    Germany vs. Argentina: a clash of styles in the World Cup

    Germany vs. Argentina: a clash of styles in the World Cup Final

    Germany will meet Argentina on Sunday to determine the 2014 World Cup champion. It will either be Germany’s fourth World Cup or Argentina’s third, and either the first World Cup won by a European team in the Western Hemisphere or the second time one of Brazil’s neighbors to the south has risen to glory at a Brazilian World Cup. It is also a meeting of the tournament’s best attacking team and its best defensive team.

    Germany’s historic stomping of Brazil was not its only dominant attacking performance of the tournament. There was also the 4-0 first-match destruction of Portugal. Further, even though the Germans had to go to extra time against Algeria, they created more big chances in that match than any other team in this World Cup. The following chart shows the best attacking performances of the World Cup based on expected goals. In other words, how many more expected goals a team produced compared to the projected number the opponent would allow. So the big wins of Netherlands and Germany over Spain and Brazil, respectively, stand out because they beat up two of the best teams in the world.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    Yes...but No! How did Germany's defense perform?

    ...and in matches how many of the German attacks came down a flank before 'the finishing'?

    A look at match v Brazil
    7 goals!

    1st - set piece a CORNER - ball came in from the flank - Muller passes on goal - GOAL!

    2nd - Thomas Muller by right touch-line crosses on ground...runs in and receives ball from teammate stops it for Klose...Klose passes at goal once - Brazilian 'keeper stops ball - goes back to Klose -Klose passes again on goal - Goal!

    7th goal Thomas Muller crosses - in air to Schurrle - takes ball down with right foot - shoots with left - GOAL!

    What did the article say?
    -
    The German style, much like the Spanish, focuses on short passing to keep possession. It eschews crosses from wide areas, preferring to pass the ball through the center of the defense to create chances.

    Beg to differ. Not this German TEAM attacks come from anywhere!!! Through the middle...flanks...on the ground...in the air...just anywhere!!!!

    ...and where there 2 other goals where the 2nd from last touch (pass on goal) were from Germans on a flank?
