I watched the match yesterday...
Germany seriously played like crap...For the first half, the
very least they were on the front foot, having possession and
making clear-cut chances, but NOT clinical!
The second half switched and it was China having the possession!
They passed well, explore spaces and sadly, none of their
crosses connected well.
[Not I want to say but...] Germany just seemed to lack Ballack
who will arrive outside the box and try to have a long shot at goal
- which they always lack in the match.
Whenever they shoots it gets blocked by the China GK and rolls
to the outside of the box, NO GERMANY PLAYERS there for the rebound
but China midfielders to recover and start of another attack.
