Brasil’s Marta

[Dark Horse]

Bad luck for Brasil. They dominated the entire first half. Got as close as a shot against the inside post. Germany came out strong in the second half and got a goal that the goalie should have stopped. Brasil then was awarded a penalty that would have tied the game, but Marta missed it. After that, Brasil pretty much lost their heads. They started playing like individual players instead of a team. A late German goal put the game out of reach. Experience won out over talent, discipline over artistry, and luck over bad luck.

She really made an impression.

Final is in five hours. I put a little on Brasil.
