World cup 2014
Brasil – Germany
Germany and Brazil are set to face each other in a World Cup 2014 semi final match, after an impressive 1-0 win over France, Germany look like to go all the way now.
The most important match for today, is the first semifinal of the World Championship in Brazil, here Brazil and Germany will face today, and it will be a hard match and full of suspense . The match promises to be extremely interesting and spectacular, is not the fist time when those two important teams are playing face to face in such an important moment for the soccer, they have played in 2002 in the World Cup final, and there Brasil was the winner, after they have tried hard defeat Germany,which is not an easy opponent to defeat.
Germany coach Joachim Loew reverted to an older central midfield pairing of Sami Khedira and Bastian Schweinsteiger, while pushing Philipp Lahm back to right-back, a position commentators and football analysts have argued is his best position.
Coach Felipe Scolari needs to get the best out of his remaining squad if Brazil are to beat Germany.
Unfortunately, Brazil 2014 isn’t the Brazil team of the 1960s thru 1980s. Flair and skills are pushed to the periphery, and if anything, Brazil are playing a very European defensive and counter attacking style today.
Germany successfully neutralized the counter attacking initiative of France — a team arguably better at the European game — with their defending and ball retention, and their midfield trio of Schweinsteiger, Khedira and Toni Kroos hold and pass the ball better than the defensive-minded Paulinho, Fernando, and Luiz Gustavo.
