Final thoughts on the devastating defeat Germany rendered unto the Samba dancing Brazilians- crushed by a machine of such efficiency that it defied belief!!
ReplyDeleteGermany has been tactically sound throughout the tournament –but it's more than that. The Germans are always tactical. They have imposed their will on opponents for most of the past two decades; four straight World Cup semifinals don't happen by chance.
Should Germany plays like it did on Tuesday, it's hard to imagine Germany not rolling over the winner of today’s Argentina-Netherlands semifinal. The Germans are tactical, compact, poised, confident – plug in whatever cliché soccer or sports term that serves your fancy – but the fact is, they're just really, really good.
And Brazil is so much more than yellow jersey’s and #futball. Brazil will be fine.
