Beautiful goal.

Germany looking agricultural so far. Just one pen scored against Japan.

Alba, even when he's past his best, is just so dangerous and gets so many assists.

I don't think he's been bad. He's actually had great 1v1 scenes. Just either fouled or they were away from goal. He's not been influential in the last third with the ball though. No player aside of maybe Olmo has been influential in the last third so far in this game though. Intense pressing takes that option away.
He has had way to many silly offsides.

Rudiger aside that back line is really poor. I'd move Kimmich to RB, you need one of the full backs to at least be able to attack. Hell I'd even stick Havertz there over the current ones

Hansi flick is overrated

Abysmal defending by Neuer. What was that?

I think Germany should shut up shop. They can't go into the Costa Rica game needing to win by more than 3. They know Spain will probably best japan

Haven't felt this depressed watching us since 2004. We're just not that good anymore, back to having a team full of average players.

Look at Enrique utilising his bench to full effect unlike a certain England manager. Honestly, is Southgate just stupid?
