av3ry Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 How many of those starting are going to be playing in 2 week time though? Rossi maybe? Bonucci? It was effectively their reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astafjevs Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 De Sciglio, Marchisio, Verratti and maybe Giuseppe Rossi are the ones who will play vs. England - everyone else was a reserve IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EhvanHSV Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Germany weren't great today especially defensively, although I thought Durm impressed on his debut. It was also good to see Khedira playing another hour or so, as when in form he's quite important to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnterUsernameHere Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Germany weren't great today especially defensively, although I thought Durm impressed on his debut. It was also good to see Khedira playing another hour or so, as when in form he's quite important to the team. I didn't see the game but heard Khedira was his usual self - left the defence too exposed because he has absolutely no defensive discipline. Germany's injury problems are obviously a problem, but it's an even bigger problem if you rely on such a limited player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EhvanHSV Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 He was always going to be exposed, really. I just felt that, for a young guy who's only been in the first team squad for this year, he did well. He won't start, but as a young guy he's an alright backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astafjevs Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Germany's problem is the same as it's been for the last few years - defending. You can't defend like that and win a World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kontermann Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I thought Durm was exposed. The defence was a weakpoint and imo Durm did not contribute much and Moukandjo seemed to get the beating of him on several occasions imo. Durm was one of the best german players. Absolutely focused and playing as if he got 50 caps already. It wasnt his fault that the team didnt get going. Tough guy it seems, guys like him are needed in the team. And if he plays like that he is way ahead of Schmelzer (who almost NEVER contributes). He most of the time was in control of Moukandjo (apart from the one moment after that Moukandjo failed the one-on-one against Weidenfeller), so no worries about that.

Razzler Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 That was an interesting result, I thought. Was that a full Honduran side too, was it in Honduras? Weren't Cameroon a bit rubbish a few days back too and now a decent result against Germany? You can't take much from these friendlies though, unless England lose of course and then it's the worst thing ever. We generally get decent results in these matches before tournaments, it's the performances that are an issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Was at the Germany v Cameroon game last night. No need for Germany to press the panic button imo - missing Neuer, Mertesacker, Lahm and Schweinsteiger from the team and Podolski, Schurrle etc. didn't come on until the last half hour. But Cameroon were a LOT better than I expected... could easily get through their group 2nd behind Brazil when you think Mexico struggled so much in qualifying and Croatia are weaker than in previous years. You can get 9/2 on them qualifying for the second round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
