Strength is definitely on the decline these days, with an aging staff and no youth output leading to some stumbling in the games they play nowadays. Then in the North American qualifiers, ranked fourth, participated in the play-offs, facing the weaker New Zealand, only to finally 1-0 defeat opponents, a thrilling advancement, but also proved that their strength has lacked dominance. In the first round, they were completely lost in Spain's dazzling ball control, and their weak defense was completely penetrated, eventually defeating their opponents 0-7. The next round of face, finally they rely on the defense counterattack, 1-0 to get the key three points, this Japanese team rotated a number of main force, more or less a little light enemy. This time, facing the giants Germany, their defense will be tested again.
Germany's strength can not be repeated, because it is a member of the main components of Germany, the outside world that is the idea of passing control, engraved within the German ball blood, resulting in now also gradually embarked on the road of passing control. This list, Mueller, Sané, Gretzka, Haftz, Gnabry lead, still very strong enough, but the front line, only Adeyemi and Mukoko attack. The first round of the face of Japan is a light enemy, the final 1-2 defeated the opponent, the second round of the face of Spain, the final 1-1 draw, Falkoglu help the team scored an equalizing goal, I have to say that the high center is still good to make, which may make the Germans wake up a little bit. Facing Costa Rica, they can't afford to lose, and it's better to have two more clean sheets.
