The Germans not only have the technical ability to match Spain, but the power running through the squad means there is every possibility they can better La Furia Roja’s exploits at Euro 2012.
Their plan to stifle Portugal worked perfectly and if they can maintain their performances in their remaining group games with Ghana and USA, they should comfortably progress to the next round as table toppers, while many feel Germany can secure their 4th World Cup this summer. [source]

At one point he was literally alone on the far side of the pitch. No Ghana or Germany players at all. I was really angry that (I think Schweinsteiger) didn't pass the ball to him.

I think that most players are not happy with the way JL coaches and that he insists on playing Özil and Khedira when they are out of form. Imagine their surprise when Mustafi is subbed instead of Schweini who I believe should be a starter.
