Heartwork Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 For what it's worth I don't think the problem with Germany is the same as with other countries where they lack the talent. I think Germany's problem is a matter of complacency and Loew not resigning a hero but staying on long enough to become the villain. Other teams have sussed out how he likes the team to play and they're able to counter that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Between his groaning about VAR throughout the first half, and branding Navas overrated for not being 9ft tall and not saving Rashford's goal at Elland Road, I've rather gone off Lee Dixon. He used to be one of my favourite co-commentators, but not now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a comment about Sam Matterface written up before that goal. EDIT 2: Basically, he mentioned that Germany's last group defeat was in 1982, when the Steve Miller Band were in the charts.
