Not unthinkable, even for a World Cup. In 1990, Italy lost in front of its home crowd to Argentina in the semi-finals of the WC.
Germany has always won the soccer world championship when it was host (only time: 1974). :-) Whenever Iran participated in the world cup, Germany became world champion. Germany never lost a game in the stadium of Dortmund (so far: 14) Ok, Germany never won against Italy in a world cup, so one series will break tonight.
Folks, I´m leaving this thread now, coz I´m going to Dortmund. I will watch the game at one of the large screen in the inner city of Dortmund, among hundreds of thousands fellow citizens.
DEUTSCHLAND WIRD WELTMEISTER!!!
