I've decided.  Poland to win and N.Ireland to beat Germany.  Now that would be funny and just rewards for their disgusting manager sniffing his own rectum. 

Knowing Germany's luck, they will still advance to the round of 16 with such results.

Probably. Germany only needs luck while everyone else has to win by skill.

I guess if Germany somehow doesn't make it to the knockout stage it's just bad luck as well.

Looks like Northern Ireland is at least on the same level as Germany.

Obviously. And since Poland won against NIR they already won against Germany. It's simple math, really. No damage control necessary, it's destiny.

And who will score goals now that Löw took out Mustafi?

It's done then. Germany and Ireland both won 2:0 with Ukraine, hence are on par. Poland won 1:0 with Ireland, so today's score is going to be 1:0 for Poland.

The only way for Germany and Poland not advancing is if we both lose today. Hoping for a great match. If we can beat math, we can beat anything.

I hope they switch out Khedira with Schweinsteiger as soon as possible. That foul was completely moronic.

Meh first half. They're both scared shitless of each other. Germany is just not fast enough in the attack. I hate that Draxler is always making the game slow. I want Gomez for Draxler and Götze to switch to the left. They should also stop with the fucking unnecessary fouls.

Poland should grow some balls and start playing as if they mean it and not just wait for counters.

Better than expected defensive work. I'd be happy with a draw.

You know my stance on Götze being the central striker. He is once more pretty poor.
We definitely need Schweinsteiger as Khedira cannot even shoot straight.

How can you blame Götze when everyone is scared to make a fast pass into the middle? What's a middle forward gonna do?

So glad to see Bale's face at the end of the game. Might shut him up for a while

What has he been saying?

He was harping on about how Wales have more passion than the other British team, something along those lines, tbh having seen that match he best keep his mouth closed in future. Russia is not even an easy game either.

Because there are like 8 Polish players defending the box, so there's no point in trying to get through there and he's too short for headers. So either put Müller in his position instead or sub Götze with Gomez.
