yeah you're right, I think that's exactly what Löw's plan is, being so brilliant at attacking and pressing you don't need to defend. if they manage that, they're just perfect. i still think some decent defending would be nice, but maybe even more importantly the ability to turn a game around and regain control in situations like these. i don't think I've ever really seen them recover from a shock like that second swedish goal, or mario balotelli's topless goal celebration. ;)

but maybe this is the right moment for some key realizations??? löw's interview where he admits some mistakes made me sort of hopeful. did you see it?
