I was quite young at that time and don't remember much what i dud i 2014, but that event was so great for me and I remember the big party at that time on oir street. Oir whole szreet didn't sleep, even the ones that hated football were outside at the break just to celebrate with us
German team was so classy, not overly celebrating/humiliate the Brazilian team, taking it slow in the second half, cheering them up after the match ended etc. When Brazil won another match 2 years later or so, they mocked the Germans, laughing, saying the 1:7 meant nothing anymore etc. I will never forget that.
You know, I cried as a kid in 2002, when we lost the finals vs Brazil, so this felt like karmic justice to me when we beat them like this and took the cup as well.
Let this be a lesson for everyone else, as a Belgian I can so attest to this: Germans are thorough. If you play football against them, they will play football against you untill the clock runs out. If they invade you, they will invade you properly and thoroughly. It took quite a bit of convincing from the USA to get them to leave last time round. If you invade them, they will slaughter your armies and sacrifice the survivors to their gods. You can ask the Romans this (google "Teutoburg Forest") Don't fuck with the Germans.
There is one fellow German, that suffered just as much, as you guys did… Only in a diffrent way. A friend of mine is a gamer since she had her first computer. Her father - like many parents - used to randomly turn the wifi off. As revenge, my friend hid behind the couch and secretly turned off the tv everytime Germany was in a good position to score. The only goal her father saw that day, was yours. My friend says the month without a pc was totally worth it…
