Germans are not playing like they used to. No pace, no attack. I wonder what has changed from 2014-2018 with the same coach

:Pgermany good bye...... come and support the super eagle. germany good bye...... come and support the super eagle.

Selective amnesia.
Brazil won 2002. You conveniently forgot.

Dont blame him
Blame d stoopid english press who keep twisting facts.
The same clowns dat said an average liverpool wee beat madrid

3DCYCLOPS:
I'm a Man utd fan but this Neuer ehn...this guy tops De Gea abeg

Who dey argue am before. De Gea na pikin where Neuer dey.

Ekaka1:

Neuer is arguably one of the very best in the world...I tell you.

Lol Ferguson passed him for De Gea i think..can't really remember though

Please what's wrong with these German machines? They could have easily been 3-0 down by half time, it seems the defending champions curse is on again, France won in 1998 went out at the 1st round in 2002, Italy won in 2006 and went out at the 1st round in 2010, Spain won in 2010 and went out at the 1st round in 2014, Germany won in 2014 and in 2018 they hmmm ? Do you guys think Germany is going out in the 1st round ?

There is no leader after Schweinateiger and Lahm retired

XVIER:
well I dont know of Julian Brandt performance last season.

Brandt is a very good player. Better than Muller but y he is on the bench, me I don't know.

AndriaRich:


True...
TBH, the attack is dull compared to the swedish side...

well let's hope they play well this 2nd half

Lightening is about to strike the 4th time.

Since 2002 winners of the previous tournament have always been embarrassed in the group stage save Brazil in 2006.

France won it in 1998 but couldn't get past the group stage in 2002. They lost their first game to Senegal

Since Brazil won it in 2002, they are the only defending champion to get past group stage and win the first match of the succeeding tournament.

Italy won it in 2006 but were embarrassed in 2010 tournament in the group stage and losing their opening game.

Spain, the winner of 2010 edition followed the traditions of France and Italy by losing their first game in the 2014 edition and getting kicked out in the group stage.

Now Germany the winner of 2014 edition lost their first game in this 2018 edition and is only 45 minutes away to determine whether they will be kicked out of the group stage like their European predecessors.

Is this a new curse for defending champion of World cup?

Also worthy of note is that no holder of FIFA Confederation Cup has won the world cup and Germany is the holder of FIFA Confederation Cup.

maverickdude:
Pace with the way the swedishs choked their defence? There is no nothing pace can do for the germans in this match

Iceland choked their defence, what happened at last? Forget that defence choking thing, if your attack is good the nonsense defense will open by force. It took Brazil almost 90mins to realise that slow attack pattern is dead on arrival in their last match.

XVIER:
well let's hope they play well this 2nd half

I don't...
Let's KO the last WC finalists...

XingXhang:


This is what is called EVIL PATTERN!

na prayer point be dis for mfm

Muller have experience.. experience win games for you most times.
He might come on second half though

Germany not a contending nation this world cup

Ekaka1:

Neuer is arguably one of the very best in the world...I tell you.

Arguably? Are you sure you know the meaning of that word. Neuer is the best GK in the world, nobody dey argue am.

I think Low has been sniffing his ass much lately..or he better brings in Gomez for Muller, or Draxler. I've never been really convinced by that Draxler, always looking a bit less.

AndriaRich:

We go chop their eyes...

them no go believe am. we go nak them tire

And you think the key to unlock that is pace?

1998: France win the World Cup.
2002: France eliminated in group stages.

2006: Italy win the World Cup.
2010: Italy eliminated in group stages.

2010: Spain win the World Cup.
2014: Spain eliminate in group stages.

2014: Germany win the World Cup.
2018: ___________

In 2002...many French players were playing in European top teams...and naturally were exhausted from too much footy.(ok..na excuse...but some merit in it ). Plus some key players were injured.

Italy 2010....they had lost several of their 2006 players to retirement...and the new guys were not up to sctatch.

Spain..same thing in 2014.

Now let'sgo back

Germany 1990 winners, 1994...quarterfinals.
Argentina 1986 winners, 1990...second place.
Italy 1982 winners...1986...second round.
Argentina 1978 winners, 1982 second round (they took Maradona out. Nuff said)
W.Germany 1974 winners, semis 1978.
Brazil 1970 winners, semis 1974.
England 1966 winners, 1970 quarter finals.
Brazil 1962 winners, 1966 first round (they took out Pele, nuff said).
Brazil1958 winners, 1962 winners....

yea, but didn't dey win the confederation cup in 05. That's also a curse also as Germany are current holders. That might be working against them too

letterman:


bear

Thanks

AndriaRich:


Are you kidding me?
Sane got no pace?

he doesn't have pace than draxler that I'm very sure.
Sane is a good player no doubt but comon I know what he played for Germany... If you remember when he was plaiting his hair he was trash and selfish at German squad... Thank God for gardiola

coalcoal1:

no team has come here to joke... no team should be taken granted. Germany really needs to change tactics..... almost a goal for Germany
