What I didn't keep in mind when I predicted 6-0 was that it's really a big deal for the Urus to come thus far in a tournament. Plus they feel like a really big football nation themselves. Germany on the other hand played without Lahm, Podolski and Klose. Both teams showed character: first the Urus turned the game around, and then the Germans did the same. The very last second of the match saw an incredibly near miss by Forlán. I think they'd have been capable of turning it around a third time. Müller performed outstandingly. I wonder what would have happened if he had been on the field versus Spain.
