FFS on about Pogba again
Day 18: Germany vs. Algeria
- Thread starter gooDevil
- Start date
They can't help themselves mentioning united whenever pogba comes up.
If the German or Bayern players do not know how to stop Arjen then something is wrong...
Algeria with a really really defensive set up. Will be a slow match again.
It is annoying.
big upset, algeria to win!Monday, June 30th, Germany vs. Algeria at Estadio Beira-Rio, Porto Alegre (9pm BST, 4pm ET)
Four CBs against Algeria should be fun to watch. Basically no overlaps on the flanks to help stretch a packed Algeria defence and a slow, cumbersome backline against a fairly quick and agile Algeria front line, especially Slimani and Feghouli.
That makes no sense. Would imply, Messi should be easily stopped by Spanish. Robben is in top form, even the best left backs would struggle against him right now let alone a make shift one.
I can see this being a close affair... Germans to win 3-2, or 4-2 with them settling at the death.
I haven't got the best feeling about this game. We will probably struggle with their rigid defense and be vulnerable to counters yet again.
Belgium played them with 4 CB's. You might have point...
Against Mexico Robben didnt get the ball that much, because Mexico pressed the dutch early during their build-up play. Sneijder was nearly invisible and van Persie and Robben where isolated. Of course it's difficult to stop Robben if he got the ball, but you can prevent him as good as you can from getting it.
Their defense isn't really all that too be honest.
Anyway it's all hypothetical now. I just think Low is digging himself into a hole. Heck, even France today attacked mainly from the right before Giroud came off. Valbuena supported by Debuchy is going to be a huge test for Howedes. He will need someone to hold a position before him.
All if Germans win today ofc.

We have enough attacking power on the pitch and we can bring on Klose and Schürrle as well, if necessary.
have a nice game @ all
Standard German 3-0 coming up here.
Too many (West-)Germans and Brazilians in the top end of that all-time top scorers list already IMO, time to get some Belgians in there
(a man can dream...)Algeria is the last African team left in the WC, will Africa be obliterated today as well?
At last some european weather...
So far, there are not more than 2 goals in any of the round of 16 matches. We are due one. I think this will end up as the highest scoring knock-out game so far. 3-1, 3-2, 4-1, 4-2 to the Germans.

Cmon Slimani our new gem Metzelder is going to have a hard time dealing with him.
Metzelder is going to have a hard time dealing with him.Err Dutch won 2-1
When did Germany turn into Spain? About the same time Bayern turned into Barcelona?
So many boos.
Probably meant that no team has scored more than 2.
of course. Metzelder isn't that fit anymore since he retired from football some time agoCmon Slimani our new gem
Germany to win 8-0 and send the Algerians crying back home.
Crikey what have they done to you?

Mustafi is probably the most german-looking person after Schweinsteiger, Neuer, and Muller.
JA DEUTSCH
Mertsacker sorry hehe
I think it will end up more like 3-0 or even 2-0. Algeria will be jammy all game and be quite resistant I think. Could maybe even nick a goal on the counter,
or immigration post 1945...oh never mind
WTF was the keeper doing
Neuer is brainfarting hard already.
Neuer is so stupid with his positioning sometimes
Neuer bored.
Holy shit...
Just what I expected: An immobile midfield against a rigid defense, no movement from the deep, mistake from Mustafi and already a very dangerous counter.
