South Korea v Germany/Mexico v Sweden, 15:00 BST, BBC1/BBC2

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Germany to screw it up in glorious fashion?

Unlikely.

[Goonermerree]

We need for Sweden to win and Germany to draw, can't see either happening. Stupid Sweden, it's their fault.

[Marc Overmars]

I’m sure Germany will give South Korea a good kicking and qualify. Mexico and Sweden could be interesting with both having it all to play for. Crazy to think a team could possibly go out on 6 points.

[SMatthews]

Muller dropped and Ozil back to screw it up for the Germans.

[Goonermerree]

You just know that, after nearly going out in the group stages, either Brazil, Germany or Argentina will win the thing.

Yes, without a doubt that will happen

[Power n Glory]

The "striker" was Hummels but you are correct that it was easier to score than screw up.

As for the agenda, I get the impression that some people would prefer to have an Arsenal team of 10 outfield players who run around looking industrious but without the necessary skills to succeed at the highest levels, rather than a team of skillful players who can compete with the best teams in Europe. The question is do people want a team that aspires to challenge and beat teams like Real Madrid, or do they want a team that is happy to splash around in the mud pits of lower level English teams? IMO, Ozil is the type of player a team needs to achieve the former.

Ozil is not that player. How much more proof is needed?

Nothing to do with Ozil. It's all down to Germany deciding to buy into the bollocks game that has afflicted almost every team in this unwatchable mess of a competition. Sideways, backwards, slow and boring. The modern game. I like the Croatians. They are shit too, when compared to teams of the past, but at least they have a bit of energy about them. Mind you, only saw them once so perhaps it was an anomaly.

This tragic tournament, hot on the heels of the diabolical Euros, is another nail in football's coffin. Although modern fans still seem gripped by the hype, despite the now almost total absence of substance. Can't last though.

I keep saying that, but it keeps on keeping on.

Woe is Ozil. Always the victim of circumstance. He's just not an elite player that's able to effect the outcome of a game. Plenty of deeply flawed squads in the competition but most of Ozil's peers have found a way to make an impact despite the circumstances. Even Granit Xhaka!
