Life's unfair.
Time and again we saw Germany playing awfully unwatchable football, with one and only one aim - to win the match whatever it takes, without considering the point of view of neutral fans who might actually want to see a good match.
This year however Germany played very Un-German in their first match (which of course they won), and so did they in the second one - but today, even though they lost one player due to a very hard second yellow card early, they were still clearly the better team, but lost nevertheless against Serbia.
Fair's fair, and even though that's not easy for an Austrian to admit but one must sympathise with the German team. So I'm awarding them with the golden sunset, and as this won't compensate for todays defeat also with my best wishes for the rest of the tournament, which in all fairness shouldn't end for them at group stage already.
As for the other matches, Slovenia more or less has cleared its name today by actually playing football; nevertheless of course the US clearly were the better team and by rights should have won the match (with that goal the referee declared to be 'unjust' or whatever, as it clearly was not off-side).
The evening match of England will begin soon, and I only hope that they finally live up to the expectations I had for them; I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for them.
