german critic

Die Mannschaft ist in der Breite zu schwach und deswegen auch kein Titelfavorit.

'the team is on the whole too weak and because of that not a candidate for the title..'

who said that?

an englishman
a dutchman
a german

probably a Dutchie like Netzer

A German, desperately looking for some sort of excuse

The Englishman will have said that the starting 11 wasn't strong enough anyway.

The Dutchman will have tipped them to still win the damned thing, because he knows that rigging the draw and getting the help of referees will get you further than playing good football.
