Brazil 2014 world cup has been so far based on neurotic defense and liberated attacking football but at some times it has bored us as well.Exactly the same thing happened yesterday when Germany faced France.Germany made a record yesterday to be the one team who successively qualified for world cup semi-finals for four times continuously though they haven't won in any of this world cup.This is not that lavishly exciting German team and they also haven't shown that ruthless attitude of scoring goals as we all would have expected.While France was full of new and young(mostly inexperience players) and was comparatively weak in front of Germany.
Yesterday around thousands of fans were present in the famous Maracana stadium to watch this epic clash between the two giants of central European countries-Germany facing France.From the very beginning of the match Germany dominated the game.With their passing ability Germany had managed to kept the ball possession very high which also resulted to the header of mats Hummels in the 12th minute which was the first and the only goal of the match.Though Germany were keeping more possession but it didn't stop France to show their counter-attacking ability as Benzema had been able to show his talent in front of the goal but Neuer yesterday was absolutely brilliant..Through the whole match France had very little attacking position and when they did have any real chance it was Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer who had stopped them.
Although the game didn't showed any type of ebullient mood but it did showcased the fact that this Germany team have that potential to be the very best at the world.However German coach Jaochim Low said that "South American teams are at an advantage as they are comfortable with the climate and knows how to play on this turf".No,doubt what he was intending to say and to whom he specifically indicated those words to?Of course it was Brazil whom they will face on the semi-finals.His words also brought some speculations that whether he is a little bit nervous but then again nothing can be said right now.
On the other half-disappointing manager Deschamps said that his team was unlucky as because they had created a lot of chances but due to lack of experience players and good German defense they were unable to convert those few little chances they created.France clearly had a motive for these years world cup with 8 goals in their first two opening matches but then somewhere in the middle they failed to keep up with the heat in Brazil.Anyways Germany will face the homeboys i.e Brasil in the semi-finals which would a very tough match for the central European
team
