Group E: Curacao, Ecuador, Germany, Ivory Coast

[McDog]

Equilibrium has been restored.

[Big Geordie]

Bugger 

[The College Dropout]

European teams relying heavily on set pieces so far 

[STM]

Booooo. 

[Joe1984]

Oh well.

 

Normal service resumed.

[oldtype]

Stupid Germans ruining our fun 

[Beren]

Not playing Wolte or Thiaw. Hope they lose.

[McDog]

Nicely done at any rate.

[Keefaz]

Bit of a shame, Curaçao barely won a header all match.

Their goal song is amazing mind. Not that I like goal songs.

It's clear that they were/are hoping for Curacao to run out of steam at some point, which they likely will. I think they've done alright so far.

 

Why are Germany having to wait for Curaçao to have to run out of steam though?! That is absolutely wild to me man 

[LionOfGosforth]

EURRRGGHHH. These fuckers are gonna be annoyingly effective in this tournament

Why do they need to be 8-0 up after 40 minutes though?

 

This is being played in 31 degrees C after a lot of these have went through gruelling seasons with their clubs. It's a smart mive by Nagelsmann. They're going to win the game even if each of them play 5/10 at best

Annoying that they can take the corner from outside the quadrant and then get another shot. Should be a reversal and free kick to the defending team imo

[Virtua Stiva]

Could go for a pint of Schlotterbeck

They are going to get smashed by the first decent side they face.

In case the underdogs get plucky and fight back?

[oldtype]

Didn’t realize good ‘ol Dick Advocaat was managing these guys. Want them to win even more now.

[KaKa]

Playing just like an Arteta Arsenal side with the set piece goal to boot. Awful.

I hope they do but they have the look of a team who will dive and con and be effective from set pieces enough to get through to the latter stages. Hopefully someone will destroy them first knockout game.

That ain't shit for Curacao.

[BottledDog]

Sitting here raging, because I don't understand why Curaçao's 3 letter code is CUW.

Who said they have to be up 8-0?

100%.

 

Can already tell they're not going to do anything in this tournament.
