Klose- Podolski- Isaakson. The three most repeated names in the match so far. The most amazing thing is how Klose has created the chances for Podolski to score. In fact, Klose has been dropping back far into midfield to do so and is the playmaker -striker. He is just been phenomenal. Sweden down by 2 goals through the Podolksi- Klose tandem in the first 11 minutes. It will be difficult for Sweden to recover, they look dazed and confused.
Ibrhamovic came alive in the last couple of minutes. Linderoth took some dangerous corners but Germany has outshot Sweden 13-2 in a barrage of shots. Isaakson coming up with some acrobatic saves.
Germany looks like the team to beat. Klinsi’s joy is infectious, he is a like a little kid given the key to the candy store. 80% of the Germans now believe that Germany will go further and the way they are playing there is nothing to doubt that.
Update: Teddy Lucic was sent off in a continuing mockery called World Cup refeering. A small little grab of the shirt warrants a second yellow card!! Sweden down to 10 men- it is going to be really tough to come out of this hole.
One comment on “Halftime: Germany 2 Sweden 0 (Sweden under siege)”
Shourin, no doubt Lucic didn’t earn either of his cards, especially the second caution that sent him off…absolutely terrible officiating. This cup has been dominated by poor, unprofessional officiating for which FIFA is to blame.
