PBP: WC 2010 Semi Final - Deutschland gg. Spanien 07.07.2010 [R]

+1

 

Spain vs Germany, the epic midfield battle.

And here is where we need Kroos.

 

Should be a great match. I'm just happy that we are playing a good football playing side for once.

 

Exactly. But who will Kroos be potentially replacing?

 

Good luck guys, we finally meet a team wanting to attack since the Chile match.

Hopefully a repeat of '08!

 

Muller...

Or Kroos will be replacing Oezil, and Oezil will replace Muller.

 

Where is the Prinz?

 

Did you sleep last night?

No way prinz Poldi i out.

 

i don't kno why u would change a system that's been workin so well, so just slot some1 in for thomas. why, oh why did the ref have to give the most unintentional handball in the match a yellow and not others??? sigh!

 

Yeah, that yellow, if anything should have been given to Messi.

Why can't we appeal that yellow??

 

I'll say this, if Del Bosque starts with Torres again then you will win.

 

I believe Muller will be replaced by Troche - this will spell disaster for germany as he does NOT bring to the game what Muller does. Wonder if Loew is gutsy enough to move Oezil to the right wing and Kroos as AM. Loew can then still bring Cacau or MArin in a little later. Also wondering if Jansen will play for Boateng.

 

I agree. Take Mueller off and use either Oezil and have Kroos in or just go player for player and sub in Troch or Marin. Leave Poldi alone.

And BayernGirl, where is your "burnt chicken"???

 

I'm looking at the bright side. This way Müller will be hungry and rested for the final!

 

Spain have looked solid, but not scary. With the way we have been playing so far I think we have a damn good chance of getting redemption. We didn't even deserve to have been in the Euro 08' final IMO. We only played decent/good in the Portugal game, we play poorly for the most part otherwise. They have basically the same team they did at Euro except with an out-of-form Torres and we have a completely new team.

It is going to be epic, that is for sure.

 

any prediction guys?

 

No one can adequately replace Muller.

The amount of energy and work Muller puts into the game from defence, midfield and attack is insane, Ozil and Marin wont track back like Muller does, WHile I cant say much for Cacau

 

yep, i am with you on this...

but whatever happen in the semi, i will still be proud of this amazing team! and hope klose score 2 or 3 goals in the next two games

 

Cacau wouldnt actually be a bad idea in my eyes. He is in my opinion a very similar player to Müller in his style and has the finishing and passing as well. I think he could be adequate.
