I really think were going to win, as much as we think we have played badly this tournament we all need to get behind the team and push them to victory. Auf geht’s Jungs siegt für Jogi und Torsten! Schießt uns in Halbfinale! Auf geht's DEUTSCHLAND!!!!
That patchwork pitch coult turn into a problem...the grass didn't have the time to root since the rainy Turkey vs Switzerland game.
They did. But that's also a problem, because the grass is now like a carpet above the ground. It didn't have time to root. There was just not enough time. So we could see some injuries because of that.
Looking good so far. Germany attacking early, dominating midfield and going for long distant shots. But Portugal is still always dangerous.
Nicely done by lahm...I already thought he'd screwed up but he's done a great job recovering the ball
