...they have a young defense as full of holes as a Swiss cheese I said about our team some days up this thread. Four years ago they allowed only one single goal before the final and this time two in the first (easy) game. That'll go disastrously wrong against a better team than Costa Rica.

All in all it was a delightful game to watch, the opener with most goals after the war. I consider the way our team plays quite unusual for a German team: Who cares about a defense as long as we still score more goals than them. It won't go well.
