Brazil and Germany meet again - this time with a berth into the Gold Medal game on the line. Can Brazil break through the staunch German defense? Can Germany generate an effective attack?

We're about to find out...

Just enough pace to get it past Angerer, but slow enough to make her suffer. And they almost get another one. I suppose I should be more sympathetic to Germany, but it's nice to see another world power feel a little Brazilian pain.; ▶ Reply to This

And I want Pohlers.; ▶ Reply to This

Yeah, but she's not going to get any better service than Prinz has.; ▶ Reply to This

And no, Pohlers won't score 4 or 5 goals but Okoyino da Mbabi isn't really a forward as well. I'd take Laudehr off and then switch places with Okoyino da Mbabi.

I bow to her superior wisdom. Thanks, Karyn.

I'd rather see her doing the final than the Swiss ref. Wonder who'll wind up with that assignment?; ▶ Reply to This

And Germany is with both feet on the ground again. Nice wake up call for them.; ▶ Reply to This
