I've been following the football World Cup. (Soccer to Americans.)
  The answer to the question in the headline is: Yes.
  There is a famous quote by the English star striker Gary Lineker: "Football  
is a simple game. 22 players fight for the ball in 2 x 45 minutes. And in the 
end Germany wins..."
  How true.
  I remember the German 7-1 win over Brazil. The Brazilians had high hopes, 
getting to the final in their own World Cup. But the Germans absolutely 
demolished them! It is a game that will be remembered forever  - with a lot of 
pain in Brazil. Die Mannschaft played like gods. It was a game that proved 
anti-soccer columnist Ann Coulter wrong (if anybody ever had doubts about her 
being wrong...).
  It would have been illogical if the Germans were denied the title after such 
a great showing.
  Yes, the right team won. Deutschland ueber alles...

Ps. I have always had a soft spot for England. They invented the game, but 
always fail in the World Cup (except for in 1966 - and that was against 
Germany). I'd love to see England getting the trophy one day!
