Day 10: Belgium vs Tunisia, South Korea vs Mexico and Germany vs Sweden

Oh shite Sweden should have made more of that chance!
 
Kroos... You're nothing without Luka

More like nothing without Casermiro.

Not sure why Kroos is playing as the deepest midfielder, because he's not a holding midfielder.

He, just like Modric, needs someone like Casemiro behind them to allow them to flourish.

If you look at Croatia, they play Modric in a midfield three, with Brozovic holding.

Germany don't really seem to have a natural holding midfielder, though. More defensive box to box players like Bender, Khedira, Rudy, Can, etc.

That said, I feel if Low was to play a midfield three, with Kroos as an 8, he'd be perfectly fine.
 
Hopefully that will be Löw done.

I can't remember him doing that 100% of the time at Schalke, but he certainly hasn't conceded without complaining since he signed for Bayern.

Oh ffs, we lost to Mexico and have no plan to get a open shot against Sweden. You're kidding yourself.

This team doesn’t look like a „Team“ anymore and I am absolutely blaming this on all this bullshit.
 
Any half decent team that can slightly defend with pace up top will murder this German team on the counter.
 
For a team as highly rated as the germans, ive not seen a team so vulnerable or easy to counter
