Kimmich and Gossen absolutely destroying Portugal FBs I thought Portugal are playing with 2 DMs where are they?You forgot how they shithoused their way to the cup last time?
Well not defending on the wing.
Getting serious McFred vibes from this Danilo/Carvalho cm partnership. Workmanlike but not seeing any real quality on the ball there.
If we score the same amount of goals in the second half we have a chance.
Portugal will need a point against France or probably they will out with the current result.
They have always looked bad against Löw. At least no one has been sent off and Ronaldo hasn't cried yet.
Excellent half of football that
Their midfield is solid. Just that they are not working together. Whenever they get the ball they play like counter attack and quickly lose possession. Instead they should try to control the pace of the game. Play near final third.
Ah right, missed the replays
Still very vulnerable on the counter, I feel. Kimmich is visibly struggling to fill the space of two persons that our tactics leave him with.
Not really. They're goal difference is good so they'll be fine as one of the 3rd placed teams as worst case.
France defense is superior than Portugal.
Is the same defense than won France WC 2018, which is why Germans struggled against France.
It's a scouting pigeon.
It will be interesting to see if Germany bring out the pigeon again for the second half.
Bernardo silva is worse. keeping the ball far too long and kept making wrong decision. There are atleast 2 moments where he ruins Portugal's attack, first after getting the ball from Bruno rather than pass it straight to the centre (like Jota did) he tried to dribble it and second when he decided to pass the ball to Pepe instead of Bruno who is left unguarded on the edge of Portugal's penalty box.
I mean "Fernandsh" is correct but yeah, it's annoying to hear that thick German accent on top of it.

Souness the Premier League pundit talking about "Gundo Gan" 
He didn't have a regular season, but Fernando Santos decided to bring him anyway.
I think he should be substituted in the half-time for Renato Sanches. William is just too slow to keep up with this dynamic Germany. If team mates don't pass to his feet, he will lose the ball, because he just can't accelerate to reach the ball first.
I missed that Ronaldo show boat during the game. What minute was it that he did that? Crazy bit of skill in fairness
Portugal will catch them on the counter again I think. 2 2 draw
Tbh as someone with a hard last name to pronounce I appreciate when people try to say it properly, even if they say it wrong. Feel like it shows they're trying.
Germany also struggled against basically anyone but Latvia.
Yup, unlikely to go out because of that 3-0 win even if they lose two now.
see even the FwA's Player of The Year cant do much without proper help?
If Portugal lose today and Hungary beat Germany next (unlikely, but still) and France beat Portugal, will this mean Germany 3rd and Portugal 4th?
If Santos doesn't make any changes at HT this could get ugly. It's a systemic issue here, the German wingbacks are having a field day.
Sanches coming on
Germany have created chances, they just didn't score.
I'm talking about creating chances, not just scoring.
They created just a few against France.
Renato on for Bernardo it seems.
Wow he made a change.
Kimmich has been positioned like a winger, not a midfielder or even defender.

Sanches for Bernardo?
Nah, he’s the new wingback for Portugal
Germany sucks actually, none of their players have scored today
Danilo and Carvalho are a terrible double pivot. Worse than our two.
