THE ARTICLE
From http://www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com/world_cup_news_2010/germany_serbia.html
The upsets keep coming at the World Cup and Serbia
provided the latest one. They defeated 10-man
Germany 1-0 to leave Group D wide open. Perhaps
Germany were a little overconfident after winning their
first game 4-0 and seeing Serbia lose to Ghana.
Serbia’s Milan Jovanovic scored the game’s only goal –
a lovely volley in the 38th minute. The game turned in
Serbia’s favour a minute before that. The referee sent
off German striker Miroslav Klose for a second yellow
card. Neither of the cards seemed bad enough to get a
caution. Germany will look back at the game and
wonder how they missed so many chances. Lukas
Podolski missed a penalty and a number of other
German players really should have found the net.
Germany must beat Ghana in their final match to
progress to the last sixteen.
