FIFA World Cup 2014 - Final & 3rd Place Play-off [12th - 13th July] **spoilers**

Germany defence doing what it does worst, holding a line well and midfield runner tracking those runs well..... not!!!!

Germany being so so slow on the ball, Muller/Klose making runs and being ignored as Germany just choose slow pass after slow pass. They haven't played very well so far. Defensively, if Messi and co were in form they'd be trailing by a few.

Every team seems so scared of Messi they forget to play their own game against Argentina.

Bastian the only player really playing near his best for Germany. Made a lot of crucial tackles/interceptions in the their defensive third.
 
Reckon they ought to bring on Grosskreutz at right back, take off Klose, and move Lahm into midfield and Muller up front. Help them regain some control.
 
Kroos and Ozil doing nothing defensively, but not making the extra runs into/around the box that Khedira/Kramer were doing making it much harder to get space.

Ozil has put in a lazy/poor pass multiple times now. As per usual, awake for the first 20-30 mins of a game then crap. One good turn in this game he's done, Kroos's delivery has been awful, defensive work non existent and made some huge errors defensively that could/should have led to goals.
