  • Germany and Argentina's defeats are the biggest talking points of the World Cup so far with both nearing meltdowns after opening match shocks to Saudi Arabia and Japan respectively.
    James Horncastle, Rafa Honigstein and Adam Leventhal discuss if there's any way back for both after the first round of fixtures.

    Who is in bigger trouble - Germany or Argentina? 👇

      Germany definitely

      Germany lacks a striker and a good winger, drop the "fake back 3" or at least put Kimmich as the "fake LD" so the ball can be progressed better and he can do long passes to the big guy in front (Harvetz or Fuellkrug), maybe put musiala as an 8 to have proper wingers on each side for stretching the defense

    Flick got out managed. Germany put their defensive team out in the second half and Japan then went full offense. They played really well in the first half, and I feel if Fullkrug was with that starting lineup more of those goals would have gone in. Kai Haveritz was not aggressive enough, and he seems out of sorts playing at the 9.

    That last line, 'the big European teams, not performing' feels a bit contrived. Spoiler alert: Argentina is not in Europe. Also, ya know, France, Spain, England... even the Netherlands pulled out solid wins. Agreed that Belgium didn't look great but they still managed a win against what must be said was a good looking Canadian team. Germany is the only European team to actually lose a match up to this point.

    It is a cruel disservice to Japan to suggest that Germany self-destructed. Yes, Die Mannschaft missed good opportunities and gave up a goal due to grave individual errors, but Japan were the better team for the final twenty minutes. They took their chances; something Germany failed to do. Japan must also be applauded for tactically altering the match via substitutions and a change of system. Overall, Germany probably controlled a greater portion of the game, but Japan demonstrated the attributes of a quality side: discipline, adaptability, execution.

      Well said. That second goal was pure beauty. People are critical of Neuer, but that was a world class finish. Well played Japan!

    The Germans played very well until the second half substitutions. The left back was terrible all game offensively and the substitutions did not improve the squad one bit. He should have gone first in my opinion. The Japanese played a great game. Way better than most Bundesliga teams can. Beautiful football match overall.

    • @kokovox

      And Haverts was walking instead of pressing. He was very poor as well, especially defensively.

    • @kokovox
      @kokovox Před rokem

      And the only really good chance for Germany scoring in the second half was Gundoghan's miss. Everything else was half chances.
