German womans take revenge on behalf of their male counter-part

[self_shattered]

A ruthlessly efficient Germany tamed Brazil Sunday to win the World Cup final 2-0 with goals from Birgit Prinz and Simone Laudehr making them the first nation to successfully defend their title.

The Germans also owed a huge debt to unbeatable goalkeeper Nadine Angerer who saved a second-half penalty from World Player of the Year Marta, leaving the Brazilians numb.

The result meant Germany's watertight defence went through the entire tournament without conceding a goal.
