And Germany wins the opening game!!

It's finally the moment we've all been waiting for. As the different countries come together, in a beautiful game, there's only one thing we all can do.. Yep, run around and chant, "ENGLAND! ENGLAND!!" whilst you obviously bang your glasses of cold, chilled..erm, APPLE JUICE, on the table..and get all GRRR!!!

And In summary of Today's match - Germany Vs Costa Rica..

It was getting to the peak of excitement as Germany and Costa Rica begun the very first football match this afternoon. With Germany on an amazing roll, Lahm scored the first goal in the first 6 MINUTES! By 12 minutes, Costa Rica were defending brilliantly and Wanchope scored his first goal, Leaving Lehmann very puzzled. Tsk

17 minutes and Klose scores Germany, their second goal. Their ball possession rises to a WICKED 60[+] Percent.

With Ballack announced injured, hope was lost, at the beginning of the game. Nevertheless, we did have players like Klose and Schneider, playing. Hope started rising, as Germany was leading, and yes, I'd have to agree that Costa Rica used brilliant defending skills. For the first half of the match, Germany's defence was questionable, and not quite, well.. Convincing.

After half time, (61 minutes) Lahm strikes a header, only to be brilliantly ( I must admit! ) defended by Costa Rican goalkeeper, Porras. Klose suavely comes in, and STRIKE!! We have our 3rd goal for the match.

By 70 minutes, Costa Rica begin to get itchy for another goal. Wanchope gets into place, waits for Lehmann again, and strikes the second goal for his team.

Finally, by 85 minutes, Schweinsteiger plays a free kick and FRINGS strikes from 30 something yards away :O .. And there we have it, Germany win the match, 4 - 2

A great way to start the world cup, in their own country and as Gary Linekar said, "It was a flying start to the world cup!"

Ah, just brilliant, is all I'll say.
