Over the past month and a bit it has been a busy time. Over forty articles and reports covering the buildup, the tournament, the reviews and the tributes – with more to come as I round off what has been a real Sommermärchen. Sometimes arriving home emotionally shattered and occasionally a bit worse for wear, it has been a struggle at times – but every moment spent has been worthwhile.
However, there are some things you can find on the Internet that can bring everything flooding back in the space of a few minutes. Things that touch a nerve, magical moments that can make one’s hair stand on end and bring a tear to the eye.
This is probably one of the best video reviews out there – hats off to shadiego – even if he is a Werder Bremen fan! Covering the entire march to the fourth star in just over six minutes, it captures every moment perfectly – with a nice little touch at the end featuring Lukas Podolski and his son Louis. Thanks to Anne Güntert for pointing this one out for me!
In the next few days I will be posting a few more pieces, including one on the recently-retired Philipp Lahm… For now, I’ll just be putting down the car roof and blasting out that 1990 classic, Wir sind schon auf dem Brenner…
Thanks for linking it….still goosebumps after watching it after the umpteenth time! Puts you in a good mood even after watching the 50 biggest scandals in the WorldCup fron BBC3 (I did that!). AS a fellow Badener I am so proud that so great things have emerged from Schönau in the Black Forest.. 🙂
