Cup 1978 and the magic word “Cordoba”, the Argentinean city where Germany lost against Austria 2:3 and was thrown out of the tournament – as the defending champion, by the way.

So this time we´re lucky, because we aren´t the defending champion and the disgrace will not be as bad as it was 30 years ago. But hey, I shouldn´t be so pessimistic. And actually I am not pessimistic at all. Germany will beat Austria 2:0 and will make it to the quarter finals. And then everything is possible!

Do you agree with me? No, you don´t? OK, the leave a comment below and tell me what you think: Who is going to be the next European football champion?
And if you agree with me you can leave a comment as well :-)
