Very nice game by the Germans. It was everything I hoped it would be. I knew Schweinsteiger would have a good game, but I never thought he'd play that well. He was the key to everything we did. Ballack still hasn't found his game though. He needs to get on the ball more and make things happen.
Low's tactical changes were spot on as well. Taking off Fritz and Gomez did wonders. Rolfes and Hitzlsperger also did well as starters.
As I said before, Germany is a bad matchup for Portugal. They are bigger and stronger and tactically superb to the Portuguese. Hell, they were able to shut down Ronaldo for 85% of the game.
Turkey, here we come!
