Germany are football world champions again! The German team won 2:0 against Brazil in the Women’s World Cup final in Shanghai on Sunday; and in doing so have concreted their position as #1 women’s football team in the world, a mantle not so long ago that was held by the USA.
The German team returned home yesterday after not giving up a goal in the finals. England took them close with a0-0 draw but were never going to be strong enough to beat the Germans. The German team were given a warm reception complete with a rendition of “We Are the Champions.”
With crowds averaging 38,000, the World Cup in China was deemed to be a big success, so much so that the China Football Association said it was now mulling a bid to host the 2018 men’s tournament.
The FIFA president Sepp Blatter was impressed with the quality of the football and the interest it generated. “Generally speaking, it is a big improvement by all the teams from four years ago in the United States,” Blatter said.
The United States took third place and Norway fourth.
