Germany just lack some blade sharpness to cut through. Play well enough, but not as effective as previous iterations at this moment in time.
Maybe it’s because I’m learning the language and love Lisbon that I don’t get the vitriol for them on here.
I don’t think this German team is much cop but I guess we will see
Germany have no recognized striker or consistent/legitimate goal threat at the front. There is quality in that side but like you say Magnus very little sharpness at the top.
Unlucky not to get something from first game and unlucky to be behind here. Lacking a bit of sharpness up front I think.
Kimmich outstanding ball in but yet again, forwards just coasting and not attacking the goal.
Yes, they don’t look like any sort of favorites so to speak. Of course, it is possible to play one self in form in such competitions, others have often done that before after all. But I have a sneaking doubt concerning Germany’s strikers and offensive midfield suddenly taking more of their chances.
In any case, to advance at all, a point here will probably be needed.
Agreed start to finish. And highlighted this part for extra emphasis. Germany must come away with something from this match. Must.
Germany equaliser Havertz.
Beautiful goal!!!
Lovely goal that. More goals please.
Gosens is such an underrated player.
Woooooohoooo really good move
Silva was very strong there, won the duel. Portugal’s offence is honestly scary good. When they come forward.
And there we have a super important equaliser !
It was actually an own goal.
Yeah seeing that now on the reverse angle.
Pepe is another cheat.
I don’t care who scored it tbh, Gosens did so well again.
Doesn’t really matter when the quality of passing in the build up means that if Dias doesn’t put it in his own net, Havertz puts it in.
He had no choice to intervene though. The pass and movement was finally good enough for Germany there, and so he had to stick a foot forth. And then these odd deflections often happens
BOOM! 2-1 let’s go boys!!!
