Marcelo told you so ...
But the Germans wouldn't listen. That stupid offsides trap - and a potential missed call by the refs - results in Wanchope getting behind the German defense and getting another one past Lehmann. (You can almost hear Germany's fans yelling "Kahn!!!!!!" for their backup keeper, Oliver Kahn, just like William Shatner in the Star Trek movie, or George Costanza in Seinfeld.)
So it's 3-2 now, in favor of Germany. And Costa Rica, which needs to limit its goal differential if wants to advance out of group play, has some hope. Heck, Costa Rica might still have a shot at tying this game.
