Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2761090, member: 6819"] I tend to think that a last second win against a rather plodding but tall Swedish team hardly qualifies as an awakening. Sweden didn't have the speed to effectively mark their men, jump the passing lanes, and mount quick strike counter attacks as Mexico did. That certainly showed the formula for beating this team. This German team is placing it's bet on precise, quick passes and exacting alignments, movement, and placement of their forwards and midfielders. Not particularly on speed, creativity, and passion. For me Germany's win just delays the inevitable. [/QUOTE]
