Oh my god, such an awesome victory.
I really like some NL players like your goalkeeper, who did an awesome job btw. That Captain is slimy though. I don't like that penalty corner whore v.d. Weerden too
Ok enough hate against Holland.
You played very well. I heard an interview earlier today, where one of the German players (forgot who) said that the team wins that wants the victory more and I felt that Germany played with a bit more passion than Holland. It seemed like Holland just tried to get more penalty corners, but lacked the creativity a bit, while Rabante just saw the gap and did the first goal because he wanted to make it.
That a penalty corner goal for Holland is going to happen after 3 corner was obvious, well shot once again.
Second German goal was just stupid msitake by Hollands defender. Even I learned that you never just shoot the ball away, even under heavy pressue, safe it with your body or play it to the side as the opponent has less room to bring the ball back to the goal again.
Anyway, well played ball, to the post, especially the redirection half way was great, bringing the ball exactly to Rabantes stick.
I'm so happy for these guys, awesome final. Everyone in peakform right in time. Our coach won his 3th Olympic gold medal. 2004 with the women, 2008 & 2012 with the men. He's a great guy.
