Re: Champions Trophy begins in Kuala lumpur
so GER is the 2007 CT winner and GOAL MEDALIST, beating AUS by a lone GOAL scored in the 5th minute of the match.
Well done to Germany. Despite the 5-0 drubbing by Australia in the league game, they were the most consistent side in this year's CT.
Germany's lone-goal win brought back memories of our Golden days when Pakistan successfully defended a 1-0 lead against Australia (courtesy of a brilliant Hassan Sardar field goal in the 10th minute) in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Semi-Final match and then went on to beat Germany 2-1 (Hassan Sardar, Kaleemullah) in extra-time in the Final to claim Gold Medal.
