https://footballfutbolcalciosoccer.blogspot.com/2016/06/euro-2016-best-xi-group-stage-round-of.html The Germans cruised through their group without ever looking their imperious best. They have quality all over the pitch and it is inevitable they will click and play a brilliant game (at least it should work out that way). The Slovaks have done well to get here, but they haven't shown much quality outside flashes from Hamsik. They are a limited team and would need to catch Germany off guard to have a chance to spring a surprise. Perhaps a test like the Algerians at World Cup 2014 in the Round of 16 lays in wait? Surely the Germans have to win this tie.

There will not be easy game for Germany. I think Slovakia has a beautifull chances to go through. German needs someone like Miro Klose. They will not be lucky in offence.
I think Germany is too depends on Gomez. If his game will not go right Germany has nothing. Loew doesnt know how to use Muller. That is key factor. May be there is a big dependes Germany game on the game of Bayern Munich, where Lewandovski plays well. Germany hasnt such a forward in roster. They will create lots of moments, but not anybody will finish an atacks.
IMHO Draxler plays much better than Ozil. Draxler can have a career better than Balack or Scholl. This match will reveal my opinon. Draxler is future of all European football.
I think that is big mistake of Kozak to play with Germany in their game. Defensive start-eleven could have far more chances for win. Kuzca in forward line is not so good as in Milans center. Slovakia trump is center bind Kuzca - Hamsik and Weiss forward in conter-atack. Cant undestand why Kozak made opposite desicion. To play such way is suicide for Slovakia. Ozil and Draxler will split Slovakia defence without forwads help.
Decisive mistake was not to get into first-eleven Hubocan. The best game of Slovakia was against Russia and they played here with 3 central defenders. Why Slovakia-team played then from deffense and now in attacking variant is a big question. They was afraid of Russia, but not so against Germany? Where is logic? I can not see.
Maybe I am just speculating here but they did beat Germany in a recent friendly. Maybe that has something to do how they approached this match. But I am just speculating.
Draxler was unplayable - best performance of the day by a player not named Eden Hazard. Hard to believe he is still 23, that is what happens when you've been playing at the top level since age 16. Ze Germans oozed class today and lived up to their favourite billing.
