Germany 1 - Ireland 1! Germany scored a goal 19 minutes in, and for the next 73 minutes Ireland did an incredible job of holding its own and really giving Germany a run for their money. Ireland came very, very close to scoring several times (without actually managing to score), until the very last minute, when all seemed lost - and then Ireland got its goal! I just couldn’t believe it - my eyes actually welled up. I think I’m going to dye my hair green and dance around to Irish music for the rest of the day.
