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. | ||

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). | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

They might be young but surely not inexperinced other than a few dortmund players O_o 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. | ||
