Lewandowski hoping to finally find the net against Ukraine

“Last week it was all about the defense, now it’s offense”, Germany coach Joachim Loew said Saturday at the team’s tournament base, appearing relaxed before his side’s final group game against Northern Ireland in Paris on Tuesday. “We spoke about this after the game and it showed in the analysis yesterday”, Loew said, adding that Germany’s lack of creativity was not fitness-related. This side is filled with talent all across the field but the problem is still the in goal scoring and I think they will look to deal with that issue in this game by playing Thomas Muller as more of a striker. I have split my analysis into four parts: the best team so far, the worst team so far, the surprise package of the tournament so far, and the most disappointing team so far.

“We understand the man aged in his sixties collapsed during the game and was attended to by emergency services in the Stade de Lyon”.

Gillespie was out with talkSPORT presenter Colin Murray, who uploaded footage of the former Manchester United player crowd surfing to his Twitter profile.

“But I’ve never felt an experience in a changing room like that after the Ukraine game, with such a brotherhood of team-mates”.

“If you don’t believe you can win a football match, you’re in the wrong sport”.

“As a fan I am absolutely delighted for every player”.

His younger brother Corry, 25, made history to become the first siblings ever to play a tournament game for Northern Ireland.

“None of the lads deserve to be dropped after the performance they put in, they deserve another chance against the world champions”. Northern Ireland would go through with a win and will finish third in the group with a draw or loss. Going forward they seem to be well capable of causing problems, but their defensive showing against the Czech Republic make me wonder if they might be exposed when they come up against better opposition in the later rounds.

“We needed that level of intensity and energy and we maintained it throughout”.

“I’ve had some good days in football, some great moments, but beating Ukraine has got to top them all”. They have a ridiculous amount of quality but I’ve been brought up to fear no man, only God. The Poles had an early opening in session, but after that it was German traffic all the way. “I really didn’t. But I don’t want it to stop”.
