@FCBayernEN: #ESP midfielder Pablo Sarabia ahead of tomorrow's game vs #POL: "Of course, Lewandowski is the principal threat. He’s had one heck of a season – but he often does. Our idea is to make him as uncomfortable as possible & move him into areas of pitch where he doesn’t want to be"i

@FCBayernEN: Thiago on Robert Lewandowski ahead of #ESP vs #POL: "We spent six lovely years together and that’s the nicest thing about football – the friends made along the way. He’s a great player and if there had been a Ballon d’Or last year, he would have won it" [@guardian_sport] https://ift.tt/3xx3a2n

For roughly 70 minutes, it appeared that this would end up as a lost cause, but the final 20 minutes proved eventful — and show that Germany still have the ability to dig deep and rally when it needs to.A draw isn’t a win, but it was good enough for this game. Here are some quick hitters on the match:The lineup went as anticipated with Hansi Flick opting for a 4-3-3 with Thomas Müller operating as the No. 9 (<em>Hint: It did not work</em>):Your <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GER?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GER</a> line-up to face <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ESP?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ESP</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FIFAWorldCup?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FIFAWorldCup</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ESPGER?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ESPGER</a> <a href="https://t.co/63bjSvs5yI">pic.twitter.com/63bjSvs5yI</a>— Germany (@DFB_Team_EN) <a href="https://twitter.com/DFB_Team_EN/status/1596921384776519680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 27, 2022</a>You could absolutely rant about this formation and the pieces within it, but Flick is literally spit-balling things right now. He tried some things...much of it didn’t work...now he will adapt again against Costa Rica.Spain was in control early, but Germany did seem to have a lot more jump in their step for this match. That was refreshing to see.In the 10th minute, Germany had a terrific opportunity, but no chances generated because Serge Gnabry went offside. İlkay Gündoğan has a nifty little flick to a hard-charging Leon Goretzka, but the Bayern Munich midfielder held on the the ball a smidge too long and Gnabry couldn’t hold his run any longer.Speaking of Gündoğan, I think it’s time to send him back to the bench. He does a lot of things...<em>okay</em>, but nothing great at this point.I think this was the first time I really saw Flick looked stressed. He looked beaten by this experience. That fire and constant real-time analysis that we saw during his Bayern Munich tenure was not there. This has to extremely maddening for him as he cannot seem to push the right buttons for this group (most of the time).In the 25th minute Germany had a crazy sequence where they had a few chances to make something happen, but Gündoğan inexplicably did not make a run to crash toward the net. Had he done that, he could have had a good chance to run into Gnabry’s wide shot attempt.Just a minute later, Manuel Neuer had a really baffling turnover, but David Raum bailed him out. It was a total “yikes” moment. Raum is a talent, but right now, Germany does not need his particular skill-set. I think we could see Christian Günter get his first start of the tournament.In the 40th minute, it looked like Joshua Kimmich had a perfectly-placed free kick on to the head of Antonio Rüdiger, who was centimeters offside in the end.Rüdiger has been very good in the World Cup so far.Gnabry was bad in key situations. He looked great right before he left Bayern Munich for the Germany camp, but has not been effective so far in the World Cup.In fact, Germany’s attack continued to be completely toothless and non-threatening.In the 62nd minute, Álvaro Morata, who had only been…

In a tournament not lacking for unfolding drama and entertaining group stage results, Group E is shaking up to be one of the most compelling.Here’s how German media outlets Sport Bild and kicker graded the action:<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ESP?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ESP</a> 1-1 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GER?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GER</a> | Player ratings [<a href="https://twitter.com/BILD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BILD</a>] <a href="https://t.co/srJb1L2Lge">pic.twitter.com/srJb1L2Lge</a>— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) <a href="https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1596999881390182400?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 27, 2022</a>Kicker's player ratings for <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ESP?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ESP</a> vs <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GER?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GER</a> <a href="https://t.co/FJcOq2dpXj">pic.twitter.com/FJcOq2dpXj</a>— Bayern & Die Mannschaft (@iMiaSanMia_en) <a href="https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia_en/status/1596989738270937089?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 27, 2022</a>Bild gave the referee a ‘2’, which is going to mystify the BFW commenting crowd, at least in the first half. In the second half I thought he made decisions that seemed fair, but...can we talk about that handball? No call, no VAR flag, no review, really?!Big discrepancy in David Raum’s rating across the outlets here. Raum was dogged for his showing here in the comments, and Bild seems to agree — but kicker was more even-handed.Another notable delta: ratings for Manuel Neuer. The sweeper-keeper OG had a befuddling moment passing out from the back but also made one of the saves of the tournament off this lethal early strike from RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo:Spain had an early chance but Germany's Manuel Neuer got a ✋ on it for the SAVE OF THE DAY. ⚽️ <a href="https://t.co/4Be0Ue4JMk">pic.twitter.com/4Be0Ue4JMk</a>— FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) <a href="https://twitter.com/FOXSoccer/status/1597040075946147844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 28, 2022</a>How good was Jamal Musiala’s drawn foul on Sergio Busquets, which resulted in a yellow for the Spanish maestro?Gavi-Pedri-Busi might be the most talented midfield Germany face all tournament, and not because they’re about to go out. Er, hopefully not, anyway!Leroy Sané, Niclas Füllkrug, and Lukas Klostermann all earned solid marks off the bench. <a href="https://www.fearthewall.com">Borussia Dortmund</a>’s Nico Schlotterbeck had less time to make his influence felt, but put in a crucial tackle inside his own box on Álvaro Morata late.<a href="https://www.managingmadrid.com">Real Madrid</a>’s Antonio Rudiger.
