In all reality it is no grand surprise Germany the host country for the World Cup won their second game of the greatest show on the pitch. The shock was how well Poland played them today (easy now…no Pollock jokes) in what was the second game for each team. The German soccer team was able to cruise by Costa Rica in their first game and Poland was upset by Ecuador. All indications certainly led to an old fashioned German flogging, but it took the black, red and yellow until injury time to capture a 1-0 win. Substitute Oliver Neuville scored on a sliding kick off a wonderful pass from another sub, David Odonkor. A big win a close win, it sure seems to me that Germany is going to make a strong case for the World Cup Final on July 9th in Berlin.
