Seeing Casillas so helpless after a season in which he only played a few games, i have a bad feeling about playing a half fit Neuer vs. Portugal. Could end in a disaster also.

Neuer is fine. He played the entire season! If this injury had happened in the middle of the season, he'd have sat out a game, maybe two, and nobody would have made a fuss. What is it about the World Cup that makes people so neurotic?

Nothing neurotic about that concern. It was a rather serious injury and he is lacking match practice. Neuer is not Casillas and hence far from being over the hill, but match practice is important. He needs to be at 100% from the start, and that is a risk.

Just shows the Germans have gone soft. What would Otto say about those photos? They are symptomatic of the feminisation of Germany, from which Die Mannschaft is not exempt.

With this mentality, that is shared by the Germany staff and even some players unfortunately, it's no wonder that we won't win fuck all for years to come...
http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/wm-2014-kommentar-zu-deutschlands-titelchancen-a-975342.html
Kommentar zum deutschen Team: Der Titel ist kein Muss
Dreimal hintereinander hat es die deutsche Nationalmannschaft zuletzt bei einer WM mindestens ins Halbfinale geschafft. In Brasilien soll, nein: muss nun mindestens das Gleiche rausspringen. Warum eigentlich?
Am Abend beginnt auch für die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft endlich die WM, gegen Portugal hofft die Mannschaft von Joachim Löw auf einen guten Start.
Für viele ist die Portugiesen-Partie nur eine Etappe auf dem Weg ins Finale. "Joachim Löw muss sich am Titel messen lassen", schrieb Michael Ballack in der "Mopo". "Ich glaube, der Zeitpunkt ist jetzt da", sagte Jürgen Klinsmann in der "Sportbild". Und Franz Beckenbauer? "Wenn nicht jetzt…?" fragte er rhetorisch bei Sky, denn: Nie habe eine deutsche Mannschaft eine bessere Qualität gehabt.
Das einhellige Urteil dieser Fußball-Granden: Deutschland muss Weltmeister werden. Jetzt. Und Sie? Was glauben Sie?
2002: Finale. 2006: Halbfinale. 2010: Halbfinale. Sind Sie auch der Meinung, dass es Zeit ist für ganz oben? Glauben Sie auch, dass die deutsche Mannschaft jetzt dran ist? Stimmen Sie Franz Beckenbauer zu, dass das Team im Vergleich mit 2010 "jetzt viel mehr Erfahrung" hat und "am Zenit" ist? Muss Deutschland Weltmeister werden?
Ich glaube, die deutsche Mannschaft kann Weltmeister werden. Aber sie muss nicht.
Denn der Fußball ist kein Modell, in dem man nur konstant die eigene Leistung verbessert und am Ende automatisch vorn landet. Es gibt im modernen Fußball kein absehbares Ende eines planbaren Weges, kein Anrecht auf den höchsten Erfolg. Nur im Modell verharrt die Konkurrenz auf dem Status quo. In der Realität verbessern sich auch die anderen, manchmal sogar schneller als man selbst.
Siegenthalers Warnung
Wer glaubt, dass der WM-Titel jetzt geholt werden muss, der sollte dem deutschen Chefscout zuhören. Urs Siegenthaler sagt: "Die ganz großen Mannschaften machen momentan wieder einen Sprung, da müssen wir wachsam sein." Siegenthaler spricht nicht vom Titel, er warnt, dass Deutschland abgehängt werden könnte.
Der moderne Weltfußball sieht fünf, sechs, sieben Mannschaften auf dem taktisch, technisch und physisch höchsten Niveau, neben Deutschland sind das Brasilien, Argentinien, Italien, Spanien, knapp dahinter noch Frankreich, die Niederlande, England, und bald vielleicht auch Belgien. Zu diesem Zirkel zu gehören, ist ein Erfolg, auf den man stolz sein kann. Innerhalb dieses Zirkels der Beste zu sein, kann ein Wunsch sein, aber nie ein Muss.
Deutschland muss bei dieser WM nicht Weltmeister werden. Die Mannschaft muss nicht mal das Finale erreichen oder das Halbfinale. Selbst bei einem Viertelfinalaus könnte es immer noch eine gute WM gewesen sein. Es kommt nur darauf an, wie die Mannschaft ausscheidet. Denn alles, was das DFB-Team um Joachim Löw muss, ist: alles geben. Und viel Glück haben.

Good article on Ronaldo and how he has evolved his game in recent years, particularly his off the ball movement, making him the best player in the world. Unfortunately, German only.

Ralf Rangnick: "Özil hasn't evolved his game tactically in the last few years. A very gifted player, but his defensive game ("Spiel gegen den Ball") has huge weaknesses."
Rangnick indirectly criticises Wenger also: "Özil would be a more complete player today if he had moved to Dortmund or Bayern two years ago."

Tonight is Germany's 100th World Cup game. Germany is the first country to reach that mark. Brazil will reach that mark in this tournament also, as they've played 2 games less than Germany. However, they played in two more World Cups than Germany did.

But Brazil scored more and won more points.
Good luck today in my birth town. I have a simpathy for Germany and also for Portugal, so I won't cheer for anyone.

Italy will need at least 4 WCs to reach 100 games.

Who cares about points - Brazil won more titles, that's what really counts. Germany just has been extremely consistent over the years, but lost too many finals.
We'll overtake Brazil on the scoring in future.

You can do it today if you score more than 4.

But strangely Germany conceded 29 goals more than Brazil (another myth going down).

True, but Italy just needs to win this world cup to match Brasil's 5. That is all that matters, doesn't it?

It is blue, of course.
But being consistent and always going far is also nice. I like statistics.

Holland 4th!! When you put it on points a game.
Anyway, I just love how slow Low is learning. He just goes by the systems as games goes by. But today it's 4-3-3. And that's always a good system in my eyes. Must be because he saw van Gaal out there I guess.
Also, im gonna help him a bit more now. If I were him I would play the 1995 version from the c**ts.
------------Neuer-----------
Lahm-----Howedes--Hummels---Boateng
--------Schweini------Kroos-----
------------Ozil/Gotze/Kroos------------------
Mueller------Gotze/Klose------Reus/Schurrle
Not sure if that's the best 11 Low can field, but it's imo the best system that suits the squad. And the later should always be of most importance.

Looks like Hummels is not seriously injured. That's a relief, we need him. Very good match by him today.

i don`t think thats an option
this would be an 4-2-3-1
now we play 4-3-3 with 3 hardworking midfielders, put özil on the 10 and you have just 2 hardworking players, also it`s easy to take özil out of the game, now he feels not the pressure, its a bit like Miki for Dortmund, the pressure was to huge, so klopp put him on the flank
özil/götze on the flank is like playing with 5 midfielders, like italy or spain do, both provide some genius, pace and dribbling skills, while the likes of schürrle and poldi mostly add pace and goal threat, perfect for the bench role
---------------lahm(kramer)
khedira(kramer)--------------kroos/schweini

I was positively surprised about Khedira yesterday, thought he had a good match, too. Lahm in central midfield covering for them gets the best of Kroos, Khedira and Schweinsteiger, who are no DMs, but #8s. Löw has finally understood this. As I said before the match yesterday, playing a 4-3-3 system suits Germany, we had to re-inforce the center against counter attacks. As a consequence, our defence looked very comfortable, too, Hummels in particular.
Lahm looked bad a few times in the beginning of the match, but got hold of himself later on and played well, too. Hope he got used to his new role now and that he doesn't take those naps in future...
