World Cup -- Quarterfinals: France vs Germany (July 4th 2014)

I know alot of Germans are bashing the formation and style of this current German squad but maybe it's what needed to win. Past few tourny's germany looked great and played the most exciting football but eventually crashed out to more defensive oriented teams.

As long as Germany isn't playing the anti-football lineup(Lahm-Khedira midfield, 4 CB's) they should be the favorites. Like it or not the defensive and disciplined teams win the World Cup. Plus Germany still has enough quality in the final third anyway. They could use a healthy Mario Gomez though

no, we couldnt.
Klose at this stage of his career is still better than Mario Gomez

Klose is better, but he can only effectively play 30 mins and Gomez is better up front than M
