Oh my god what a bold sub.

Kroos and Ozil CM, they are already getting "coutnered" and being left 2 on 1 and 4 on 3. Now they have 0 defense minded midfielders at all lol

Wasn't it boateng who pushed forward too hard in the first half instead of covering the right back from kimmich who was returning from an attack leading to a good mexican chance. That seemed like a huge misplay from my point of view.

The issue with Kimmich is, that he is basically never part of the back 4. Always cruising around far up the field.

He had most assists for Germany, and with most attacks going over the right side, with Müller sitting there who is never driving any attack, it is all on Kimmich.

You could easily put Kimmich as RW and then place some real right back behind him. Then he could do his thing and the back 4 would finally have 4 players...

Yeah it's like Germany don't have a right back defending. He's practically playing as a rightwinger.

Yeah thats sums it up. Cross comes in from CB and the Right Back Kimmich is in centre of goal doing a bicycle kick ?? Lol

Yup, but he was there too when Mexico got those fast counter attacks. Especially the one 1v2 situation.

i am sure that is part of the tactic. E.g. marcelo does similarly for real madrid and then the central midtfielders are supposed to cover that.

I think the issue for Germany is that they haven't really adapted well to that strategy. Noone is covering each other very well and everyone is gambling hugely on trying to get tackles/winning the ball asap.

I do feel this is one of those games where Mueller suddenly scores a screamer though

Mexico can now do all the time wasting with injuries they want, because there will be the standard 95 mins anyway.
