Germany did not really play like Germany, but it was enough against this team. Algeria's gameplan was dump and chase, and it's worrying how effective it looked at times. Hummels is definitely missed. Great show by both keepers though.
Despite the goal, Oezil had a horrendous game. Lahm is utterly unremarkable in midfield, but is truly brilliant in defense. Why the hell do they play him in midfield? Germany has more than enough midfielders, but are short on defense. You can't be pushing Lahm up and leaving the position to Mustafi.
