3-1 Germany - half time😀

That gives them an accomplishment, whatever happens in the rest of the tournament.

It is impressive .particularly since it was their first attacking shot😀

Another German goal

- that sucks😀

Men will be lining up for hat tricks 😀
I remember our first WC goal against Croatia in 1998. They scored first and we scored just before half time. It was absolute madness here.
Croatia won 3-1.
That match was actually on June 14 1998 - 28 years ago to the day. We got a holiday😀

but Curacao is not intimidated or backing down

This is exactly what Germany needs as an opening match- a minnow that bites back.

5th goal - not that Curacao has a chance here.

the hair-splitting definition leads to uneven enforcement. They should go back to using the position of the feet rather than head/ hands/ aura of the attacked being past the second last defender.

My expectation of the final score was only off by one goal; if Curacao's one header was a foot lower, I would have been off by two.

😀

the camera angle isn't perfect and it is close but it does appear the German player's foot is just ahead of the defender's. The flag should have gone up.
