World Cup Champions!!!!!!

It was a very exciting evening in Germany last night! For us, the game didn't start until 9:00pm. Before the game, we walked around the city a bit - it was fun seeing all of the anticipation! Mia was allowed to stay up and we had a little "viewing" at home. It was pretty cut throat, as no one scored during the normal play time and they had to go into extra time. Germany's Gotze scored and then they just had to keep the lead for the remaining time. Final Score 1 - 0 Deutschland!!!! I was so glad they didn't have to go into a penalty shootout because to me that is a horrible way to win or lose such a big event. It seems too simple! After the game, was when the real fun started around here. We could here nothing but horn honks and fireworks up until 1:00am. Definitely a fun experience to be part of the excitement.  2014 World Cup Champions!!! The U.S. might just have to bring it in 2018 :-)
