Author of the heroic goal for the German national team Toni Kroos celebrated an impressive victory against Sweden, but emphasized that Germany is currently divided into two camps. Sweden's team was close to eliminating the Germans from the tournament - they led throughout the first half, but couldn't withstand the pressure of the opponents in the second half: Marco Reus equalized the score early in the second half, and sensationally in the last added time minute, Kroos expanded the victory with a penalty kick. German national team fans triumphed after the late goal, but as Kroos emphasized, in their country, where the national team is criticized due to political beliefs, a good portion of people expected the Germans to lose. "I have a feeling that a good portion of people in Germany wanted the Swedes to eliminate us, but we were not ready to give them that pleasure so quickly," Kroos said. For Kroos himself, besides the winning goal against the Swedes, the match was not the most successful - he lost the ball when the opponents scored the first goal. "It was my fault, but that goal redeemed it, or am I wrong? Sometimes it happens. It's hard to always make 400 passes during a match and not expect one or two to be inaccurate. I know I made a mistake and will try to deal with it," added the midfielder.
