I dont think any of them cared.
Kroos played like shit too. It's easy to look at his goal against Sweden to end it and forget that the goal Sweden scored was because of a lazy ass pass by Kroos midfield that was intercepted.
All 3 games it was the same shit. They were just kicking the ball around as if they were up 1-0 playing against a superior team and just trying not to give up the equalizing goal.
All the possession in the world in every match and you can count on 1 hand the amount of actual goal scoring threats they created in any one of them. Their plan of attack was pathetic throughout.
How many of the 6 saves did the Korean keeper legitimately sweat over in this match? I can only think of one off the top of my head and that was Gomez's header that was struck well but ultimately right at him.
Had Sweden been given that penalty kick in their match after Boateng mauled the Swedish player, and could have easily been red carded right there, Germany would more than likely be leaving the World Cup with out a win when they controlled possession 70-30. [Reply]

Germany had so many excellent scoring opportunities in every game and rarely capitalized. Their defense against the counter was horrible against Mexico and S Korea and would have been the same against Sweden if they tried to score.
That's what stunned me. I didn't watch today's game. But the first two games, Germany absolutely dominated. They created scoring opportunities at will. It's just uncanny that they were so ineffective at scoring this tournament. [Reply]
Put your fury on Germany for playing like pansies this tournament. They have the talent to squash all of the teams in the group. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

I'm sure he doesn't care. His 2018 salary is 81.5 million EUR. [Reply]
