Motivational Speech

Al Pacino starts his speech with, "I don't know what to say really ...", and proceeds to say it perfectly. On the eve of Germany's World Cup semi-final against Italy one can only hope that the talismatic "Golden Bomber" Jürgen Klinsmann has similar words of wisdom for his inspired troops.

"Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I Mean one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches, that's going to make the difference between winning and losing."
