...Iniesta played one-touch, or took a rest while the fullbacks Sergio Ramos and Joan Capdevila pressed the attack. The Germans were very well prepared - when aren't they? - but the men in the white shirts were not up to the task of stopping Torres, who torched Philipp Lahm for the Spanish goal, and had Germany's back four dreading the thought of defending one-on-one against...
...quite understandable that Germany ultimately prevailed, 3-2, against a team that lit up the tournament. The high-flying Turkish circus only folded its tent in the 90th minute when Germany's left fullback Philipp Lahm collected Thomas Hitzlsperger's return pass through four Turkish players and slammed the winner by Rüstü Reçber. It was one of the few moments that this disciplined team broke down. Terim may rant on the sideline as though somebody put tacks in his trainers, but his team never varied from its approach and never, ever, stopped working...
...Germany from the opening whistle - take note, Spain - and Kazim Kazim's smash off the crossbar in the 7th minute served notice that even this makeshift team was going to be a handful. The Turks abused the German outside backs all night, often getting into deep positions behind them.

His awkward, sweeping attempt fooled Jens Lehmann, and the German keeper fumbled it into...

So it seemed just as inevitable that the answer would come soon enough, in the 86th minute. Once again, Sarioglu undressed Lahm on the outside and rolled in a cross that Semih Senturk steered past Lehmann. This time, though, Lahm would have the riposte and Germany would be in the finals again. "I'm sure that people in Europe will be talking about us," said...
...read in the evening Star about an airplane demonstration. He mooched 50 cents from his father and hopped the Washington trolley to Arlington National Cemetery. When he stepped down, he heard a strange sound, looked up and saw Orville Wright steer his Military Flyer above him with Lieut. Frank Lahm, one of the first military pilots, at his side. Garber ran up the hill to Fort Myer, where President William Howard Taft was witnessing the birth of American air power. Years later, Garber, by then a friend of the Wright brothers, acquired both their original plane and the Military Flyer...
