Some people are really glued to old preconceptions and stereotypes about ugly, lucky German football. If you wanna talk about luck, take a look at Italy or Turkey for example. Ask yourself when Germany achieved something the last time (hint, sometime around the middle of the 90s). Look objectively at the style of football played by the German aquad since the 2005- Klinsmann era.
Unlike 2002 (which was a crazy, unattractive tournament as a whole), this time the Germans actually delivered and rightfully qualified for the battle for Europe's crown. Already in 2006 did they play fresh, dynamic football, and besides some backslides, they'e again performing convincingly and never really boringly. Some of the players I still can't stand, but I started to shift from conditioned anti-Germans sentiments to objective judgement of their football.
What I wanna say by all this babbling is: May the better team win. For me it's totally 50:50. |
Germany's record of the quarter-final and semi-final added: 17 shots total, 8 of those shots on goal, 6 goals.
That's a great finishing ratio, and some of those shots came from nice plays, but it's simply not humanly possible to keep such a ratio on average. It's plain damn luck.
The german 2006 side played better than this one. As for the late 80s/early 90s squads, they were brilliant tactically and had many of the best players in the world. I can't quite say the same for this team.
