Being up 2-0 is such a terrific position to be in, Italy just have to play defensive and keep the lead, don't know if Germany can take this back honestly


Remember the Liverpool 3-2 victory over Milan in Champion's league in 2005. The same thing happening here would be epic


I dont remember this because it never happened ... atleast not 3-2 ..+ Show Spoiler +
.unless your talking about pens.


Haha, yeah. Must have been talking about penalties?

My bad, the penalty score misled my memories... But it still kind of the same

And yet, why is this unexpected?

Italy has a backline defense and keeper all of them bar 1 guy plays for Juventus, the italian champions, all have played together for a whole season, gone undefeated.

They got a true leader and talisman in Pirlo, an explosive Super Mario who looks like a man who wants to prove something and a returning Cassano who has always been one of the best players in Italy.

Vs. a young promising German team that lacks experience and a leader. And a manager who is several tiers under Prandelli.

Germany is very good considering the average age of the team

Schweinsteiger is not a world class player, Andrea Pirlo is and he has been for many years, comparing them is silly.

Germany has 7 people from Bayern Munich which were in Champion League Finals, a few good people from BVB who won the German league, 2 people from Real Madrid.

That's why people expected Germany to not play as bad as they do.

Oh, and we also got an "explosive Super Mario". If you know what I mean.

Schweinsteiger is like playing at 50% of what he used to be. I know hes an icon in Germany like Xavi Hernandez here but hes doing nothing in this cup.

Dont get me wrong, hes super good and i love watching him play, but hes not at the level i expect from him. Whats your point of view germans?

He's playing on a bad ankle.

Then maybe they should take him out? If playing on a bad ankle is affecting his game to the point where he is hurting his team, the coach should pull him -.-

Agreed 100%. I was just point out that Schweinsteiger didn't magically get 50% worse. It's definitely a mistake to play him (and Podolski for that matter).

what the fuck did i just read? germany will fight until the end and we will score twice. just watch and have faith


Having faith would not allow the doomsday predicting whiners to say "I told you so." So its not going to happen.

I feel bad for teams that have fans like that.


So you feel bad for any team? That must suck


Well tbh, none of the Spanish fans on the forum whine at all about their time. Even if they do its clearly not as pronounced as Germans. Nor do the Italians. Hell not even the Portuguese and their team outside the defense and a couple of people upfront wasnt even that good.

The whole tournament theyve been great and all the time its just not good enough. I think even if they were up 2-0 people wouldve had found reasons to complain.

Still they need to spread the pitch and they will Low is no idiot. They decide to take on the narrow Italy head on and go all like "our midfield is better than your midfield so we will take this ezpz.. clearly wasnt the case."

Thats the only real misstep for me.

I am pretty sure I have said this like ten times the last month already, but Gomez has scored ONCE vs the top6 of the bundesliga this season.

This means any team who knows how to defend has made Gomez useless and yet people praise him.

Everyone here has seen a football game where one team has bucket loads of chances and dont score, it cannot be explained, its just one of those games. Italy had that against England and got it out of their system.

Perhaps this game is Germany's "moment".

Spanish fans complain just as much as any other team. They were only down for less than 5 minutes in the first game of the tournament. They've had nothing to complain about.

Oh, and when you're the world's best team and have been dominant for the last four years you really don't get to complain about much.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

Yea i guess Italy is "cheesing" Germany here by actually scoring goals?


Nothing to do with the abysmal german defense ofcourse, its watertight!


Yeah only games where you can really be pretty sure that the winner is the best team is something like baseball or NBA where they play an insane series of matches against each other.

It seems pretty clear to me from this one game so far which team is better.

They are still young. Maybe they have played many important matches in their club teams. Carrying your whole nation on your shoulders is a whole different story.

Germany has won 15 in a row and dominated the tournament up until today. Not much of a difference if u ask me. Theyve had nothing to complain about till today either.
