Remember the 2-1 R16 Germany vs Mexico game. Was quite a nail biter. So was the Confederations Cup game in 2005, where a 10 man ( Hanke) Germany won 4-3.

I'm hoping for a relaxed win here and not a roller coaster.

 

I think this will be an interesting match. In the 2017 CC we played on the counter against Mexico, but I expect that with our A-Team in the WC we will dominate possession.

 

Oh yeah I missed out the CC win last year. It was 4-1 but a lot closer than what the scoreline suggests.

I haven't seen a lot of Mexico except for in the Confederations Cup and some games in the gold cup. They play their backline quite ahead and focus on quick passes. Will make for an interesting contest

 

Playing a high-line against Reus and Werner is a recipe for disaster by the Mexicans.

 

it wasn't closer. Germany scored two in like ten minutes and then allowed Mexico to have the ball knowing they were not gonna do squat.
The Germans pretty much toyed with Mexico.

Dont think the German defense will stand a chance against Ariaga and Ariaga II

 

Ariaga? Isn't that what the road runner says?

 

Germany 3-0.

 

Best of luck to Mexico.

Lots of my sailor friends are nervous about this game so I am supporting them.

 

Germany 3-1 Mexico. Germans will dominate and Mexicans will inspire.

 

Do a yank a favor! Deutchland 3(at least) v Mx 0.

 

Go die mannschaft

 

Dont ever say die Mannschaft. It's a marketing slogan. Say Deutschland or if it has to be just say Nationalmannschaft.

 

Mexico isn't in great shape but this German team is for me weaker than 2014. Germans won't steamroll over Mexico. I see a dogged first half without any goals. Second half will be more open and Germany wins it 2-0. That's my view.
