Germany-Brazil ended 2-0 in the women's World Cup final
by Corina Ciubotaru

Germany's women soccer team won the World Cup this year, thus becoming the first team to ever hold the title for two years in a row. Not only that, but they managed to end an entire tournament without receiving any goals and that is something really amazing. In the final game against Brazil, the German girls showed how tactics and good defense can guarantee success against flamboyancy and energy. Brazilian star Marta could not score in goalie Angerer's net even during the penalty shot everyone was afraid of, and the game ended 2-0 on Sunday, with goals from captain Birgit Prinz in the 52nd minute and midfielder Simone Laudehr in the 86th. The Germans also broke the Chinese record for the most time without conceding a goal, with 619 minutes since Sweden last managed to score against them 4 years ago.After the game, each team left with hopes: Germany wants to host next year's Cup as a celebration of their amazing tradition and results while Brazil would like to get more sponsors and facilities for the women's soccer teams. Male players are widely known and renowned for their spontaneity and skill; their team is one of the best in the world, but when the women play, people don't pay as much attention. This is what Marta, the top scorer of the tour, and the other girls want to change, and they apparently have the full support of Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has watched the final on Sunday at 9 a.m.
