Good win for Germany, they had 6 chances and scored 4 goals, you can't ask for much more than that.
Switzerland played well, they didn't deserve to get beaten so badly, I'd say 2-1 would be the right score. But like Gary Lineker says, it's 11 vs 11 and at the end Germany wins.


Some notes on each player:

Lehmann was good actually, made no real mistakes and pulled one great save and dominated all the crosses.

Westermann is shit, got owned so many times and almost scored an own goal. This guy looks like the German version of an out of form Van Buyten.
Mertesacker may be 1.98m, but he loses way too many duels in the air, it looked quite easy to anticipate him, the Swiss players did it quite often.

Jansen was top class, always driving the team forward with his runs down the flank. Was very solid in defence as well. He picked up a knock though, hope it isn't too serious.
Lahm didn't go forward as much and his crossing wasn't too good, but he cut out most of the attacks, had just one great run when he took the ball to the penalty box, then passed to Gomez who missed. Played RM for the last 20 minutes.

Hitz's passing was a bit off, but his tackling was superb, he covered for Ballack really well. And his long range shots are class.
Ballack did well, the midfield with him is just another thing, I hate the guy but he is fucking class. Was unlucky not to score a goal.

Schweini was lazy when he had to track back as always, but going forward he did well. Fritz was ok going forward, but his main role was to cut out the counterattacks of Switzerland, which he did quite well. Also made an assist.

Gomez was very active, always trying open spaces in the Swiss defence. Made an assist and scored 2 goals, you can't ask for much more than that. Missed a great chance but still, man of the match for me.
Klose was a bit quiet, scored the goal but that was pretty much it.

Podolski did well, had a great chance on the 62nd minute, but Benaglio pulled an amazing save, made the assist for the 3rd goal and scored the 4th.

Kuranyi was ok, made an assist and worked well up front.

Troche, Rolfes and Friedrich were pretty much unnoticed.
