Germany deserved to win this game, they were the better side
With Harry Kane, Lewandowski or haaland
Proud of my country Germany. Don’t care what y’all say. Germany will fight until the end. 🇩🇪 ❤
Musiala plays like players of the 90's. He's gonna be the Zidane of this generation.
They lack noting the coach need the play the number 9.
he is good and a good treat in front
Harry kane? Yes maybe as a benchwarmer or greenkeeper
Both teams played great offensive football, a joy to watch. Spain had the edge but Germany played great too. Much love to everyone!
You German fans make me laugh…if someone would have told you two weeks ago that you were last in your group, with only one point, and needed a victory in your last match to scrape by as second in your group, would you have called that a success? Make no mistake, Germany is looking into the abyss and will need a lucky roll of the dice to play against Croatia. After that match you can begin your Christmas vacation.
If Japan beat Spain, Germany still have a chance make it into round of 16 if beat Costa Rica (maybe 9-0)
Germany will beat Costa Rica and finish runners up. Fullgrug has to start as their number 9 and they will be alright!
The coach is not working. Before Spain score the game was calling for some pace . Sane came on and change the game and almost won it. Germany trying to walk the ball into the back of the net is not working
Best match so far in my opinion as a fan of neither
Fulkrug > Kane
Musiala >>Gavi Pedre 😂😂
ESPN FC with their English bias again. Lewandowski in this German side would be way better than what Harry Kane has to offer. We would basically be seeing the old Bayern team in the WC
Yes, Germany is still alive in this World Cup 🔥
Coach Dieter Flick needs to tell in the team meeting that either Muller/Fullkrug is the Striker. Let them concentrate on Finishing rather than 25 passes ending up in nothing.
Germany need more creativity!!!
Gnabry was our weakest player in the past 2 games outside of Sule!
Sane is needed badly
Plus Kimich deliveries are abysmal!
Not one single decent cross and he is charge of all of them!!!!
Play Sane from the beginning
Change the player in charge of set pieces and We can beat everyone
Flick looks a prat for not starting fulkurg..it was obvious over two games he would have got smtg out of the japan game..
Germany needs a serial loser like Harry Kane to lead to absolutely nothing as he has done for every team he has ever played for
Kane? Guy got pocketed by the US 😂
Costa Rica would have smashed Germany 3-0. This is a huge blow for Germans.
I am sure, nobody of these analysts has heard of Füllkrug before.
They just need a number 9. With the amount of players who can create and cross, not having a proper number 9 hurt them. With Fulkrug they had a target man and a guy who will position himself properly.
They didn't come to play football, they came with to follow their politicians' instructions and ruin the world cup, I would be happy to see them out.
The German high press was amazing, most of Germanys chances were created by Spains incredibly stubborn attitude of playing the ball out. A long ball to morata once and awhile isn’t a terrible option which actually suits the type of player he is. Spain almost shoot themselves in the foot 😬
Barcelona FC (Spain) won a point tonight 😂
Mexico with Harry Kane would be perfect too. Too bad our coach sucks and didn't take Chicharito.
Harry Kane? Why would he be perfect for Germany over say Lewandowski?….because of Kane's massive trophy collection, grasp of other languages or his stellar scoring in in big games?
It's funny how moments ago everyone thought Germany had nothing to offer. But still good game from Spain
Musiala 🔥 sane changed the game and fulkrug has to start.
Kane isn’t scary to great teams
I love Germany ❤️❤️❤️
I love Tommy however shouldn’t have started today.
Sane changed the game for the Germans
Harry Kane? No. Mr Robert Lewangoalski? Yes.
Hansi took to long to make changes and I wish we had gosen and timo.
Why are these punks not saying anything about the effigy of Ozil that we saw in the crowd during the game?
Take off the field that unhappy Mueller, do not lose time. He not supposed to be in that team from 8 years ago. Mueller go home, if you like that Germany stay in higher standard as we saw all the times; before you were part of that team, you not belong there, you are stranger for a long time, maybe you bought that place you hold there.A national team has different construction from average team. A player can't do the game of a team but be part of it respecting his duty that this individual has plus elaborating with other team players otherwise it is not football.
He seems to me is paralytic, and paralyzing all the others, go home.
Why FIFA is not bringing down the age to play football to 30 knowing so many people are praising young players. Just listen to what they say about Gakpo, Gavi or Bellingham…
11:28 About this. There is actually an argument to be made than in Group E it's better to finish second. Because if everything happens according to normal, the Group E winner would then face Brazil in the Quart Finals. While the second would be in the relatively easier bracket side.
Learning??? You are talking about champions league winner couch.
Germany not in conversation since 2016. Waste of time keep on talking about this team.
Musiala is ok but he’s not ready for 90 minutes challenge, Kai Havertz is better if you need a goal.. Fulkrug and Sane should start.
Woke Germany, black Germany players laughing after they lost to Japan.
This game was fixed. Spaniards were very generous
Never write off GERMANY♥️
How much does Shaka get paid to speak his drivel?
So Gap was correct yesterday, about not being able to imagine Germany out at this stage.
