I'd like to see Germany play Brazil again because I reckon the Brazilians might get their revenge.
Fair point, that comment was OTT. The have no depth in central midfield, but they have goals and pace. I just wonder if they have a good balance this year coupled with a slightly lower than usual pressure on the team. They could do with a Carrick type though,
