RobbieC, I've heard rumblings about mesut ozil being a youngster to watch this world cup; would you say this current german team has a larger element of flair and creativity as opposed to the industrial stereotype?
Trochowski is far and away the most exciting emergence for Germany imo. I can't wait to see him linking with Klose for an absolute glut of goals.
Great saves by both keepers, Hart for the Number 1 jersey for me. This is much better than the 1st half but still we fail to break Japan for whom the quarter finals will be a great achievement.
Edit: 1-1 own goal, well someone had to score for us!
