EA Smiles as England Sneak Trophy

A third consecutive trophy was not in the cards for Germany as they failed to lift the International Cup for the first time in the trophy's history.

Despite playing the much better brand of football, they failed to capitalize; and when the game headed to penalties, even the most cataract-ridden pensioner could see whose name would end up on the trophy.

The only manager available for comment, Germany's L. Prüitt was understandably reticent to concede defeat. "It's hard to say we deserved to lose that match. It may be even harder to say they deserved to win it. We forced a team with a superior squad to resort to fouling, and long ball tactics; and for that I'm proud. We beat vastly superior Spanish and Argentinian squads to get here, and we did it playing attractive football. Rene guessed right on that final spot kick, as well. Had we had any luck tonight, he saves that handily; but we did not, it was clear luck was only with one team this evening."

That win makes Burns the second most successful manager in the GIMP.
He now boasts two trophies (DFA Cup, International Cup), from 4 total finals appearances (2 DFA Cup, 2 International Cup).
Only Germany (2) and England (1) have ever won the DFA's International Cup.
