I feel like I've been watching the same Germany game for a decade. Could splice in footage from some game from 2012-13 and it'd be the same runs, the same player positioning etc.

If they played with this much movement and energy for Jogi, I wouldn't have spent so much energy b****ing about the nose-picker.

Listening to this Austrian commentator talk about how Süle 'casts a shadow when he stands next to you' was hilarious

Still going very well so far. Just a matter of time before Germany gets another. I don't discount their ability to give Japan a fantastic chance off a blunder.
World football has been completely tarnished and ruined by the offsides rule. It’s so bad. It’s beyond words. Who in the living hell wants to watch this sort of BS? Every match 0-0. Every goal is called back/disallowed. It’s INSANE.
First of all ANY goal that comes off a rebound/deflection should count, regardless of offsides. Offsides shouldn’t matter unless it’s absolutely egregious. And the second there’s an attempt on goal if that ball gets saved/rebounded or deflected to another player and they score it shouldn’t matter who is standing where.
WAY WAY WAY too many goals/scoring chances getting negated by the worst and most boring rule in all sports.
It was already bad enough. But now that they don’t even use the feet and they count any leaning body part it’s become laughable. It’s so unbelievably lame. Who can possibly enjoy this? What a horrible direction this is heading. I’m not watching the remainder of this tournament. Too boring.

The offsides rule is going to determine the winner of the World Cup. Not skill. Not tactic. Not coaching. Not anything else. The matches will all be decided by the offsides rule and who can set the highest line of defense. Yippee!! What an exciting set up! What an amazing way to play a sport. So entertaining.
Have fun watching your 0-0 draws, VARs, and your video reviews. Gonna be a blast.

I've liked Raum, he's best chance was when Gundogan took the shot instead of passing to him wide open ten yards away. Obviously caused the PK, and also set up several crosses. Havertz and Musiala look one half touch away from the score sheet.

Neuer has to be the most mobile fossil that archaeologists have ever discovered.
They’ll probably combine for 3-4 goals in the match. None of which will actually count.

I keep expecting to see him in the VAR room when they show that camera shot.

It's cute when nhl fans act like football needs to learn from ice hockey how to be popular.
...haven't been watching the tourney much, have we?

I'm really glad Raum has continued his NT instead of bringing his club form with him to Qatar. He's been a mess for Leipzig so far and nowhere near as integrated in their attacking play.
Kai & Musiala are buzzing nicely so far. Feels like both still haven't fully gotten out of 1st or 2nd gear, but they are close to brilliance whenever the ball gets near them.

For real. It's been just 50 minutes and we've already conceded soo many goals. We're just not on the level of the favorites like England, Argentina, & France
Cool for you to be overconfident.For real. It's been just 50 minutes and we've already conceded soo many goals. We're just not on the level of the favorites like England, Argentina, & France
Hopefully your players are just as much.
I'll add you didn't whine about me saying they'll score even though they had to be gifted a pen to score.
Germany will score? When?
They don’t have nearly as much attacking quality as the elite teams(France/England/Brazil).
Same old Germany. Lots of possession in the midfield. Not enough quality in the final 3rd. Not enough goal scorers. Gnabry is a notorious choker and Musiala will be quick to follow. These guys can dribble and dazzle and hang on to the ball forever. But come time to finish they lack the quality. Been this way for years and it isn’t gonna change any time soon.
