The most important thing in a WC is the ability to manage the base level needed to survive each game when everyone is tired.
Seems Germany has a tradition of being able to do just that.
Also, I think we should have lost the Nigeria game, which was extremely similar to that one. The main difference is that the first goal was refused. If they had goaled then, my guess is that game would have been lost in the same fashion.

I was really surprised at all the missed passes and the inability to change tactics, always repeating the same long passes that are hard to get for tired players and easy to intercept for defenders...
I was thinking the same. Germany's precision passing and discipline was too much for France. Too bad about Brazil too. I think they can still do it, but having both Neymar injured and Silva out will be quite challenging for Germany. Maybe someone can step up and be a hero for them.

Also, this moment looked like it was about to get weirdly erotic.
