So I know Jeremy and Andreas are waiting for me to say this and I know that everyone else is thinking it but Germany has played the strongest football yet. Wow, what a show they put on.
Going into the match I felt that the match was a 60-40 in the favor of Germany. I did not feel that they were playing so well with Ballack out and then the recent loss of their keeper. I also felt that Australia, while traditionally average, was playing a bit better than they had in the past.
Was I wrong or what? The score could have been 6-0. What else do I say? Germany does look to be the favorite right now if we are going on quality of play but this is a long tournament. A lot can happen. I think we need to save our true judgments for after the group stage and see who we have to work with.
One question that I have is, I have heard from many people here that if you watched the Germany v. Australia match on tv, Australia played really dirty. Of course there was the red card and I felt at game speed without a replay was very warranted but others said that there were many challenges that were too aggressive and the whole match from Australia was dirty. Did anyone else feel that way? I would like to watch the match on tv maybe when we get home to see. Please comment and let me know what you think.
Cheers y’all.

Australia is known to play physical.
Germany was awesome in that game, but as I kept saying - they have problems keeping it up.
A little change in the setting (like a referee with two many yellow cards to show) and they get confused.
