We really need to work on our crosses. We wasted many corners and set pieces because of that.

I knew we shouldn't have put Jansen on the field.
The decenet players tonight: Lahm, Podolski & Frings
Schweinsteiger would have been on the list, considering that when he came on, we started attacking more and were able to pull one back. But he ain't included since he made that stupid desicion of pushing the other guy.
Metz & Merte... What the fuck? I said before that they needed to communicate better. What's up with them both on 1 guy? On the 1st goal, they were both covering the No.19 player. Leaving sucky Jansen to cover the No.11 ... Where he did SUCH A GREAT JOB...
Lehmann = shit ... do i need to add anything more? Yeah. He stopped a good shot. (which again, Metz & Merte were on top of the same guy as he pass-headed to the dude who fired the shot). But it was straight at him. Nothing special there. Felt he could have done something for the 2nd goal.
Jansen... Where do i start? This was his most horrible performance ever. I mean. Damn. As i said, he's suppossed to be our most defensive LB and i could have done a better job as LB. Should be benched for the rest of the Euro. Also robbed Podolski a good shooting chance. Stupid of him.
Frings did well. He seemed to be the only one trying to push the team forward. Something that a captain does. Ballack didn't do shit. Ok. One good free kick. Nothing more. His passes were shit. Didn't inspire anyone.
Lahm. Great game. Really good on both sides. No complaints there.
Fritz. He didn't have such a good game as he did vs Poland. But he still didn't do well. It seemed if we had no right side of the field. He couldn't get anything going.
Klose and Gomez aren't doing anything. I feel Gomez should be benched. Had enough of him. I'd rather have him come in as a sub later on in the game.
Podolski did really good. Tried many attacks on the left. Got into the game. Grabbed a goal.
The subs were dull.
Bad call getting Odonkor out there. Nothing changed. We still seemed not to have a player on the right. Nothing gained. The only "positive" thing was that he got Jansen off the field.
Felt the defence was better with Lahm on the left and droppin Fritz as RB.
Kuranyi? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I mean... he's shit! I'm starting to miss Marco Marin not being called up for the Euro... and this garbage gets a call? Really stupid. He didn't add anything to our game. Didn't get involved.
Low did badly there.
Schweinsteiger was a good entry but a little too late. Gomez out. That was a good thing. As i said, he would have gotten into my "decent" list but he fucked up in the end.
But...
Credit to Croatia for being able to exploit our weak points (Jansen and the Merte-Metz bad partnership & lack of communication).
They were able to control our right side of the field and didn't let Ballack do anything (though he didn't do anything at all, really. Just show up).
They deserved a win.
Now...
We're most likely to get 2nd place now. Unless Poland defeats Croatia next round and we beat Austria by +2... Only then we can get the 1st spot. If not...
We're facing Portugal. A side i feel it's too early to cross swords with. But oh well. Practically the whole team fucked up and didn't give the will nor the effort into doing anything.
