Cold and a lit bit of rain gave the Germans no pain as they beat USA 1-0 yesterday after a very important match.USA despite losing progresses to the next round while Nigeria and Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal is on way back to their respective destinations.So,today lets discuss what went wrong in Portugal's squad or what made a team like USA qualify to the next round despite being the weakest team in the group.And whether Germany has the capability to hold the world cup again.
Yesterday Germans were extremely good with almost 68% possession of the ball and the Americans really haven't tested the German players except some of the sparkling individual performances from them.Germans were attacking quite frequently and made it a heck of a day for goalkeeper Howard.Then at 55th minute the Attacking Midfielder Muller scored his 4th goal after heading a rebound which made it clear that Germany is playing with utter determination this year and that they had something big going on in their squad.USA were tired running after the ball for almost all the time.But their hard work paid off when they heard the news from the other match of the Group as Cristiano Ronaldo scored against Ghana and they were triumphed even after loosing 1-0 against their opponent on the afternoon.So Germany and USA both qualified.
Former German legendary Striker and current USA coach none other than Jurgen klinsmann said that "It was huge for us to get away from this group and actually qualified to the next round.Everybody said we have no chance but we took that chance and we moved on and now we really want to prove a point". Forward Clint Dempsey was also very happy with the situation and told media that "In the end we did enough to go through-we always believed we could qualify through to the next round if we played well and we have.It was a great moment for the USA fans also as they were very proud of what their team has done.
But what happened to the other side of the world?What happened to Portugal?I think what went wrong is nothing but the lack of co-ordination and the team based on a one man hope.Portugal Coach Bento has admitted that Portugal didn't played enough well to qualify to the round of sixteen and that they deserve what they got. Bento also added that it was the match against Germany which decided our fate as we lost our confidence though i am happy that we have been able to show what we are in the next two matches against USA and Ghana but somewhere we fall shot.
Yes,i totally agree with you there Mr. Bento as me too thinks that it was Germany because in that match everything went wrong with Portugal.First of all they were playing with Numerical inferiority and then some injuries happened which kept important players out of the match and then a huge defeat like that can make any team emotionally weak.So, i think that Portugal would take lesson from these world cup and would definitely try to develop themselves and the upcoming players for the next big tournaments.Congratulation to Germany and especially to USA for their advance in the competition.Hope for the best.
