1860 Prove my Theory

What can I say? The Mighty Lions proved my recent theory by dispatching top flight Hertha Berlin out of the DFB cup tonight. Yes, the Berlin side are currently propping up the Bundesliga 1, but they are also a Europa League team this season, and the result can be considered an upset. Of course Der Lowen made everybody sweat, earning themselves a two goal lead. The first was a gift, an own goal no less, but early in the second half, American international Kenny Cooper fired them into the lead, his pass being provided by the wonderfully named Kaiser. Hertha were finally roused from their torpor, and scored twice in quick succession to take the game into extra time. The next half hour proved fruitless for both teams, and the game was to be decided on penalties. This being Germany, you would have expected them to still be be efficiently dispatching spot kicks a week later, but the myth proved to be false, as Hertha missed not one, but two, to see 1860 through to the next round. Let's just hope they draw a decent team, as they always seem to fail against shite.
