Germany playing some lackadaisical defense. That Mexican analyst is going to be insufferable at halftime

Hummels looks out of his element and is making a lot of mistakes. Kroos looks old, can cover but lazy on defending responsibilities just outside his own box. One reason I want Kroos to move on from RM.

Low better light a fire at halftime. Germany looks really sluggish and Mexico is coming to play.

I'm predicting a 2-1 Germany win.

On the plus side, Mexico invariably ****s the bed in the WC when they face a side that's actually playing well, with a competent referee.

The German coach needs a looser shirt. That's why his team's playing like garbage. Is it cold in the stadium?

Germany missing out on fast break opportunities. They do a good job advancing the ball and then slow the advancement down in the box. All Mexico has to do is collapse and wait for an opportunity to put the ball back down field because half the German team is 30 yards from the Mexican goal. I don't understand why the wings arent pushing the ball into the corner and crossing back into the box. Germany has the height advantage.

I see them going to the right wing a lot, but it seems to break down prior to getting service into the box.

He is stopping and dancing around instead of taking it deep. He has a step on the defender but stops the ball every time at the top of the penalty box.

I see the German strategy. Dick around, miss on a pass or dribble in the final third, and if by chance everything does work out, kick it right at Ochoa.
LeonardSkinner

Ooohhh... Himmich with a little wrinkle. Decides to kick it well over Ochoa.

Never thought I'd see the day where Germany was absolutely useless inside of 20 yards from the end line.

Both teams are committing huge defensive errors and give aways.

Brazil should be very very pleased with what we're seeing.

Only shot Germany can get is from outside the box. Mexico with 6-7 players in the box.

Mexico is going to get plenty of opportunities to hit them on the counter again. Germany leaving miles of open space in the middle and they'll be forced to push deeper and deeper to score.
Hot take: ter Stegen should've started in goal

Germany is lucky. That's a penalty.

That was a Charlie foxtrot. That's a penalty or a dive. You can't pass on making a call.

And lucky not to draw a card at the other end cleaning out the defender on that clearance.

I stand by this after the non-PK. Hummels is chasing chicharoto to get to the ball. He needs to be benched.

At least they actually got to Moscow this time before it all went to hell.
