three words:
Nerve of steel
Germany was so calm when they were attacked by the americans, takin the time to make the right pass instead of just kicking the ball anywhere like some other team. This feat always impresses me. I still say it, Germans don't play spectacular football to please the crowds or TVs (anchors always say the same things about Germany). They just play their system with the best defence so far, 1 goal in 5 games.
Even if they don't win the cup or don't advance more than this, I think they won their bet. They were hoping to just past thru qualification knowing that their team is riddled by injuries. The team is young and is made of above average players, no Maradona or Pele between them. Just solid players.
Their real challenge will be in 2006 and at that point they will have to win it all or at least be serious about it.
