Germany, and the end of FIFA 2010

FIFA, on Germany:
Third place: Germany
A young German team caught fire in the knock-out rounds, thumping four goals past England and Argentina, but Spain's juggernaut was too much in the last four. Top scorers for the second straight FIFA World Cup, their future is undoubtedly bright.




GERMANY VS URUGUAY was a great match :D
and it allowed Muller to get the Golden Boot award, just like Klose in 2006 :D
but sadly, Klose suffered back injury :( and didn't play, thus missed the chance to
win Golden Boot, and to break Ronaldo's record of 15 World Cup goals :(
but still, Klose's name will be down in the soccer history and everyone's minds :)

and sad to say, that match, despite being so entertaining (as claimed by the media),
Germany lacked their important players and nearly their coach, Joachim Loew.
Lahm, Podolski, Neuer and Klose :(
due to flu, flu, dkwhy, and back injury :(
but it provided the young players a time to shine,
and an experience of what it is like to play in a World Cup to better prepare them for 2014 :)
also, it wasn't a bad choice after all hahaha
cause if lahm and podolski plays under that raining condition,
they may never be able to play another time again :( hahaha
and klose may injure his back even more :(

in any case, a Klose report: Klose concedes defeat in record hunt
"He really wanted to play, but after training on Saturday he said to me that would not be able to take his place in the team," said Germany coach Joachim Loew, who handed Klose's starting spot to Cacau. "He was disappointed but he knew that we couldn't allow a player who was only 80-percent fit to take part."

The Bayern Munich star, who had been suffering from a back injury, stayed on the bench on Saturday with his FIFA World Cup goals record stalled at 14, a total made up of five at the 2002 and 2006 finals and four in South Africa. Klose will be 36 by the time the next finals rolls around in 2014 and so is unlikely to feature again.

Great German player, Miroslav Klose :)
Even though unlikely, I'll still hope and wait to see you back in 2014
cause he, is the first German (& world) player that left such a great impression on me that i can remember him after 4 years
such that his name itself struck me immediately when i searched for Germany's squad this year :)
MIROSLAV KLOSE!

&&& i'm suddenly reminded of 2006's German squad,
with their brilliant coach, Jurgen Klinsmann :)
and i thought it was sad that he's leaving in 06.
but now, there's Joachim Löw too
both of them are Great German Coaches :)

GO GERMANS! :D I'll wait to see you shine in 4 years time :)
and by then, RIP Octo-paul, you've been a great friend of the World Cup, and Germany of course :)

speaking of which,
yesterday's final was another cool match by Netherlands and Spain.
Numerous yellow cards + a red card and free kicks like every now and then.
but other than that, it's the second time i witnessed Spain's accurate passes and Casillas' great goalkeeping
also also, the Oranje were cool players too,
but rough and violent with O.O nearly 10 yellow card = ~1 each for the team
hahaha, but great game
and great atmosphere at marina bay sands till 530 :)
i'm mad hahaha

but overall, great FIFA 2010
though many many unexpected results from teams,
but great year for Germany and other teams,
and now,
awaiting Euro 2012 and FIFA 2014 :)

PS i think i'll miss going to FIFA.com to read matchcasts and Germany's news o.o
and Germany's great great players
