The German keeper isn't afraid to come out of his area.
It works great if your keeper knows what he's doing as it allows your defense to play a really high offside line. This allows you to squeeze the space between your midfield and D to win the ball back quick.

C'mon laying on the ground writhing while holding your ankle is a universal language. I kid, I kid.

Asked the same question this weekend and all we could come up with was through emphatic hand gestures and pointing, and since it generally follows some action on the pitch I don't think you need real specific verbs and adjectives to get your point across. Plus tone and everything else... cussing is kind of universal in ways.
Most players have spent a lot of time in different countries and know how to "speak soccer" in several different languages. When they don't it's usually tone, and hand signals. Most Europeans know at least one other language as it's generally a schooling requirement and many towns/areas have two languages anyway.

I read an article sayingGelson Fernandes speaks 6-7 languages.

Germany's midfield looks really poor so far today. Kroos/Lahm aren't dynamic enough to make an impact (save the odd shot by Kroos) and Schweiny hasn't got any pace. Strange half from the Germans. You feel they need to change something tactically at half, but unsure if Low is capable of that?!

Don't understand why they are letting someone play with a maxi pad on their head.....

Howedes and Mustafi as Full Backs, Low has finally lost it as Lahm is way better than either and then you can bring in a actually good midfielder as well. Stupid....
They don't want any blood on the field, they're afraid you're favorite vampire's going to come out and attack him.

Lahm just doesn't look as effective playing in midfield than at full back.

Baffles me since Germany have Khedira and Draxler on the bench who are proper midfielders.

Everyone is baffled by this and its going to bite them in the ass in the long run. Hopefully theyll go ahead and fire the incompetent douche L?w this time.

Gotze was poor, but they need to switch tactics completely imo. Dragging off Gotze for Schurle is so typical Low....

Germany's defence looks a mess
Mustafi not in position, so Lahm has to do his job. Lahm's actual job as a right defender. Hilarious.

Gotze was poor, but they need to switch tactics completely imo. Dragging off Gotze for Schurle is so typical Low....
That's another thing to dislike about L?w, switching to plan B when your first half was utter shit is not his thing. He's just too stubborn in so many things.

That injury to Mustafi might actually have a positive effect on Germany.

Khedira coming on and Lahm to switch to full back most probably.

Still can't get over Low taking off Goetze, he's their most creative player that is at least established. You can talk about Draxler all you want but he was injured half the year and played for Schalke who competed for nothing.
