This phrase was used by both sides before today’s World Cup 3rd and 4th place play-off between Germany and Uruguay with both teams suggesting they would take the game very seriously and try to win it by attacking – by going for it. The game was an exciting, open affair with the Germans winning 3-2 and the game was a great spectacle as both teams had gone for it. To go for it.
