I live in Berlin and have followed German football forever. There isn't a single quality German defender in that squad and, as a result, they will struggle not to be eliminated pretty early. Löw is a busted flush who outstayed his welcome a good 5 years, and when you're scrabbling around to recall Hummels - who you rightly discarded aeons ago - you really don't have a defender worth his salt to rely on.

9 times out of 10 you could rely on Germany to beat England in a knockout game. Not this time. Germany has too many mentally fragile talents - Werner, Havertz, Sane - and a surfeit of mediocrity: Volland and pretty much the entire defence. I think it could well get ugly for Löw before he finally goes. Still, they'll host the next Euros with Flick. They'll be back in the last four by that one.
Told yas.

15 minutes left and Germany is going out. Even if they save it, they can unquestionably be "written off". Worst Germany side in 20 years.
 
See, I don’t think you can pin a goal like that on Loew

You can if you accept the thesis that he picked the three guilty defending parties that got split/failed to challenge, and that the reserves are equally good.

You can't pin Neuer's error on Jogi. He's obviously the #1 GK.

If you don't buy that Jogi has equivalent talent riding pine that might have done better had they been in the game, you can't pin the goal on him.
 
Apart from the French penalty the referee seems to be having a good game, tough opposition for England next game regardless who it is.
About 20mins left, still more twists and turns to come.
