LMAO@GSTRUCTOR

They played probably their best match and deserved to take it to extra-time mind you (Though Germany weren't full strength).

The slow motion reveals that the German goalkeeper would have stopped the ball if it didn't hit the bar anyway.

The ball was past him but I wasn't really referring to that anyway, I just feel they deserved to take it further.

i would have preferred extra-time + shootout with Wiese as goaly $$$

Guess they moved the goal a little to the right to prevent Uruguay from winning.

lmao@gstructor

Müller best player of the tourney along with Villa, Forlan and Schweinsteiger imo.
This was his first season as a professional, which is unbelievable. 24 scoring points for Bayern in the Bundesliga, 5 in the CL, 8 in this world cup, scoring 5 goals and he's still got at least two world cups ahead of him. Simply amazing.

Agree with Muller, if his technique was better he'd basically be Bergkamp v2.0. His style of play and even his running style is similar.

Like I said. He's 20 years old. The guy is still learning.
Same goes for Özil.

Have you seen him play vs. England in the U21-Euro finals?
I think you haven't seen him play at his 100% in this WC. There's still so much room for improvement. If he can access his full potential at professional level, sky's the limit.
I hope Arsenal gets him next year. Would be his best option imo.

You mean Ozil to Arsenal?

Muller won't ever match the technique or vision of Bergkamp but that's no slight, Bergkamp had the greatest touch and vision of any player ever.

I saw someone saying that the best players are just marketed well and while it's not true for the most part, in Bergkamp's case it is true, greatest ever player but he didn't come close to that recognition (next to zero marketing).

Yeah, Müller will stay with Bayern the next 3-4 years.

Özil would be a great addition for Arsenal, no? Fabregas is leaving for Barca, isn't he.
I think he would match the overall philosophy of Wenger. Does Wenger play a 4-2-3-1?

Fabregas isn't going anywhere. That's not your usual "not for sale" comment, that's a stone wall "fuck off".

Wenger's "classic" formation is a 442 but it plays very similar to the current German squad, but more like when Muller was playing in the middle and Ozil wide (after 60mins last night).

Last season with RvP it was 433 but without it was a 4141 or a 4231.

I can see 442 being used next season though:
Almunia
Sagna - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Clichy
Walcott/Nasri - Fabregas - Song - Arshavin
RvP - Chamakh

If Fabregas was sold, I see Wenger buying Melo and then playing Song - Melo (Gilberto/Parlour - Vieira).

The problem Ozil has is attacking midfield isn't an area that needs strengthening, even if Fabregas was sold, for him to come to Arsenal Rosicky (who can play deeper than Ozil) would definitely have to leave and potentially Arshavin (who can play as an SS) too.

rofl @ comparing muller with bergkamp

Same style of play (He even plays the same position at Bayern), he just doesn't have the technique but who does?

Saying he doesn't have his technique completely invalidates the comparison, since Bergkamp was 90% technique. Also Bergkamp wasn't the sort of player that would run his lungs out for 90 minutes, like muller does.

So yeah they play at the same position maybe, but thats about it.

They have very similar styles of play, sure Muller has more defensive responsbility, especially in his Germany role.

Bergkamp was much more than technique.

5 goals and suspense till the end. Fair referee, unbiased errors to both sides. Our goalkeeper was the main culprit, but everyone has bad matches and on the whole he was a good part of reaching this far. Suarez also fscked his oportunities. Forlan, parly injured, did a dobule air rox skill level goal. Germany played at its best the ones saying otherwise are delusional. Props to them. Luck wasnt on our side but Its part of football and they were increadibly effective in the most important part of the game, putting the ball in the net. gg
