Day 18: Germany vs. Algeria
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
are you serious? how many times have we seen the best team lose?
sorry but this reff is a shit house
Kroos just won't play forward... Schürrle had a clear run at goal!
Algeria's shorts a tad too tight.
On the bright side: Again no yellow. If we make to the semis vs Brazil at least we are full strength.
Arguably. But I meant in the context of Ozil being so shite. I expected him to put Draxler on instead of him.
Khedira is fecking shit.
Never ever. Özil will always play.
The German fans can say what they want about Khedira but he has been very good for them this game.
You just cannot see Algeria dragging themselves back into it.
Positives= We never bought Ozil.
Positives= We never bought Ozil.
Agreed, Townsend is absolutely exhausting and clueless. Just because a goal has significance does not mean it is necessarily brilliant. The cross takes a deflection and it clips Schurrle's outstretched boot! He has no idea what is going on.Spawny fecker, he's no idea what he's doing there, wake up Townsend
And is there anything more deflating than a goal in the first minute of extra time? Nice one, Germany.
Brahimi, pass ffs!
some algerian players lack of football intelligence
Neuer to score an own goal, just so he can save every Algerian penalty.
you are right, with just a couple of intelligent passes they would of had this game won.
Easy. Since the Algerians physically have been done already when he came on.
Feghouli hasn't actually played that well tonight.
Just like the Nigerians earlier. They had so many great opportunities on the break and couldn't finish anything.
Müller has been great from the 2nd half onwards.
Tad unfair.
That, and because it gives our midfield some variety, which it lacked completely before.
Schurrle, now that's a German footballer.
Indeed, but I guess that's what separates the good from the great.
And to think how many posters were crying cause we didnt buy him.
I'm surprised they have not subbed him off yet.
He really isn't. It always baffles me how people say he's shit. He might be a bit overrated but he's a very good player.
It works if Schweini and Kroos play a more defensive role and allow Khedira to roam. If Khedira is forced into a fixed position he can screw his team since he's out of position quite regularly.
Come on, France v Germany is a preferable QF.
He's been great the whole World Cup really. His passion for Germany carries him a long way.
You don't mess with ze Germans. If you find Neuer blocking the road, you stop and go back.
fecking Germans had to wait till extra time... screwing up my bets *hmph*
What is he good at?
Agreed. I think he's had a pretty solid game tonight. Nothing spectacular, but solid.
80% of what Schuerrle is doing is shit in fact. Nevertheless the media will celebrate him tomorrow as the only great one...
Is it just the in thing to criticize Ozil? I didn't get the memo
Don't think that's completely fair either. He's had a bad injury and chances are he's still somewhat regaining form. He's a great worker in midfield and he breaks up a lot of plays. He's not a pure anchor man though so that much I agree with.
Brahimi is Algeria's Raheem Sterling.
C'mon Algeria gives us pens
