World Cup match report Germany v Mexico 17 June 2018
Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos said what is discussed on talk shows should not concern the players, adding: “We are here to play football”.
North American soccer has always been magnitudes below Europe and South America’s best.
Mexico is due to training at its complex outside of Moscow on Monday morning in preparation for its match against Korea on June 23 in Rostov. “But Germany had no plan B, no clear chances and no defensive intelligence”.
The highly-rated PSV Eindhoven forward struck the victor on 35 minutes after a blistering counter-attack at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow as Mexico beat Germany for just the second time in history.
Mexico lineup: Guillermo Ochoa, Hugo Ayala, Carlos Salcedo, Miguel Layun, Carlos Vela, Javier Hernandez, Hector Moreno, Hector Herrera, Andres Guardado, Hirving Lozano, Jesus Gallardo. The photographs unleashed a storm of criticism from lawmakers across Germany’s political spectrum and the country’s football federation, all of whom argued that Erdogan does not sufficiently respect German values.
Juan Carlos Osorio’s side had other ideas, however, holding their own against the favorites’ fearsome but slowing midfield and finding space at the back and seeking to end 33 years without a win against Germany.
Loew looked trendy cool in black trousers, black T-shirt and white sneakers, and Osorio resembled an academic in a white dress shirt with sleeves rolled up.
“A wake-up call is too late”. That defeat to Germany followed a 7-0 mauling at the hands of Chile a year earlier at the Copa America Centenario. Mexico has lost six straight knockout matches.
Low’s side had 26 shots, the most by a side without scoring in a World Cup match since 2006 (Portugal v England, 29 shots in a 0-0 draw). “Everybody in Mexico wants that fifth game”.

Germany will now be under pressure when they face Sweden next in their second group tie. There can be obstacles to overcome and in the next match we must be much better. “It is having the absolute will that is going to be the deciding factor and everyone of us needs to fill up on self-confidence”.
