Germany had a real challenge in Game #3. They never seemed to get control of the ball. We watched from home as game didn't start until 9 pm on Sunday night. Every time we looked at screen it seemed that red uniforms of the Swiss dominated. It was in final minutes of game when the beloved Niclas Fullkrug scored the goal to cancel out Ndoye of Switzerland's goal and keep the host nation on top in tournament. The game ended in a tie but secured Germany a spot in the next round. Game #4 for Germany will be Saturday the 29th. I pray I am gone from Germany and on ship by then! But will keep cheering Germany on!

Interesting fact on Fullkrug, his nickname is Lucke ( german for gap) because of his front teeth. He once ended up hospitalized with the tooth of his teammate wedged in his forehead!
