2-3....Against the run of play.

Positives, in the first 15 minutes Germany played brilliantly, truly..

[yushida03]

at least the team showed that they can fight back when trailing..

a true fighting spirit.. that's what expected when i watch a germany game back in 80s and early 90s.. i admire them for these qualities - teamwork, discipline, patience and sheer determination.. a very high confidence level.. that's what separates germany from others.. even to some extend some ppl called the players the german 'robots', for they just don't know how to admit losing.. if i just want to see some beautiful skills or some nice footwork, i'd better go for brazil, or portugal, for that instance.

i loved to see the 'old' germany came back from a goal or 2 down.. 1970 WC q-final vs england, 1982 WC s-final vs France, 1986 WC final vs Argentina (altough lastly they lost 2-3), 1996 Euro final vs Czech Rep.. that's a few example of a game where the germans were trailing and most had lost hope in them, yet they continue fighting until the final minutes..

i would like to see the current team come from behind and win a game they are trailing 0-1, 0-2 or even 0-3 againts the so-called big names in soccer.. until then, i think they have something to prove..

do not misunderstood me.. i'm happy if a win no matter how it is won, but i think there's some aspect on psychological side need to be groomed into the current squad..

Nice spirit Yushida :) I can't be content with the team that much. I see that they played horrible last 30 minutes. We couldn't transfer the ball properly from our half to the "Operation square". Whenever the ball was intercepted it meant a direct threat on us. The two center backs were weak. Adriano caused them much trouble. I wonder what will they do against the likes of Ronaldo, Henry, Crespo, Schevchenko, Owen, Vierri & Torres.
I join my prays for those who call for the reemergence of Metzelder. But it's not all about hopes and prayers.
