“It must be hard to lose against the smallest nation that has ever taken part in a championship, but to look on the bright side, they just won 23 tickets to go whale watching in beautiful
Husavik.”

Every time a country plays well in a game. Some one says the U.S.should use their plan and we would do well. Plans for world conquest in football are a dime a dozen. Belgium has a plan, Portugal has a plan, every country has a plan. Even the US had a plan at one time. We were supposed to win the WC a few years ago :) these plans are pipe dreams.
However Germany has a pretty good plan. They also have the players and the coaching to make it happen.
There plan is SKILFUL players and a ton of practice with players who are used to playing with and against each other. Mostly Dortmond and Bayern Munich with other strikers from other teams and the best sweeper/keeper in the world. It was like playing with 12 players not 11. That a fantastic plan.
The last time Italy won the WC forget the year. After watching Italy's first game I thought. These guys have so much Skill they will win the WC and as it turned out they did.
