They also went into extra time in all three knockout games.
That means in the knockout rounds they led 1.4% of the time.
And missed an embarrassing number of penalties.
Again: bonkers.
Well that was an incredible run from Germany. Given all their injuries, and two players out for red cards/accumulation, it was impressive to come this close to knocking Spain out. The team should be very proud.
And at least they went out on a class goal by a world class player, rather than an extremely soft PK call.
(Also, loved the shot we got of Esther and AKB hugging as they exchanged jerseys. <3)

Germany defender passing to Esther in the box, terrible idea (unless you're Spain) luckily AKB with a fantastic save. Also enjoyed AKB positioning a Germany player in front of Esther on the corner. Berger trains with Esther every day, she knows what a menace she is on corners.
