They are quite purposely trying to slow it down and take the pace out of the game.
Super half from Hummels at both ends.
Few nervous moments for Germany at the back but overall they’ve been well on top. France have had a couple of good chances but I think there’s more to come from Germany - they’re getting players behind the back four and creating little chances around that area for 1-2s.
Germany might have had a couple of penalties. Klose made too much of the first one and probably wasn’t one on balance. Muller’s one near the end was a definite penalty.
No surprise that RTÉ’s first reaction is that it’s a poor game. Ronnie can’t understand why France haven’t played the way they can. Nothing to do with the fact they’re playing against a really good team or anything.
think a few of them are really beginning to look sloppy…
God but this is a shit game so far.
Hoping to be able to beat the traffic back to my lovely home of South Armagh to watch my beloved Colombia. This is a proud day to be Colombian.
Howedes has been very good defensively for the Germans, has made a number of decent tackles so far
Hon swiney
Great stuff again from Sweini

Come on Supa Deutschland.
I expect anyone else who did German for the Leaving Cert instead of French will be cheering on Jogi’s boys.[/QUOTE]
French is beautiful and sexy. It is the language of love.
German is harsh and ugly. It is the language of war.
Germany wins, obviously.
French 1 down with 20 left and they decide to take off a centre half and replace him with another centre half. hmmmmmmm

Ze German does his own ting
Between Lahm and Hummels for MOTM
That finish lacked any convictions whatsoever from Schurrle
Be nice if for just once, France didnt lie down and roll over for the Panzers. Just once.
Jesus boetang is a big cunt
Very little urgency from the French here
You’d almost forget this game is in injury time. France seem to have nothing about them. What they’d give for a Nasri right about now.
Think that was the first time Remy touched the ball and he is on 20 minutes at this stage
The doping control guys are very inconspicuous at this tournament arent they?
Great effort from Benzema.
