Good defensive game from both teams but kinda happy Dutch lost with how conservative they played. I understand not wanting to lose but soooooo many times instead of making forward passes, they passed backwards
Why does Marquez stick his leg out when there are like 3 defenders around robben. The moment he does that if he doesnt get the ball there's a high chance a penalty is gonna be called. Didn't see a slow mo replay but im pretty sure he didnt get the ball
I actually thought the German defense could be exploited at times because their back 4 isn't the fastest but you're right they do press to win the ball back. I'd like to see a Germany-Netherlands game or Germany-Mexico too bad both teams are playing each other
Yea definately they played with good pressure and were organized and compact on D. I never understood why most teams dont play like this. Especially those without the technical players but jus have athletic guys. A couple other teams so far just seem disorganized and can be easily broken down...
Dont think I've seen such a bad game from Italy in a while, so many offsides and bad passes. Wonder if they even took more than 2 shots the 2nd half and their D looked bad too
