i cant really predict whu will win World Cup 2006, but by now, im rather certain germany will not win... soree to all fans of germany...
i was treated to a dismal performance by tt team last nite!!! one of de worst showings of germany i had ever seen!!! porous defence, a midfield which is not effective given its manpower, and mostly, a goalkeeper whu does not noe wad he shd do!!!
yes, de goalkeeper... jens lehmann!!! whr had ur form in arsenal disappeared to??? it was due to ur superb skills, vision n leadership in de gunners backline tt ure chosen over oliver kahn as no.1!!! y de disappointment dis time??? u saw a free-running striker coming at ur goal, y didn u act??? y did u just root urself??? twice tt happened, n they were costa ricas onie 2 real chances!!! which rounds up to say, u didn contribute!!! Klinsmann shd consider taking u out n replacing wif Kahn... Face it, ure not ready to be de german no.1...
defence, bad... real bad...allowing wanchope to free-run into ur penalty box on a couple of occasions says it all already... it had become obvious early in de game tt costa rica was solely depending on wanchope to run in n deliver de goals, n no one marked him!!! terrible!!! if ur defence cant keep out one striker frm costa rica, how de hell r u gonna cope wif 3 brazillian strikers or maybe wayne rooney n co??? if dis is de way u gonna play, prepare to concede at least 5 goals to de likes of brazil, england, italy n france... WAKE UP!!!
midfield, de same 5-man formation as 4 yrs ago... but performance-wise, a far cry!!! to think i hailed ur 5-man midfield as one of de world's best then... i take it back now... imagine a midfield tt takes out half de players in ur team, n still culd let loose balls to costa rica??? atrocious i wuld say... again, beware of de top teams if u ever meet them...
i do hope tt i wuld not see such disappointing performances again in dis World Cup... champions shd play like champions!!! not like some amateur soccer team...
really really disappointed... hope dis team can sort things out...
