Germany broke against England with a long ball to Ozil out of a set piece. The ball call to Ozil on the left wing, with a lot of England players up the pitch. Although it wasn't obvious at the time, Ozil and Germany had gone over this before - Mesut chalked his boots, and looked up to see who he was supposed to beat. Before you could say Gaz Baz, he'd been skinned and the ball was in the back of the net.
Germany broke against Argentina with a long ball to Ozil out of a set piece. By now, I'd seen this before, so it got off me off my seat. Some in the room smelled blood, while others looked about with a look as if to say what's the big deal? This time, Mesut was on the right, and he started to look up to see who he was supposed to beat. Before you could say Little Chief, Javier Mascherano, the captain of Argentina, was trotting away with the jabulani. The folks who hadn't sensed the danger to begin with weren't that impressed. Then again, they're probably the ones who were fooled by Didi's lazy look too.
Little Chief covered grass like a thoroughbred to rob Ozil. It was a sight to behold. He came from miles away, robbed him, and walked off. You could see the difference between the midfields of England and Argentina right there. While Barry and Lampard just got thumped, Mascherano did his best impression of Leonidas.
We'll miss Mash. No team can let the premier destroyer in the world go, and not feel an aftereffect. Especially not the team that suffered a similar hangover after drinking too much Xabi.
In one that post . Whatever you think of him as a man is not the point , as a player he has alway given 100% on the field and we will miss him . Brilliant player and brilliant leader (on the pitch .)
bollox, for all we know he was the disruption to the cause. no man is bigger than the club, hes wanted out for over a year, and he'll soon get his wish, and we'll get someone better.
Righty ho then .
