The match is far away of being a top one, but now France scored. My cup match was much better today ;)
And it was a huge keeper mistake.

Algeria is making Germans worry.
Question to the germans on the forum: Why is Lahm keep being played in defensive midfield? Does Low hate him at fullback? Because playing 4 centerbacks in defense is cause for concern. Boateng has played decent at right back, but still not as good as some of your bench can play. So why is Lahm not playing at fullback?
Not a german, still can answer: Looks like Lahm is playing fine at DMC also they have no one else to play there. Boateng is a VERY GOOD RB.Quote:

Well, our coach is stupid, n lahm plays that position in Bayern as well, our coach just likes this idea with the 4 dc, but it would be better having khedira n Schweinsteiger there with kroos in front of them.
No on else, we usually play with kroos khedira n Schweinsteiger we have 3 actuall dmcs in the team, and mustafi only plays cause hummels got ill...
Normally would be lahm at the back n khedira n Schweinsteiger, we always played like that, now as lahm is midfielder one of the original dmc only is benched. We don't play well, but still ok
Im aware of todays game. Its not just this game for Lahm though, Lahm playing okay, but okay is not good enough for Germany. Im saying Khedira in DMC, move Lahm back to fullback. Boateng is fine, but Howedes hasn't impressed me at allQuote:

Khedira has been injured for the most of the season and performed quite poor in the last games that's why he's benched. Gotta agree on Howedes though, even Jansen could do better.Quote:

Yes n that is why lahm is playing dmc if khedira n Schweinsteiger well it's them who's playing. And höwedes is alright, its mustafi no german understands why hes playing at all, we have 2 much better bvb player benched, but our coach surprises use very time
We have grosskreutz n durm from Dortmund benched n a nice guy from Freiburg, but they dont play, don't ask why...
Seeing as I am a BVB supporter, I know all about Durm, and would love to see him playing. I just think if Germany is playing sloppy it would help to put people in their natural positions (Technically I would not consider fullback to be Durm's natural position though)Quote:

Durm is a dl yea, n grosskreutz can play everything and ginter from Freiburg who will be soon playing for the bvb is a better dr than mustafi but it's alright, we ve just conceded 2 goles from Ghana n nothing else, can't see many teams with less goles than us...
Durm used to be a striker, so I was going to say put him in to help in attack, but it looks like you guys got it going nowQuote:

Yeah I was going to say, hope Mustafi will be okay, but that sorts out the situationQuote:

Neuer... What an amazing defender! lol, a true sweeper to be exact :D
I would bring klose today it's not müllers game... If we go extra time he still good for 30 min..
And then Klose gets the game winner and breaks the record?Quote:

That's a medical first....knocked out by ball hitting hand. >.<
Neuer for defender of the game?
They are not many gk who have these skills to really be a active part in the game, he's awesome.
If only FIFA.com statistics page wouldn't be down would like to see the area covered by Neuer in this game :D
Well I have to give Algeria credit, they have played a great game so far
Yeaaaa finally, Zidane style haha cool goal
Lets see if Algeria can answer now
Crap.. And the most useless player had to score -.- a very skillful goal though, gotta say that.
The african teams Algeria n Nigeria represent their continent very well, but i think on Friday we have a classic coming up with Germany vs France, i don't feel now we still could lose the game.
You know what's the worst? When they play so well for that long time into the game... I get my hopes up that algerians can really make it happen and then they blow :(
That's why u probably have in the quarters besides costa rica n later in the semis always the usual suspects, cause like us o France brasil, Netherlands, we sometimes play all **** but still win these crucial games....
N we take on France n Netherlands beat costa rica so once again at least 2 Europeans go semi, n people talked what's wrong with Europe haha hilarious
Algeria has a fairly strong young part of the team. Maybe there's a chance of them going even higher in the next Cup...
If only Algeria's goal had come sooner, it would have made things a lot more intense
Poor performance from Germany, just a 2-1 but a victory is a victory and they are in the next round :)
Costa Rica
Colombia
Brazil
Netherlands
France
Germany
4 top teams are there, tomorrow maybe Belgium and Argentina.
The quarters could also have been Algeria vs Nigeria but its Germany vs France, going to be a nice game, looking forward. Now i gona sleep after taking a last look at my t11 team, tomorrow morning i have a cl match waiting, hope i do play better than Germany tonight haha
Y'all wanna hear some conspiracy? Versus Portugal Muller played with low shin pads and short socks. versus Ghana with regular socks/shin pads. First 90 minutes vs Algeria he also played with regular football socks then CHANGED to short and gave an assist to Schurrle. It's in the socks! :D Check the match pictures I'm not even joking.
Today s games short story, i hope the USA beats Belgium, its not impossible n im a fan of klinsi haha so, way to go. Argentina beats Switzerland, don't guess the result, but i think they do
Yesterday France only played during the last 20 minutes but against Nigéria was enought, better change something against Germany or that can say goodbye to the WC.
Germany vs Algeria, was a very good game, Algeria study very well the German team and almost made a surprise, but Germany even not playing always at there Best, have a very strong team and also a wonderfull bench, they have a lot of solutions.
Today only a miracle could make Switserland win against Argentina with Messi in good form, i think it Will be a very unbalanced match.
Belgium vs USA would be a very balanced match in my opinion, but i think Belgium have more chances.
That's what happens when they play Giroud... Just let Benzema and Griezmann and everything will be fine.Quote:

No, didn't forget but who was the opponent? Haha, under normal circumstances Switzerland goes home, but what's normal haha. And in Germany i hope lahm now plays dr, so we here in Germany don't need to talk about mustafi, Schweinsteiger n khedira dmc, a real dl and then better and yes it's about time to bench özil, it really is...Quote:
