Costa Rica are poor

 

[Blue Piper]

That black haired lines woman could flag me offside all night

Anyone else find that watching Spain is very very dull despite at the same time realising that their quality is very good….

 

[wm02]

At some point in this tournament Spain is going to concede a silly one excessively playing out from the back

 

[Wizard]

Always wondered why they wear blue. Surely red and white would be more approporiate.

It’s the colour of the Royal family that was ruling when the teams started and they kept it

 

[Billy Dean]

Germany not really making the pressure count. As long as it’s only 1-0 it could go wrong

Been that way for 14 years really

Never got the love for them

Tiki-Taka is death

 

[Azza]

Great save.

 

[GoldenToffee]

The Neumeister General with a strong hand there.

 

[Billy Dean]

What a chance for CR there

 

[GoldenToffee]

Joel Campbell is Maupay levels of crap, probably worse tbh.

 

[Billy Dean]

Real shame CR didn’t score there. Germany will be more vigilant now you’d think

 

[Wizard]

One really good chance for CR and then a good break they completely messed up. Can’t be wasting them

 

[Drico]

That German defence is only itching to concede. Neuer got Raum and Rudiger out of a massive hole there. And then Sule decided to make the Chuckle Brothers a trio.

If they don't get a quick second, these guys are capable of imploding. And it's all set up for Costa Rican counters as Musiala dribbles into dead ends - there is rarely an end product to his runs - and Sane flatters to deceive. As for Müller - a pensioner and looking it.

 

[stipe]

Hansi Flick deserves sacking just for insisting on playing Muller as striker. Didn't he learned the lesson with Fullkrug last game?

Ffs, Muller best position throught career was always playing support role, to Lewa, Klose (in national team) or now in Bayern and not leading the line
