Pre-match: (EURO 2016 - Group Stage) Germany vs N. Ireland 06.21.2016 [R]

I hope N. Ireland go through. Great fans!

 

Only people saying this are mental midgets. Just blow them off.

 

Won the group and got 3 clean-sheet, but only 1 goal separated us from Poland... Oh well, I take it.

 

Most fans would have picked Kimmich at rb and Gomez up front straight from the first game, not waited till the third.

Why does it take 2 games for Löw to work this out?

 

Only 3 goals with this squad is shit. the resp players have been named

 

Finally Kimmich is played in a position that makes sense, and he delivered.

Great first half.

For the second half, I can't understand why Müller was moved back to the right after Germany created so many chances in the first half and Müller assisted Gomez's goal playing through the middle. With Müller on the right for almost the entire 2nd half the chances mostly dried up again.

Götze proved again there is no reason to start him.

 

Hes trying shit out while hes playing dogshit teams...

 

And getting shit performances while he does it.

 

it's pretty funny, before the Euros, everyone was like Germany's strength is their attack and their defense is their weakness but after 3 matches it's the complete opposite for us.

 

They have controlled every game and did what is necessary. This is a tournament team who will turn it on to the max when necessary. To many games to try 100 percent at all times.

 

Seriously, take a break. So tired of your bitching posts and looking down at others while trying to make yourself like a genius. Never used that ignore function, but really close now.

 

Gomez
"my job was to throw myself against those two oxes in defense
we saved the goals for the ko stage
many chances were outplayed well"

 

We havent been tested yet

 

Brilliant quote lol.

 

Müller
"in the first half alone I couldve out-scored Bale"

 

Lol

 

Löw
"Im not satisfied with the result
we shouldve been up 4:0 by half time
we shouldve have been more urgent
the runs in the final third were more but still not quite good
so we had to play more secure in the 2nd half
Boateng had problems with the calf and we didnt want to take the risk
Kimmich was decent and delivered decent crosses
Gomez was dangerous binding two opposite players"



Jogi is on fire

 

The attack looked much better but the finishing was dreadful. Credit to Gomez for breaking thru but Mueller, Ozil & Goetze have got to finish. Most disappointed in Mueller as he's known for finishing his chances.

Defense was never really tested.

Anyway, group is won by a whisker and we live to fight another day. I'd keep the same lineup for the next opponent.

 

Kimmich
"We were really good in the 1st half
We shoulve scored more goals
Löw told me yesterday I would play today
Everybody helped me and Im grateful for that"

 

Gomez had good movements and actually shot on target and helped drag defenders to him, which was good as it allowed the team to attack better and move more freely.

 

I'm feeling much better after this game than I was after the first 2. Sure, we should've scored more, but if we keep playing like this then the goals will come eventually - and, more importantly, our defense was pretty solid. Hard to argue with 3 clean sheets.

 

It was a good performance, credit to Löw for making some changes.

Hopefully for the next match he will keep Müller in the middle with the same lineup and swap Draxler/Schürrle/Sané in for Götze.

It was good to see that Schweinsteiger can play 20 minutes at a high level if needed.

Kimmich is a good option at RB.

 

Convincing performance, not a convincing result. Muller was great today, unlucky not to score. Ozil was again, a non-factor. Gotze was good on the left and as soon as he was taken off, the attack lost steam. Hector shouldn't start in my opinion he was the only negative to this performance. Dreadful crosses, horrible first touches, amateur decision making. Overall, this was a satisfying display but they have to get better at finishing.
