It seems like a cliché/meme, but really: german efficiency. They had only a couple of chances and they scored two goals (and could've been three if not for Ochoa). Mexico have had their chances and they wasted 'em.

Hopefully they can manage to score during the second half.

 

[PsychBat!]

Juegan como nunca pierden como siempre

 

[CMojicaAce]

Quick, someone call Mark Geiger to give Mexico 2 penalties.

I would argue they aren't playing well. Germany just decided to concede possession.

 

[YesThatGuy]

The score really doesn't reflect the match so far. What a shame about the first 10 minutes being so decisive.

That happens when the joke of a coach in your team decides to use the team as guinea pig.

It was not until the second goal that you could see every player in the Mexican side think "F this crap" and just play as they normally do. The Copa America match must have thaugh that.

Too bad that means we still have Chicharo and Dos Santos on the pitch.

 

[Gilgamech]

Lozano in- good
Aquino out- why?!
Why can't we have players in their natural position? We don't need a striker at the wing when there's talented wingers on the team.

 

[v1lla21]

Is there a fucking whale in the stadium?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Where is Vela?

 

[Zasa]

Goretzka's on a different wavelength

Some fans from Oceania bought tickets for the semi-finals.

No need for Germany to go full throttle with the match well in hand.

 

[v1lla21]

Wow. Everyone sleeping.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Welp, that is it. I just hope they don't implode like last year

 

[Ostinatto]

Esta bién, saben por qué esta bien? porque Mexico no reventó la pelota, está muy bien, porque Mexico no sabe, no tienen idea contra quién esta jugando ni como está planteando el partido, está bien !!

 

[RocknRola]

Germany dominating with ease. Mexico seems super lost in the pitch.

 

[KingSnake]

Lol. Great defence.

 

[PsychBat!]

welp

congrats GermanyGAF

 

[Zeus The Dino]

Offsides?

 

[Altazor]

 

[Zasa]

We are so screwed on Sunday

 

[GlamFM]

Offsides?

No.

 

[Brinbe]

Can't finish for shit

 

[Mimosa97]

I was gonna ask why Germany got invited to the confederation Cup and then I remembered that they won the 2014 WC.

And now I just realized that the next WC is in less than a year.

Also it's in Russia.

What could go wrong huh

And the next one is in Katar.

Let that sink in for a while.

 

[Mimosa97]

I am boycotting that one so hard.

Players could earn my respect for life by refusing to play there.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

And the next one is in Katar.

Let that sink in for a while.

It's like the axis of evil and FIFA is working with them.

 

[Fewr]

Congrats German GAF!

 

[Gilgamech]

Mexico's attack looks so slow when compared to these German blitzkriegs.

 

[v1lla21]

He's taking out Jonathan, Why? this dude's a fucking idiot. Hope he gets fired.

He took out the two best players on the field.

 

[Gilgamech]

All his decisions are one step forward, 7 steps back.

He won't get fired.

 

[Brinbe]

Pitiful finish. Match would be more interesting if they converted even one of those chances

 

[RocknRola]

So, a repeat of Portugal vs Mexico and Chile vs Germany. I suspect the Portugal vs Mexico match will be played almost like a friendly.

 

[Mimosa97]

Germany playing with their B team, right? (can't watch right now)

More like a mixture of b/c/u21

Yes.

Saving them for 3rd place match.

Closer to an U-21 side.

 

[manueldelalas]

Germany playing with their B team, right? (can't watch right now)

It's the stellar team without 5 or 6 key figures, but this is a team that has a bright future for 10 or so years. Amazing really.

 

[RocknRola]

Germany playing with their B team, right? (can't watch right now)

Yeah, pretty much. Arguably some "C team" members in there too, considering how many young players are there. All of them good though, bright future ahead of Germany if these players don't get "lost" during their career.

Plus ( a BIG plus IMO), the A team all got some decent vacations, which will help at their clubs and perhaps even during the WC next year too.

Oh, Jimenez almost scored a great header just now.

Dat German engineering ...

Congrats on winning the WC 2022 I guess.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Save us Almeyda.

 

[clemenx]

You can't really analyze football like that. Almost any superior team is going to go into full chill mode after a 2-0 lead in 10 minutes.

 

[RocknRola]

Niiice! Good goal, by Mexico.

 

[Zasa]

Que golazo. Perfect placement

 

[clemenx]

Lol that came out of nowhere.

 

[v1lla21]

At least we are on the board. What a goal. Lol

 

[Regulus Tera]

Marco Fabian should have started 😭

 

[GlamFM]

Wow! Holy shit.

Edit, that was easy.

 

[PsychBat!]

I close my eyes and BAM
