Yeh, I keep thinking that when I hear such comments.....
If Flick can't whip them into a decent shape over the last 18 months then that's their problem.
The funny thing is I think they played well in all 3 games. Were kinda unlucky vs Japan (who are really fucking impressive, tbh) and did well against Spain & Costa Rica. Were just in a very competitive group and it's gone down to goal difference.
It's a stacked team, with probably the highest rep manager at the tournament. Which makes all of it so much fucking funnier WOOHOOO.
