Post-match: WC M2 (group stage) Germany Vs Ghana June 21

@Lahmfan
The day has come and your threadcreateability is going to be tested. Angst?

 

Only 100% sure?

 

Again, Germany will have an easier route finishing 2nd in the group

Should really avoid France and Brazil as early as possible

 

I like this American mentality. But Germany did well with taking the easier route. WM 1974 anyone?

 

If they finish second, will play Argentina n Holland in quarter final n semi final)

If first, France n Brazil later on (quarter final n semi final

 

And it's not like 2nd place route would be easier. Belgium+Argentina+Netherlands/Italy?+Brazil?

 

No it doesnt. And I dont even think there is sth like aiming or playing for the 2nd.

 

Hummels starting.

Götze - Müller - Özil
Kroos - Khedira
Lahm
Höwedes - Hummels - Mertesacker - Boateng
Neuer

 

Haven't exactly followed closely, but is Schweini not fully fit or does Löw prefer Khedira over him?

 

Schweinsteiger is 100% fit but Löw prefer's Khedira over him due of match practice.

 

Tom Bartels commentator for ARD. It's always going to be tight game then. Last time he did: 2010 vs Ghana.

 

Match practice? Khedira just returned from an ACL injury about 2 months ago or less...something doesn't seem right to me here

 

Yeah, like Guardiola, Löw finds Schweini doesnt play the ball fast enough, or not as fast as Kroos.

 

Ikr. But Löw said it in an interview.

 

Ozil will need to be careful. Asamoah is a big threat from left back and will need to be tracked. Otherwise, team should look to keep the ball with this hot weather and make Ghana chase all game.

 

Okay Germany let's do this

 

I'll go with a 4-1 for our team.

 

Let's do this!
