At times they have been mind-boggling undisciplined, especially in the center of the midfield and the back. Uncharacteristic of Löw’s side the past 15 years.

Euro has been fantastic during the group stage. Hope it continues into the knockout rounds.

All I’m seeing is balls whipped into the box with no real adjustments for Germany. Yeah one might come off but I’m not sure why they aren’t attacking the middle more and trying to play through.

Too one-dimensional and direct. Not seeing any sign of creativity that can give the necessary spark to find an equalizer.
As I write that… the 1-2 with Kroos in the box was brilliant and should have found the back of the net.

Amazing the Germans once they kept the ball on the ground they had the Kroos chance then the equalizer.

Everytime I watch Sane I’m left wondering why he starts.

I don’t get the love for him. He bottles it time and time again.

Germany vs England at Wembley is the knockout tie we all need.

And this is why I think if the USMNT gets going and in form anything can happen in the next WC.

The other group is an absolute killer. Belgium Italy Spain Portugal France Croatia then add in Austria and Switzerland. Who set that up? I’m all for re-seeding j/k. Every game has the potential to be a classic. Score early and often (like 2 or 3 goals) then hold on for dear life.

Yeah that side of the “bracket” is nasty. And I’m here for it.
The whole round of 16 should be incredible stuff. All of those games are exciting matchups. England and Germany in Wembley? Spain and Croatia in front of close to full capacity in Copenhagen? Can’t wait for this weekend.
Edit: I’ll also throw in Netherlands/Czech Republic in front of 100% capacity in Budapest on Sunday.

Croatia is interesting. I'm just not sure they still have enough juice in those legs.

They’ve definitely gotten older. And I’m thinking Spain might be putting it all together now.
Of all the teams remaining I think a case could be made for just about all of them. There are the favorites, of course, but it feels like the less-favored squads have a bit more of an opportunity than simply the proverbial “puncher’s chance” to make a deep run.
England dominated them to start their match. They couldn’t even get the ball close to the to the attacking third. I don’t think they have the scoring.
Italy/France vs England is my final.

I'll trust England when I see it. I could easily see Germany breaking the 3 Lions heart again.
England just has the Homefield advantage where they would only play one match in the quarterfinals outside of Wembley.
The English played pretty mediocre outside the Croatia match.
Their manager is their problem.
The German team has been below average the entire tournament.
They might be tuning out their retiring manager or nobody but Tony Kroos has looked dangerous.

Yeah Germany hasn't been able to defend anyone so far. England should handle them and honestly by more than a goal but to your point Southgate hasn't been good. Either way I'm really looking forward to tomorrow to get the ball rolling.
