Kimmich is one of, if not the best central midfielder in the world currently. Why would anyone shift him to a full back role.
Goretzka for Gundogan would add more bite. That's really it

Süle is a CB playing RB and it shows. Raum is pretty good for matches like this, but generally a bit suspect defensively
Normally its one of Musialas biggest strengths to finish very precise and calm. I think he's bit nervous today.
musiala..how much does he cost?
Way better than Pedri and Gavi for me.
He definitely seems to be. He wants too much sometimes imo
This Japan keeper is as bad as the Qatar one. Stupid decision making.
I'm quite disappointed by Japan's lack of general tenacity.
Why and how is the ref whistling for offside before the linesman lifts his flag ??
The keeper having a stinker
musiala..how much does he cost?
Considering he's been Bayern's best player this season and is still only 19, probably billions
Let's look at that Mitoma hype then!
Very young, first world cup. Only natural that he would be a bit nervous.
Japan midfield-2 has been very disappointing, unable to hold the ball at all
Mitoma on, about fecking time.
Off topic, but really makes you appreciate how outrageously amazing Rooney was 2004
Really don't think there's any sum that would make Bayern sell him. They're not a bank, they don't need money, they need outstanding footballers.
A travesty Gavi won the golden ball over him. Pedri fair enough, though he won it last year. But Musiala is a ridiculous footballer
Germany should be really up by 2 or 3 goals.
Gundogan has been brilliant. MOTM so far.
Yes, but penalty takers have now gone the opposite way.
They know keepers are gambling early, so they just wait then kick it to the opposite side. I've never seen so many penalties roll into the middle of the goal with barely any speed on them.
It goes in patterns, and keepers just need to be brave and stand up a little longer. I'm certain they'd save more doing that than gambling early at present.
I suspect most midfield 2s would similarly struggle against this German team
This Germany is begging for a striker.
Japan can’t cope with this German press. Constantly giving the ball away in silly positions.
Unbelievable this game is still relatively open with just 1:0. They really need to work on their finishing or they have no chance against better opponents who won't grant as many chances. Japan is very weak.
Time to bring on Füllkrug, the most likeable guy on the team
Germany have been ridiculous here but somehow it's only 1... Could bite them in the ass.
What a move son
Musiala is such a baller, my god
Musiala is such a baller, my god
がんばれニッポン！
Eh the finishing will even out. Wouldn't worry about that.
Same old Japan awful in the final 3rd
Absolutely. Rooney was something else
I can never decide if Havertz is actually pretty good, or pretty shit.
Not convinced by Havertz tbh. Rather play Füllkrug at this point.
I think it's a worry if a team dominates like that, creates as many chances but isn't able to score from open play, yet looks so weak defensively itself.
The feck was that from Rudiger. 
Rüdigers running always cracks me up
So many missed chances. Klose would have a hattrick by now.
Most cases, if you're not sure about that, it's the latter
Rudiger!
Recently when I watch Football games, I think about this sentence that coaches used to tell us, "the ball travel faster than the legs". Is it me or way too many players don't follow that logic and try to carry the ball way too much in situations where a pass and move is the obvious and easier option?
