Not for the starting XI which I didn't like and which only improved when he took out the worse players, but for what happened in the final 8 minutes (including the injury time). Germany were a man less (Boateng, the only regular central defender) and not getting eliminated with a draw. Other teams would have taken off an offensive player an brought on Suele to protect the draw and not risk getting eliminated directly.

Not Loew.

Loew, now playing with 3 men at the back (actually they were more like midfielders, but anyway), takes off Hector and replaces him with Brandt, a winger. How ballsy was that? That was an extremely offensive formation for a team with 10 men that would get eliminated if they conceded 1 goal.

Hats off to you, Jogi!

Your contrast of your opinion for Loew is like mine about Kroos

Loew might not do whatever is expected all the time, but IMHO he is agile enough to adjust his plan to the situation when needed. He did that a lot of times in the past, a sign that he is a great coach.

BTW this change for Hector, leaving us practically with only 2 defenders was not only a risky, bold move but I would go even further and say it was an unexpected move for a German who typically are more cautious / conservative.

Congratulations Loew!

The guy at around 2 mins is an ass - no wonder the Swedish were angry because of our cheers...
Kidding aside, they’re kids... I was screaming like ass too but why does he have to look at those kids like a **** hungry lion?

Yes that annoyed me too, but then I thought I shouldn't judge because there's no knowing what that family did when Sweden scored.

But the way these kids were watching crunch time - NOT - makes me wonder whether they even cared much...

It's all about context. Who knows what the dad and mother did? And whether they were in a German bar to start off with (that's very probable seeing as everyone else celebrated the goal). You pull that shit (going with the opponents' shirt in a bar) in other parts of the world you don't just get celebrations in your face, you get punched in the face. And maybe worse. Anyway, it's context...

I saw a bad Mueller as well but all the ratings I saw were quite high
