Finding Hyman
I appreciate the inclusion of Sweden, but it is more probable that we'll crash out of the group without any wins this time.
What is true though is that they need to play a system to perfection to have a chance, and if they do manage to do just that then they could be dangerous. Germany is impossible though, Sweden never beats Germany. Spain, Italy, Netherlands, mighty Belgium , Brazil, Argentina we have beaten them all in tournaments before, Germany, never... And they are in our group.
Germany is susceptible though to subpar clubs that are just interested in numbers back and shutting it down. Swedens best chance, goes without saying, is a low scoring game. Anything can happen and the thing is Germany is facing no weakest links in their group. Several of the groups feature teams that are not all that good.
Didn't Germany beat Saudi Arabia 8-1 in 2002? Seem to recall that blow out. Saudi's seem to be like a gift matchup to anybody. Do they pay their way in?
