Aside from being the all-time scorer, he is also holding the record for most semis.
His record of when he scores Germany doesn't lose still holds.

And what does he do after the game? The first thing he does?
Goes over to hug and speak to Brazil's coach.

I was at work.

And then I saw the scoreline and had to run next door with a coworker to make sure we were not insane.

And then go back to work.

And realize I was too neurotic and go back next door only to realize they'd locked the building and had to wait around for someone to let me in.

I am not so sure he proved us wrong per se - the BIGGEST change we have seen since Algeria is that he's gone back to our usual formation. Which I am thinking is partially because Schweinsteiger and Khedira are (hopefully) 100% now. So here's hoping.

I'm not sure about Schweini but Khedira was pretty much excellent yesterday. Even if he isn't 100%, he's definitely getting there. And I hope whatever made yesterday happen works on Sunday also (especially if it is against the Netherlands).
