Did I miss something, my dear friend? I am not watching this game because I thought Germany would win easy, but China could even been winning. I will watch the next game anyway. I could not miss the debut of my country in the tournament
Your country is actually Galicia. Anyway, you missed a very intersting first half of Germany-China: Much more entertaining, I'd say, than the whole Frace-South Korea from yesterday.
No doubt the defense is weak, but China are counting on theirs. I think it will be a psychological defeat.
China is athletic and they are good at getting back, putting 8 behind the ball, and then often late in halves they can be effective at countering, as often happens when one team has a lot of the ball and is pushing forward for that goal and gets a little complacent. Germans getting frustrated, it seems.
China getting into the heads of the Germans. Don’t know what Popp’s complaint was other than her pitiful heel pass
It has to be the first time I've ever seen someone shoot the ball through the legs of an opponent jumping high in the air, but that's what happened on the goal.
