The problem with that statement, even though you’re not wrong, is that Kimmich absolutely can defend. The guy was literally a second coming of Phillip Lahm for 2-3 years before the switch to CM, easily a top 3 RB in the world. Why he can’t, or won’t, defend as a 6 in the midfield is beyond me.
I would say Germany dominated most of the possession, but we’re threatening any more than the Mexican team.
Ochoa, the bane of my existence (as an American) made another couple good saves, including one huge one just before Germany scored the 2nd.
Germany looked dangerous at times, but they lack someone willing to play that 40yr ball onto a runner like Boateng. A few times they had a wing player or wide back making a run behind and just couldn’t get it to them.
Holy smokes, what did I miss in this first half ?!
