I pray that Löw isn't going to play Mertesacker and Boateng. Boateng vs CR7 would be a disaster -_-

Well the problem is that he can play anywhere and his excellent with both feet and head as well. Low must be just telling Khedira to just follow him around or something. German defence is at the point of looking quite bad for competitive play - he really loves Mertesacker for some reason, really disagree with OP, saying he's good positionally.

I think there's merit for this game, with the threats of CR7 and Nani, both wingers capable of moving anywhere and the state of Germany's defence, to play Bender with Khedira holders, and dropping Podolski. Edit, or if Klose isn't fully fit, start with Podolski up front.

no way. even if germany doesn't make it out of the group stages, löw will stay. he has done an amazing job so far, 1-2 bad games won't change that fact.

The game against Portugal wasn't what people have come to expect, especially the last 20 minutes. The German team looked exhausted, which is highly unusual, as German teams are known to reach peak fitness in major tournaments.

The short preparation surely didn't help. Especially Lahm and Schweinsteiger did look tired or out of shape, and they are key players.

At least Hummels and Boateng showed quite convincing performances.

Are you joking? No title |= amazing job lol! #3 in the World Cup and #2 in the last EURO is a distaster and no success! With this team even Loddar Matthäus would be able to get Top3 - so Löw is a really bad coach and I hope he gets fired soon.

There are several national teams stacked with skilled individuals, your expectations are way off.

/facepalm
Did you know that germany plays this attractive offensive oriented style of football because of Löw? And did you know all the young talents were supported because of his idea of youth promotion?
Btw. I hope you aren't saying such things because just one BVB-Player played last match. I am a BVB-Fan myself, but this attitude towards Löw is just wrong ...

Oh yeah, i was pretty pessimistic for you Germans just on the basis of thought that Low would stick with Mertesacker but really glad Hummels got his chance and was very solid. I think you're over exaggerating - I've never read any hate directed towards Hummels, in fact, most German football followers have been praising him very highly and calling for him to partner Badstuber.

The offense seemed a bit lackluster versus Portugal in a general sense. Just passing the ball around waiting for someone to have a good idea or a nice move.I am not too worried about Denmark but the Netherlands will be a difficult opponent, especially now that they lost the first game.

I agree everyone knew Hummels was a great. The question was how well do they play together in this constellation that hasn't been tested often and only with meh results so far. To me it was only a matter of time. Hummels+Badstuber are probably going to be our centre backs for quite some time now.

Like his genious pass to Neuer which almost resulted in a broken leg for him? Or maybe just a goal for Portugal?

Hummels was ok and got better in the process of the match, but to prove that he can bring his very good play from the Bundesliga to international games he has to play at the level he did yesterday in the second half a lot more often. Also I feel his contribution to the attacks was very very limited, he has to get better in that regard.

Still I feel there is no big difference between the three players right now (Mertesacker, Badstuber and Hummels) and I think it was correct to let Hummels and Badstuber play, since Mertesacker was injured a very long time and didn't seem as good as usually in the test matches.


In general I found the first half to be very bad from almost every player. Hope they get better...

To be honest, I expected a little better play from Germany yesterday, they seemed rather struggling against rather weak Portugal. But it's only been 1 match, we'll see what happens further into the cup.

I realy dont care about good play, espacially after may 19th.. its all about winning which you do with a strong defense - without mertesacker our defense is world class, lahm didnt perform yesterday but he will which he has proven over that last 8 years.. boatengs defending is top notch, sure hes no right back and his offensiv quality is not existend, but thats expected.. we have the best keeper since kahn, our bench would start in almost every other team..

only löw has to not fuck it up, droping merte for the in every aspect better hummels was the first step, im scared of podolski and i hope we are not stuck with gomez after his goal yesterday, klose or reus would work much better in our team.. we can send top favourite netherlands home on wednesday, lets see how good its spain, maybe italy breaks their spirit today
