Yes remember Lampard no goal.Neville doesn't care because it's Germany - I agree with him for once

just because you got away with it with Hurst doesn't mean Lampart gets a dodgy goal as well ;-)

Theres not an outstanding team in this tournament. Even France are nothing special apart from Mbappe. Their midfield is weak without Pogba/Kante and easy to bypass.
Germany paid the price for poor finishing in the first two games really. If Musiala could finish they'd be top of the group with about 12 goals. Spain are a decent side but nothing at the back and I wouldn't worry about a side that has Morata up top.
If we get things and make the most of our quality in midfield and attack I firmly believe we can win it. I also believe if we play like we did against the USA or the first half against Wales we'll probably go out on penalties on Sunday

I put a few quid on Portugal at 14/1 before they'd played a game (but Argentina and Germany had already lost their first games), I reckon they've got as good a chance as anyone. As you say there is no stand-out team at all.Theres not an outstanding team in this tournament. Even France are nothing special apart from Mbappe.

It's absolutely wide open, still Brazil for me, but even they look vulnerable at times.
Any team on their day can beat each other.

I see Lukaku hit the subs bench with his fist after the game. He was due to get one on target eventually.

I don't watch many football games except my team Werder and Germany. I don't understand why Musiala is so hyped. 'He wins so many dribbles', ... . But they don't lead to anywhere. Great if you can get past 3 guys, but if the 4th one stopped you then the 1st one might have as well, no goal either way.
But I was much more disappointed with Muller. I don't know what the plan was. Against Spain he was always in an offside position and couldn't be passed the ball, not quite as bad this time.
But it's not the goals that cost us, this time it was the defence.

Having warched Musiala I have to say I feel I was a bit harsh on him. He's impressed me a lot with his quality on the ball and his dribbling. I've seen him for Bayern in the CL and some big games in Germany and he looks good but it's difficult to judge from that as Bayern are so far ahead of most sides. He looks seriously impressive for 19 but as you say, no good beating 3 players if you tackled by a 4th or if you blaze a shot over. Or miss simple one on ones. He's going to be some player when he matures and adds finishing. I actually forgot Muller was playing last night!
Do you think it's a been a case of Flick trying to cram in too many attacking players that's cost you? It might sound crazy but I think Germany have looked better than England in the 3 games based on overall performances and quality of football. The XG shows that too.

Portugal look very solid. Keep it tight but have the quality in the final third to hurt teams. Leao is someone I've raved about for 18 months and he's going to do some damage if he gets a run in the side. I do wonder if they'd be better off without Ronaldo and playing Felix in the middle with Leao and Silva either side then Bruno behind.

It reminded me of the time when Sven (?) tried to play Gerrard and Lampard together. Both great, but often in each other's way.
I like Kimmich, Goretzka and Gundogan, but also not all at the same time. Gnabri or Mueller, but not both. And of course I like Fullkrug, but realistically he isn't a mega star, like Havarts is/can become.
But I don't know much about our defensive alternatives. There is a reason that Bayern doesn't have a German defender. If we would have a good one they would try and get him. Rudiger is my favourite, but he did a couple of big howlers, so did Sule. No idea who our wingbacks are, wouldn't recognise either of them on the street.
I think in 2014 Boateng won us the cup. Not the 7-1 against Brazil, Boateng could have kept Argentina from scoring for a week.

Having a quick peruse on the BBC and by all accounts the media in Germany are savaging the Germany team. Genuinely interested in what has gone wrong there but does it help having the Bundesliga dominated by one team.

Is Ronaldo claiming an assist there??
