I don’t watch as much these days, can you comment here? |
I fully agree with you. Germany could have lost that game very, very easily. The Ivorians were shredding their midfield for about 15 minutes after half-time, and even after it went 1-1, Adingra had a golden chance to win it in the 87th minute. This is where the old clichés about "German efficiency" kick in. Ivory Coast wasted four or five really good chances to bury the game. When Germany got their chance, they took it ruthlessly.
As for "parking the bus"... Ivory Coast weren't really interested in passing the ball around in midfield and they were definitely set up to hit Germany fast and hard on the counter-attack, but saying they "parked the bus" is a bit ridiculous. It was a very aggressive, positive game plan and they have some really skilful players.
