Women footballers!
Football championship, and if it is world championship, is always a festivity. There is always the ferocity of instinct submerged in the players to outsmart the opposing teams; immensity of expectations in the minds of the spectators in the fields and beyond: the whole earth, as it appears, gets enveloped into some flares of festivity. That very sense of festivity in the minds that actually triumphs over the literal wins or losses comes wrapped in, in essence, in the frames of jubilation.

The record making German team that beat a fiery Brazil 2-0 in the women football championship 2007 tells the tale in the same spirit! The flamboyant Brazilians went down to The German team as Martha, Pele in skirt, missed the penalty shoot-out that could bring the equalizer. The samba dancers had the sting of bad luck as two of the shots hit the opposing goal bar.
However, many records have marked the championship this time: maximum time without conceding any goal619 minutes in German possession that was earlier 442 minutes in China's possession.
This world championship triumph of the German team over the Brazilians, though in the women section, brings forth, in vivid colour and climax, the sweet sense of a revenge of the event that took place in the world football championship 2003 (Man's), where Brazil outclassed Germany 2-0! (Brazilian superstar Ronaldo scored both the goals).
Amazing had been the skills, fitness and the killer instinct that came wrapped in with every single gesture of the players on the field that, of course, undermined the age old sense of man-woman barrier! (Considering the spirit). Congrats to the winning team and all the participating teams as well …
