They could fumble around with the ball in the box and force some corners but thats the extent of it. If you are a fan of a team and you are not worried when they play such a important game; either you're not a fan or there is something wrong with you. | ||

He was never great. What would have been crazy is him breaking WC goal record - individually hes just not that special. | ||

He is pure proof of what 100% hard work with like no talent can achieve in football. He should be the idol of every non götze child in the world. | ||

He may not be as flashy as a Balotelli, or Rooney, or Henry/Benzema, but he is and has always been incredible for the team, even before the 4-2-3-1 required strikers to assist the midfield in creating space and chances. He's still probably the most complete striker playing for the German team, and that's saying something. | ||

We played good, and I believe on another day we could have just as well won against Italy. Today however, Italy were the better team and deserved to win. There are some points we need to improve/work on however: -Our corners and free kicks are a joke ever since Löw is our coach (even though he is doing great overall) -Besides the first 2 games, we didn't manage to get our forwards (Gomez/Klose) into play, expecially not their aerial strenghts. -With Klose getting old (maybe he will still play in 2014), Gomez needs to improve further. But more important, we need more options, preferably with different playing style than those two. -I think Özil needs to feel more (any?) pressure for his starting place, maybe by Götze. edit: And while defense has been our main issue this tournament, I feel it is just a question of experience of the players we have. I don't see too much trouble there for the next tournaments. | ||

Not to mention Germany played against higher class opponents(except Spain), especially in terms of avoiding goals. Are you crazy? Germany didn't get crushed to the extent of 2008 finals, but they were dominated throughout. Not even close lol | ||

Germany was just too weak defensively to win a major tournament like that. Strong teams will punish the defensive lapses which happened again and again. | ||

Pretty much none of the corners were threatening, and Italy by rights could have added another 1 or 2 goals to their tally. | ||

Regarding your last point, why? I am one of those players who feel Özil doesn't play full strength outside tournaments for Germany and maybe is a bit of a diva. But 2010, 2012 he always plays as good as he can on that day. He moves a lot, goes all the way back to get the ball. He is perfect for Germany. Losing Klose will hurt Germany so much. So, so, so much. Ozil plays worse with Klose than with Gomez, thats a fact. Also there is no big striker coming behind in Germany. | ||

He's one of the hardest working strikers I've ever seen, that's why I always respect him and he'll always be one of my favorite players to watch, especially compared to guys like Gomez | ||

Germany had a lot of great chances, but failed to take advantage. Congrats to Italy! They really deserved it. | ||
