I can now go back to not caring about soccer ;)

Seriously, though, the ending was reasonably exciting.

I can see how you could get into it.
With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.

Brazil proved they're soccer crazy with the announcement after the game for German fans to stay in the stadium until they could be escorted out. :)

Germany 1-0 scoring in the second extra time period.

Germany was the better team and I'm glad they won it w/o going to penalty kicks.

I did not watch the game, but some sports are fascinating with low scores.

Hong, you are baseball guy, I like a one to nothing pictures duel. It magnifies everything. Every pitch, every strike, every ground ball, every error, every walk... Very exciting

I think that soccer is similar. I don't think a 10 to 9 soccer game would be exciting at all. But I am not a soccer guy so what do I know?

Agreed. I can accept low-scoring games if there's good action.
