Has Germany ever come from behind to win a match so far? They always seem to score first and I get the feeling if Algeria score first, their complacency might hurt them.

Neuer knows how slow his companions are...

Our midfield is taking the piss. Kroos plays like someone slipped him some rufies.

I've got money on Germany but if Algeria win tonight I'll be happy for them. Definitely the more deserving team so far.

Kroos has been awful so far. Would still take him at United in a heartbeat, mind you.

I am not sure why teams are still using possession play style when it's been show pacey, direct football is superior.
That's a stupid statement, direct football isn't superior to possession football.

Its time for germany to bite the bullet and put Lahm back in his natural fullback position and put a real defensive midfielder in there, What brad friedel said in studio is happening, he is pushing too high up the pitch and leaving the pretty immobile central defenders to be out paced.

Even when they were breaking on the halfway line then I expected to see Neuer come haring into the shot :lol:

Can Löw please correct his idiocracy and get on at least one fullback? Even Khedira at CM and move Lahm to RB for fecks sake!

Neuer is the only keeper in the world that gives you the impression of covering the whole goal post.

Even if Algeria do tire out eventually and we somehow manage to create a chance and score: Any top team would have dismantled us already.

Klose, Draxler and Khedira warming up, so maybe you get your wish.

Klopp must be face palming so hard right now in Germany.

Well done he’s 13
It's gonna be so painful for Algeria when Germany win 1-0 with a deflected Muller goal in the 83rd minute.
