ESPN Captures The High Drama of the German Win..

High drama as the Germany - Argentina game lived up to the hype going all the down to penalty kicks. Hope you had a chance to watch the telecast as Dave O'Brien and Marcelo Balboa brought their “A game.”

O’Brien was able to build the drama without over selling the game. Meanwhile, Balboa spotted Argentina’s tired play, stating that if the Argentines did not tighten things up their 1-0 lead would disappear. Within 90 seconds of Balboa’s comments, Miroslav Klose tied the game in the 80th minute and the game went all the way to PK’s.

Balboa did a great job of explaining how tough PK’s are and O’Brien kept the drama high and when Germany won the PK’s 4-2, he stayed quiet for a few seconds allowing the home crowd to tell the story.

Good stuff by the ESPN team...
