GWT: World Cup - Group E (Spain and Japan Advance)

[NyQuil]

Well, I was one of the 7 people who picked Japan to advance with Spain.

lol well that's not good

 

[SimpleJack]

Man this is such a shock. Who could have ever foreseen Germany failing at a major tournament. It’s not like that’s happened before….

 

[hockey20000]

wow lol this group is gonna be good

 

[bluesfan94]

Not sure if you try to not understand or just troll.

What a trolling take to say that I haven't seen a team play yet whose defense won't struggle against a good team.

Give your head a shake

Indeed.
My point was very clear. And the events actually proved me right. That German D is very shaky and beatable.

 

[cgf]

We really shouldn't have taught Doan & Asano so well in the BuLi

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

The last 15 minutes Germany has quite simply been the worse team. Absolutely could not handle Japan after their substitutions.

 

[SimpleJack]

Germany predictably is harmless up front with its meaningless possession and lack of finishing, and vulnerable as hell when opponents win the ball in any sort of transitional phase. This outcome would have been obvious to anyone who watched Germany over the last few years without blinkers on.

THANK YOU

FINALLY someone else who gets it and isn’t some homer German fan.

Yes, Germany's D is very shaky and beatable. That's hardly notable in this World Cup.

Germany has created a ton of chances and missed a second goal by a millimeter

Yup. Germany are a level or 2 behind the world elite. Anyone denying this is a liar/biased Germany fan.

 

[NyQuil]

I really don't understand Flick's substitutions either.

I mean, Muller sure, but the others?

 

[nickp91]

Takuma Asano's touch to control that ball was something else. Surreal. And what a magnificent finish to complete that move

lol stop making excuses. Germany look HORRENDOUS. This is an embarrassment.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

7 mins ST? why?

They were atrocious. Gotze? You’re joking right?

 

[NyQuil]

It's been like this all tournament.

I'm not making excuses; I'm not cheering for Germany. This isn't even the worse loss in the World Cup. Behave.

Yup. The defense is bad, and they lack true goal scoring talent. They’re a very average team at this point in time.

"Tons of chances". I missed the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half, so it must have been a hell of lot of chances in that time frame. Because ever since then I saw a Gundogan shot from 20 yards that hit the outside of the post, and an incredibly poor shot from Hofmann and a low % header from Gnabry. And that's it.

 

[Evilo]

Germany has a top roster though.
Lots of talent up front including new Messi, midfield is amazing and that D is fabulous with world class Sule, world class Schlotterbeck, etc... And the best goalie duo.
They really should be competing for the WC and I expect them to.

No but it’s the 2nd worst. And equally as pathetic.

You know what the problem is with having the best goalie duo….

Not equally pathetic at all. Just because you don't know how good Japan is doesn't change their talent level
