Germany have already qualified for the Round of 16, so a loss today won't be the end of the world. But you'd think they'd come out in the 2nd half and do their utmost to win, to finish top of the group. They'll even want to win out of pride.

Musiala has a powerful shot that forces Sommer into an excellent save and then Gundogan puts the rebound way wide of the post. Great move by Germany and it was a great through ball from Wirtz to start the move off.

The usual problems and the usual result atm.

I wish Havertz just kinda disappeared. International football would be much better without him. 
AT BEST, he's a system player, and the national team doesn't have the time to gel a complex strategy together. The end result is that 5% of the time when Germany counter, he looks a million bucks linking up with the supporting players around him, but 95% of the time the ball ends up wide and you have nothing but a string bean to aim at, and if you go direct to him he can't hold the ball. Fucksake. 

Also, EVERY OTHER TEAM ON PLANET EARTH when they are a goal behind in these situations start playing more direct, more crosses, more pressure, increasing over time as the game moves towards the finish. Germany, and Germany alone go 'nein, we must hold the ball more, surely this is the path to victory' and actively make the problem worse.
