Lets not mistake a real crisis with just a minor industrial accident, a mishap. This all came with at least 9 months of announcement.

'Bad luck' was my impression after re-watching 2 times the 2nd match half.
But I must admit that the German play was badly slow, as if they were carying some extra weight with them...That's absurd, but it's like ex-keeper Oliver Kahn said after the match (roughly translated): "The trikots of the players seem to have the weight of 1 ton..."
But the best comment from Mats Hummels, re-inforcing my 'bad luck' theory was: "If I make this goal (head goal), everyone will cry a chorus of joy and compliments, if I don't put the ball in we'll speak about how mediocre we are..." (roughly translated). I think that's the point.
