Re: Tuesday Open Thread (none / 0)

Dante is an excellent defender, so it's a bit of a mystery why replacing Silva with him should have resulted in this.

There was no midfield defense or pressing from Brazil. 'Schland was already better at quick "whatever one calls turnarounds (schnell umschalten)," and the passes were the best since the opening match.

Dante was not the problem, he played a fine match.

At the first goal, which resulted from a corner kick, a grand total of five Brazilians were guarding Hummels while none guarded Müller. That's a total defence blackout.
