How I predicted a goal in the Germany-Denmark match right before it happened

In the 68th minute of this evening's match between Germany and Denmark at the UEFA European Men's Football Championship, Germany's Antonio RĂ¼diger passed the ball from midfield back to Manuel Neuer, and I said, "There's going to be a goal now." Neuer passed to Nico Schlotterbeck, who made a long pass over more than half the pitch to winger Jamal Musiala, who controlled the ball and shot it past Danish goalkeeper Kaspar Schmeichel for a 2-0 lead. My wife Andrea wondered how I'd called the goal, so I explained: the Euro app on my iPhone announces goals a few seconds before they are shown on the obviously slightly delayed television broadcast.
