I was talking to one of my german colleagues he reckons England / France and Belgium will be the teams to beat in the next 10 years. He reckons Germany should have binned a load of their older players and taken some youngster like they did before. Felt strange have a german being jealous of an England team for once
Germany lost their goal threat, they just don't have a world class striker, Werner is decent but he isn't top draw. The rest of their team is decent, players like Brandt and Kimmich will get them going again. They need to bin off Ozil / Muller though. Make room for Sane to come in and bring Brandt through and they will carry a goal threat.
We looked like the England of old in the second half. Instead of playing balls in the space behind, we kept hoofing to the defenders heads, playing a game that suits them. We need to pick it up in extra time.

Croatia looked much the better in that last half hour.
