What a match!
Germany scores 4 goals against Australia. German precision was impressive to watch. Germany had possession most of the time. Stats show that Germany possessed the ball 55% of the time, but if you watched the game, it seemed like they had possession 90% of the time.
The first goal from Lukas Podolsky was a classic and a beauty to watch.
The second goal from Mirsolav Klose was an impressive example of a header. How does anyone have the composure to accurately deflect a ball to the goal like that?
The third goal was an exercise in composure. The young Thomas Mueller kicked that goal in what seemed like slow motion in real time. He was very deliberate in the way he kicked the ball to deflect off the goal post. This is delicious soccer!
The fourth goal was the result (I think) of the Australians being exhausted and demoralized. It was disheartening to watch them. Cacau had just come in as a replacement. And he scored off an assist.
It was as if the Australians were paralyzed. They could hardly get possession of the ball and when they did, the Germans were easily able to regain possession.
What a machine! Can Germany keep this up?
