Football World Cup 2018

I just want to comment the media's reactions to the German defeat: they are all wrong. Any technically capable footballer seeing the 2nd 45 minutes played against South Corea will notice that:


- Germany had about 70-80% ball possess
- They were mainly in the 16m square with their actions, and so:
- From the numerous chances they had 5-6 goal chances; in brief:
- They were mainly leading the game, but: No goal performed...


That's just bad luck and nothing else. Nothing to do with the players, their capabilities or the coach.


The fact that they lost 0:2 is no mystery of course, they had to mark a goal to advance in the Cup, so like in Poker they went 'All In' at the end and lost, nothing mysterious.

The media have to write their pages, and they write nonsense to fill their duty.
It's totally normal in Football that even with so many goal chances, no goal is made. Re-watch the most important Champions League games and count the goal chances in relation to the goals performed. Even CR7 will miss 1 out of 3 or more when 20m or less from the goal keeper...

Defensive play has much improved when seeing the games of Iran, South Corea and other 'non-favorite' teams. It's the 6-man defense in the back; some c.t's even tell their players to neglect completly the middle play, focusing entirely on counters etc. There are no easy teams anymore, perhaps for the fans, but for sure not for any football player. They don't make underestimations, they are all professional players.
