Die Mannschaft

At times, the World Cup appeared a battle of one-man teams:

Messi

Neymar

Pirlo

Robben

Rodriguez

Ronaldo

Suarez

And one by one they fell – to injury, to opponents, to hunger – until only one was left: Messi.

But Messi faced die Mannschaft:

Khedira

Klose

Kroos

Muller

Neuer

Schweinsteiger

Argentina had brought Messi, but Germany brought a Team.

Germany also brought Mario Gotze.

Gotze – substituted for Klose – scored the winning (and only) official goal of the match (113′).

Die Mannschaft hat Weltmeister bekommen.

Germany Champions

  1. I am not that much of football-fan.
    But I am German. What I like about your post is that it values teamwork 🙂

    Are you native German or English speaking?
    I wonder because you used a mixture of both.
    I had no problem to understand it though 🙂

  2. Good summing up of the World Cup. I like your logo. My former (American) husband gave workshops in Germany and his German was excellent. I picked up enough to translate your comment above. Fun.
