How Many Miles Will A Dodge Minivan Go

The Miracle of Bern / Das Wunder von Bern

After seeing the victory of the German box with a difference of 4 selection goals against Argentina in the quarterfinals for the World Cup 2010, I wanted to go back in time until 1954 in Switzerland that also played like the World Cup today.

This is and was a special day for the German people, because beyond being simply a sporting victory was the first World Cup won by Germany after World War II and a pass back to the international community.

For Germans, this was like a miracle, hence the title of the movie then I link them.
Just after 9 years of the end of World War II, self-esteem in tatters due to military defeat and the size of the Nazi-led military and estimagtizaría for many years the people of Germany to the world, because a group of crazy people in the military leadership.

A goal made the difference. It was not a goal either. We played the final of World Cup 1954 in Berne, Switzerland. And the opponent was none other than the team of Hungary at that time considered all but invincible. The German team then managed the impossible: win by 3 to 2 and keep the World Cup.
