Lineup out

Kimmich -Boateng-Rudiger-Hector
-----------Rudy--Kroos
----Muller-----Reus---Draxler
--------------Werner


I would have dropped Draxler for Gundogan

Why is Reus central instead of Mueller?

I'm just happy Khedira and Oezil aren't in the lineup! Not a fan of Draxler starting either but I guess we can't always have what we want

Rudiger needs to keep it simple none of those risky plays

No Hummels to blame today. Boathand with stupid tackle that should have resulted in a pk.

Just pree that phool Rudiger. Under no pressure whatsoever! If not for Boateng there

Boateng with another block. Jesus Christ

If players dont lose ball in risky area and they will start asking Boateng to come and cover them

Great block from Boateng

If Neuer has a stupid mindset of not covering for calamitous defenders like Boathand, he wouldn't be a legend as a Gk, he wouldn't have saved that attempt by Sweden.

It was Boateng who chased and put the attacker off balance in the first place thank God he has pace unlike the sluggard Hummels

Rudy the only DM now off. Looks like Germany might be crashing out of group stages for the first time

Toooorrrr!

Let's blame Hummels for this goal.

That was the fault of Kroos who lost the ball in the middle like Hummels did vs Mexico

If Hummels didnt have that disaster vs Mexico we wont be in this spot

No Modric to bail out Kroos today

Banana don turn iron.

Bring back coefficient

Wetin dey happen.

But these Swedes are the most technically limited European team i have watched at this tournament.

We go know today if Joachim low hair na real or na fake this nite.

Dayo shey na 2-3-5 formation Germany dey play ni, abi W-M formation? No full back cover, no DM cover.

The DM got injured and Low insisted on playing Draxler instead of Goretzka to solidify middle

What about your full backs? Kimmich and Hector have forgotten that they are defenders first and not wingers. This Swedish team is fecal and dey still dey pieces una defence like this.

If Boathand wasn't moving back twerking, instead of limiting Chicharito's options

Germany was building attack and the full backs have moved forward to receive the ball before Kroos gave it away and didn't recover in time

Very technically limited. They leave a lot of spaces for the Germans to whip in better crosses, but Germany never take these chances. Germany should have equalised by now if they were playing well. This is the worst German side I've seen in a decade.

Hummels should not be spinning like okoto on the field in the first place which is why the coach manufactured a David Luiz injury for him

I am not talking about the goal. It has been a recurring issue with the team even in the first match. Full backs too far forward and no DM cover hence the susceptibililty to counter attack.

Sweden don't close Germany down fast, the Germans should take advantage of that. There's no urgency in the German's play as well. They're all over the pitch without any sensible idea of what to do with the ball.

Goal Reus

Is just me or the Germans are not cutout for possession ball, full back are far up the pitch, I don't understand playing high line with snail center backs that can't run.
Those minutes then they were defending with 10 men they looking bit dangerous on the counter maybe they need they to change their strategy they are gradually losing their identity.

The Swedish midfielders especially Forsberg have been a disappointment, trapping and passing the ball like it is water melon they are kicking.
