Germany kuat sial!

Argentina kene titik 4 - 0 tuhhhh! You wanna know why?

1. I always believe speed and paces are the key to win a game. And usually the youngsters have those. That is what exactly the German did. They fill in the squad with their youth. Thomas Muller is 21, Mesut Ozil is 22, Jerome Boateng (22), goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (24), and even their captain Phillip Lahm is 26. The oldest in the squad (minus goalkeeper sub) is Klose, who is 32 right now.

Plus five of the squad members were from the team who won the under 21 Euro Championship where they trashed England 4 - 0.

Funny thing heh, 10 years ago people said football player will reach the peak of their career when they are 27 or 28. But nowadays, it has lessen to 24. So you can imagine why young blood were so important nowadays.

2. Germany allows their ex-footballers to involve in their FA. Franz Beckenbauer for instance was vice President of German FA, and he also led German successful bid of World Cup 2006. Well, something we could learn about.

3. The Bundesliga. Their people always crazy about it, and most of the players in the teams are the Germans. Not like EPL, or worse Seria A. Inter Milan starting eleven, none of them were Italian.

Surprisingly they also got the second highest average attendance per game, just shy behind EPL. So you can just imagine how obsess their people over their league.

4. The team were coached by a German. I always believe this. Perhaps if you want to improve your squad, you might need to hire an outsider, but to win a World Cup, you definitely need a coach from your own country. The history has prove it.

5. The youth players development program. I'm not sure about this, and I tried to google it but couldn't find any, but I heared the commentator said something about 2 years ago the German FA found out there were something wrong about their youth program, so they revamped it totally and the outcome was the champion squad of under 21 Euro and this squad.

6. Tactics. The Argentinians were caught up in counter attacks. Except for the first goal. Plus Argentina lack of controlling possession in the midfield. Their midfield always lost the ball, lack of idea, and no follow up after every single attack. Maradona should have brought along Cambiasso in the first place.

Well, it is sad to see the Argentinians have to walk away like this. I personally was hoping to see Messi shines as what he did in Olympic 2008 and the European club tournaments. But on the other hand, I was relieved to see the Germans way of playing and I believe Argentina has lost to a better side. So their next game will be against the tournament favourite Spain, let see what the youngsters can do against the experience.
