I think his style of play could have worked well against the German defence. Good point about the German support during the penalties, too... I hate to imagine what it's like trying to take a penalty with all those people whistling and booing at you.

And when it came to penalties you need support in those moments and Germans had support of 70k plus people.... and that says it all.

I'd still rather face Germany than Argentina, though I watched the game as a passive. Italy do seem to be hitting their stride, though as far as Ukraine go, "one man do not maketh a team". Did we ever find out why the violence flared on-pitch after the German/Argentinian game? Great football yesterday.
