Orzelek Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Good game - Mexico have been really good so far. As for Germany - something needs to be changed in the halftime. If I was Löw I'd put Süle in for Hummels, as Mats is haveing a total offday. Also put Reus in - either fro Draxler or the lazy Özil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubos Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Mexico could have been 2 or 3 up with some better decision making. Wow. I think they won't be able to keep this energy up in the second half and Germany will still sneak this 2-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

av3ry Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I think he meant 1990 maybe. Hirving Lozano must absolutely loving this game all that space he has.

toon_84 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Germany need a rocket up their arse. Throwing their arms up and shouting for a decision constantly. If they played football instead of rolling around and throwing their arms up after every tackle they might win this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Quote The last time Germany conceded first in a World Cup match and went on to win was back in 1998, versus Mexico (2-1). One for the gamblers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astafjevs Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Can't be blaming Boateng and Hummels when Khedira and Kroos are nowhere. Only so much they can do - keep attacking defenders like that, they'll get through eventually. Khedira shouldn't be playing in a two like this. Needs to be benched Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggaeBwoy Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Ozil should come off. Especially against this counter-attacking side. What a joy it is to see a counter-attacking team like Mexico. The way Germany play is suited for Mexico. Really, they should be 3-4 goals up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I don't think Lineker meant Germany won the World Cup in 1998 , he was meaning that was the last time they conceded first and actually won the game in a World Cup was back in 98. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhikapp Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Kimmich is being exposed so badly here, but it's definitely Low's tactics of pushing him into an auxiliary winger and leaving him with no particular cover at all. Lozano is showing why he's am FM wonderkid as well. I'm just a bit surprised Mexico are targetting Kimmich more than Plattenhardt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the concept of Germany only started after Prussia grew, and France only became France after the territory was separated from the rest of the Frankish realm. But I was referring to the territories being united under a single ruler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're targeting Kimmich because he's the one who is getting forward constantly. Kimmich is such a threat going forward so I can see why they want him high up that flank but why Khedira isn't covering him I don't know. Just shift over a little.
