Exactly as expected Germany got past an overmatched Costa Rican side 4-2. The offensive firepower from Germany was constantly on display, unfortunately so was their completely inept defense.
Germany will be able to outscore teams to easily get through a round or two, but unless some sudden transformation shores up the defense, they’ll struggle after that. Obviously their only philosophy on defense is to have a good offense.
The mouth, Michael Ballack, was shown to be completely unnecessary unless he wants to suit up in the back. Any team that makes Paolo Wanchope look like a stud, are in deep trouble when they face a real one.

I was surprised to see so much scoring in the opening game.
Good to hear Paolo Rossi is alive and well. He was the man in the 82 cup.
You jammy bastard. In the States, ESPN has given us Julie Foudy. Neither hot nor knowledgeable–no picture forthcoming. She must be there only to pander to the lesbian demographic. Somehow, ESPN figured because she played for the woman’s team she must know something, but it’s laughable. Further evidence of the complete lack of respect ESPN gives the game here.
We do ocassionally get a glimpse of Georgie (what’s her name) from Sky Sports on the Soccer Channel.
Thing’s are bleak here for soccer fans. Bleaker than you can possibly imagine.
