Germany's loss and world football loosing its charm

when we try to mix up wishful thinking with belief , all dreams shatter away. Germany clearly loosing the belief after 75th minute that they can win fifa world cup 2010 , leading to slack in effort. The match was so tight that it was a matter of one goal to decide who is going to the final. Both teams refusing to loose , espain tried a bit harder and got the result in their favour. Even the 6 feet 4 midfielders of germany couldn't manage to stop the attack of comparatively shorter spanish strikers. If you analyze the penalty corner that fetched the stunner to espain , spanish guys jumped a bit earlier and their proactive approach made the giant german midfielder's just watching the match going out of their hand. the klose magic was missing , may be espain has stronger defence for klose the penetrate , but clearly when the oppurtunity was to show creativity, miroslav klose was just being overdependent on podolski,ozil and company. on the other hand his counterpart, david villa showed great resilienceWorld football has lost the kind of talent it used to have.No doubt Klose is a great striker but he lacked the creativity of ronaldo and zidane. Those guys were master of their trade. Not all the time they depended on easy passes , infact they showed their goal creating abilities as and when it was required.The kind of charisma guys like ronaldinho, rivaldo , lewis figo , ronaldo , beckham, thiery henery , zidane , micheal ballack, oliver kahn and vierra had , is missing in this world cup.Those guys were idols in their facets.But we can hope for the magic to return, we can hope that by 2014 , young talents of today will become big names.
