Germany Wins, Starhub Loses

Just watched the free screening of the Germany-Turkey game. And goodness, so many things have happened. Best of all, Germany won 3-2 in the Euro semi-final. Worst of all, there were 3, count em, 3 transmission breaks for the satellite feed. And we missed seeing 2 of the 5 goals scored - the spectacular Klose header and the subtle Sehmi slide through. Apparently, there was lightning at the stadium, according to BBC Sport. Well, what to do.

The repeat showed Angela Merkel jumping for joy at Klose's goal. That was very cute. Then the Turkish rep hugged the lady next to him when they equalised. But the winner from Lahm makes me smile. This young chap was in the right place at the right time, took the cross, had 1 second to stabilise and set up the shot, and made himself the hero for Deutschland. Greatness. And the smile on his face radiated across the universe I tell you.

Nice one Germany. Starhub, you better have a good explanation, you money-eyed corporates.
