World Cup Final


Germany retained the World Cup, which of itself is another record. At this rate they will soon become as famous as their male counterparts. They certainly deserve wholehearted congratulations, for a fine display. Brazil too are to be congratulated, for playing their part in a hard fought match, of contrasting styles.


The Brazilian women play with the sort of flair and ball control that we have come to expect from their nation. They are a joy to watch, and in this particular game, they had far more possession than their opponents. However, the Germans are a wily team, with great strengths, without which they would not have won consecutive World Cups.


The South Americans were full of confidence, after their surprise, but convincing win over the USA, in their semi final. The first half was played at a ferocious pace, and although Brazil went close, they were denied by Germany's strong defence.


After the interval, Germany's legendary captain, Birgit Prinz, beat Brazilian keeper Andreia with a shot that crept under her body, and perhaps should have been saved. Marta, who has been a revelation for Brazil with her exquisite ball skills, beat Angerer, but her shot hit the post. But when Brazil had a great chance of equalising, Marta missed a penalty. That is perhaps too harsh, because it would be fairer to recall that the penalty kick brought a wonderful save from Angerer.


The Brazilians threw everything into attack, and although they were impressive, it was Germany who scored again when Laudehr received a great ball from Lingor.


It was an exciting game of football, with real skills, and real thrills. Germany did not concede a single goal during the whole tournament, which proved what a strong, professional, outfit they are.


This tournament has been a terrific advertisement for women's football, and many millions have watched it on TV.. The Brazilian team have stated that they will do whatever they can, to get Women's Football League recognition back home. Let us hope they are successful, because it has been a joy to watch these accomplished players, from so many nations compete so magnificently.
