[world cup 2014] Germany 2 - Algeria 1
Really, what the hell are we doing, Low? You know you can hide behind a win forever. Just wake up, damn it!
I'm scared to think what would happen if we don't have a first class goalkeeper like Neuer. Thanks God he's there and doing the work for the whole defense line. Like, really? Are you kidding me with that Mustafi stunt and Lahm playing midfielder and then making a stupid foul when he defended? Come on, I know Lahm loves playing midfielder, but there's a whole difference between what he loves to do and what he (clearly!) CANNOT do at NT level. And don't dare tell me the joke we have as defense. Really, it's pure luck that the team we've faced up to now did not have good strikers or else...
And then, and then, don't bullshit me with that tiki taka. What we call here in Vietnam is lối chơi tiki taka nửa mùa, which is so halfhearted and not really tiki taka and not German and all in all, just pure bullshit. Our passes might be accurate, but I know you can see it, Low, as everyone else can see it, that Gotze is not ready for WM, and Gotze + Ozil = disaster, as they simply cancel each other out, and we only need one of that style. Gotze is cleary the one we DO NOT need for our offense with his complex style and wasting too much time and opportunity. And as much I love Muller, he is not Klose, which means he could not carry the shooting all by himself. Muller plays best as a supporting forward - midfielder, which means at the wing to draw the attention of the opponent and then grasp the opportunity to strike or assist, just like what he did in the previous game with US or in this game with the opening score by Schurrler. And as Klose could not play the whole game, why not Schurrler as a starter to speed up our play?
All in all, there are so much problems with our current style that I don't know how to make sense of Low's strategy and how we could move forward respected as a strong team, not just skinning our teeth through the tournament. 6 years and I'm still so disappointed in Low that I don't know how to begin. We can get by the previous campaigns as somehow we've got what we wanted, but it's like I'm at my wit's end here and I just don't want to see another golden generation bronzed by Low again and again. I love this squad, I love Neuer, I love Metersacker, I love Lahm, I love Basti, I love Ozil, I love Khedira, I love Muller, I love Klose and if not for this year, I know I could never see this line up again and I just want them to win so badly. Not just for what I've been waiting for for 12 years but I want them to get what they deserve and not faulted by some other's stupid mistake. We might win, we might lose, but if we lose, at least let we lose when I know we have done our best, not when I know there's so much else we can do but have not.
Come on, Low. Just when you decide to man up and do things right?
