+Daniel Swildens Maybe. I think it is more poor that Montolivo can take a pass like this. Poor tactic of Löw because he had 3 CMs on field instead of one right midfielder (Thomas Müller).
Thats not important. I only said that the second goal of italy was the fault of Löw. Its my opinion and I have really good reasons for it. And you articulate like a kid when you say "piss off" to others. And english is not my mother tongue and I am not really good in speaking it. But I try to communicate like a normal person without insults.
In my opinion it's Löw. Fertig. Akzeptiere es einfach. Brauchst dich hier nicht aufspielen. Deine Meinung ist kein Gesetz. Now you'll know my mother tongue. I think that I know really more about german football.
It is only your opinion. In Germany the most said after this game that it was the fault by Löw. And I think so too. Schweinsteiger was one of the worst player in this team. But he played. Löw played with 3 CMs and without a right midfielder. The pass of Montolivo came across the german right side! He had so much time. Apart of this Löw played with Gomez and Podolski instead of Klose and Reus. No one had understood that. And because I am german I know how the germans thought after losing this match. btw... I support the 1.FC Kaiserslautern
Crazy when nobodies use words like wasted. If you watched football long enough, you understand, that this is the way it is, human being with families and competing interests.
If Italy played with Balotelli in the Qualifiquation round against Sweden , they would be now at the World Club one of the most underated player ever... So much talent
@@localoppboy7668 Balotelli is not a team player, he would rather prefer individual recognition than team glory. That's the reason he wasn't selected. Plus Belotti and Immobile both had better seasons than him.
82 Italy world champion after facing Germany 06 Italy world champion after facing Germany 90 Germany world champion but no facing Italy 14 Germany world champion but no facing Italy Germany was very very lucky, we are your nightmare.
I am Italian, this evening I think Germany will win 'cause the team they built up during the last years is pretty amazing, plus this time italian team is not strong as was in the past. But even if italy loses I think this is the only match worth watching, this is more than just a football match. Someone said that Italy vs Germany is "the derby of Europe". I agree with that, this evening we, italians and germans, will watch a good show, and we will feel emotions no other match can give us. Remember RESPECT first, and shall the best win :) !
You're right and like Buffon once said-evey serie comes to an end eventually.What do you think of the 24 MO in the EURO? I think it's boring, we have seen a boring group stage because of that and I hope they revert back to 16
Well I'm pretty sure France, Spain, Netherlands and a few other countries would disagree there but like me, you're entitled to your opinion. I don't watch Italy or Germany play usually, unless it's deep in a competition because both are boring to watch these days. Maybe players like Havertz and Werner will change that.
@@CamEraFitnessChannel Not really. France didn't take football seriously until the late XX century, Spain was relevant in the early XX century, the 60s and then became irrelevant until the late 2000s, the Netherlands are one of the most important football nations of the XX century but they are famous for their national team shortcomings. Italy and Germany were the European powerhouses of the XX century. Nowadays they have 8 World cups between them and this rivalry symbolizes the competition between northern and southern Europe. Both teams have played some of the greatest matches in football history (1970 WC semifinal, the match of the century, and the 1982 final). And there is always this feeling that no matter how rich and advanced Germany is compared with Italy, they still can't beat them 11 vs 11. A rivalry that is both historic on and of the pitch, there are not many like this one.
+Carlos Merino (MrGuanaco) Yup life goes by very fast. I was just thinking the same thing. still feels like yesterday to me. This was the best game of the tournament
Balotelli was such a talent player. He had the potential to become one of the best strikers in the game but never achieved his potential because he didnt seem to take football that serious to want to be the best.
The only country Germany needs to thank for winning the 2014 world cup is Italy. A. Because we beat them twice in two semi finals (sharpened their resolve) and for not being there in 2014 to beat them as per usual. Even in 2016 vs an average Italy team, they still couldn't beat us in 120 minutes.
Love u Mario. Mourinho, when managing Inter, said Balo trains at 25% capacity. Even if he trains at 50% he would be best player in the world. Ronaldo El Fenomeno said Balo is best striker he's seen in his lifetime in terms of talent. Look at Balo now. Nothing to show for it. Such a shame. My life has been the same. So much talent and potential. Zero delivery. I always wonder what football would've been like if Balo actually fucking tried for once.
Ballotelli is not just an awesome talent, he's also technically very specialized in certain goal scoring areas. More importantly a great person when greeting him.
from an unbiased point of view, I do think Germany will win on Saturday. Stronger midfield with technically better players, slightly better Goalkeeper (if it goes to a shootout, although Buffon is still a top keeper in the world). Some may disagree but I feel Germany has played slightly better as a team, although again its arguable. Italy has them beat on mentally as it will Linger in the german players' heads that they have never beaten Italy. If Italy scores first, they will win. But if Germany scores first, or if it goes to a shoot-out, Germany should win.
These was the highlight of Balotelli brilliance in Euro 2012. Played phenomenal all through the tournament, carried Italy to the final only to be humbled by Spain. After the loss Mario can't seem to focus on the game that caused his untimely fall in the limelight of football greatness.
reus has one of the saddest carriers. imagine missing out on a winning world cup squad because of a stupid injury, getting grouped in the world cup, and losing 2 ucl finals despite being loyal to your club. he deserves better.
