Its good to see that everyone is pointing out that Germany seems to be too weak to win it, because I think they are just picking up their momentum, which they will carry all the way to a victory. I might be a bit too optimistic, but I don't think anyone will beat Germany, although you can never count out anyone at this point.

I think we should see some tight and close games from here on out with luck and some good skill winning it by just a slight margin. I feel as if people are over exaggerating Germany's weakness on defense, since their midfield and offense are so good.


The midfield, especially Schweinsteiger was a bit sloppy today, but then again they seemed to have an attack oriented game plan from the start. This made them vulnerable to attacks, but for the most part they easily repulsed these attacks, although I fear that a team with a good midfield and dynamic offense could possibly give Germany a problem.
