Interesting game! I like how Jogi Löw is experimenting and trying out things like this. I think I was never so convinced of a Bundestrainer since Beckenbauer 1990. And to be honest, we needed that kind of grounding, even if it was just for the media to finally shut up and let the young players be. Götze for example got nearly 10 years to become a midfield legend, but he will need a lot of games and mistakes to get there. I am in no rush.... If we don't win in 2012 or 2014 at least I want to see good attacking football. And I am pretty sure I will get that
2nd 11? Ozil, gomez and khedira are 2nd 11? I think not. Nor hummels and boateng. Not all their starters, but not all subs either.
The main problem was germany playing a 343. Not enough cover in the back left loads of room for all those counterattacks. Don't think loew will be doing that in an official match anytime soon

Looks like ukraine is ready ^^ Shevvvvvvvvchhhhhhhennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
First of all, Ukraine played very well today. All the people bashing on Germany, you need to understand that Low was trying out an experiment both in the 3-4-1-2 line up and the mixture of young and experienced players. This allows the young players to mingle with the veterans and therefore learn more effectively. The reason why there were so many chances for Ukraine was that Germany had three defenders and were vulnerable to counter attacks. It is good to see that Low cares more about trying out new things rather than his friendly match record
Watched the spain/england highlights and the American/France game the crowd was silent for most of the time. This game, telling for the highlights, would have been amazing to witness not only because of the pace, snipes, and skill but also because the crowd was roaring. Who is number 19 on Ukraine he has excellent speed with the ball?
