Too close for comfort. Congrats to Algeria. They played hard.

I'm not so sure Thomas Muller couldn't play 180 minutes. Dude is a fuging workhorse.

That made me quite uneasy. Onto France. Auf gehts Deutschland schiesst ein tor!

Die Mannschaft needs to play far better if they want a result against the French.

The thought of Mertesacker having to deal with Benzema is terrifying.

Mertesacker has absolutely no pace. He's very tactically sounds, but any pacey CF will give him fits. He'll need help.

Tell me about it. His positioning and tackling is amazing but he slow as poo. That's why Arsenal have Koscienly play along side him who is lightning fast.

Germans have too many passers and not enough scorers.

If the young talent on Germany like Kroos, Goetze, and Ozil get clicking on all cylinders they will be tough for anyone to beat. Some of their better players have played poorly in the attacking third for much of this tournament. Mueller can't be the only real offensive threat if they want to win it all. Someone needs to step up and finish. I like that Kroos isn't afraid to let it fly he just needs to hit the target.

Klose needs to play and the back line needs to get their act together.

Yup I am wanting Lahm to start in the back for the rest of the tournament. He just offers so much stability and skill back there and I believe it is where we need him the most. There is plenty of skill/talent to replace his position in the midfield with on the bench.

Germany has gone to 16 STRAIGHT quarters. That is friggin impressive.

France Vs Germany

 

As usual it will be an equal duel between the 2,

if France won the great majority of the previous games (5 wins 1 draw 1 defeat) only the last 2 should be considered and we have a 2 -1 and a 1 - 2

Today French squad is stronger but the same is true for Germany, so this is going to be a heads or ties game.
