At the half, it is tied:

Brazil 0
Germany 0

Brazil has had some scoring opportunities, but hasn't gotten the ball into the net. Kahn is doing a great job at goal for Germany, as usual. Germany is ahead in time of possession, 55% - 45%.

Let's see how the second half goes. I really didn't know who I was going to root for, but I think I'm pulling for the Germans. After all, they ousted the USA, so I'd like us to be able to say that we lost to the champs... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

Vive la Deutschland!

Oh my...Neuville almost had that one in there, but Markos got a finger of his left hand on it, knocking it out... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

ACK! Kahn can't hold the ball and Ronaldo scores for Brazil at minute 67.

Brazil 1
Germany 0

In the 78th minute, Ronaldo scores again, tying Pele's record of 12 career World Cup goals. Wow!

Brazil 2
Germany 0

And it's over...Brazil wins a record 5th World Cup title by a score of 2-0.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask: when did FIFA start letting aliens referee World Cup matches?

Looks like Lucy was up early even on Sunday morning!
