Halftime observations and analysis

• Germany started the game strongly, but scoring the goal seemed to negatively impact the team’s mindset. Mexico quickly gained momentum and the Germans’ performance in the latter part of the first half was subpar.
• The presence of FOUR attacking midfielders, constantly interchanging positions, sounds good in theory but has confused the players and hindered the team’s ability to create scoring opportunities.
• Mexico has proven to be a more formidable opponent than the USMNT thus far. They are well-organized defensively and have ideas in attack.
• Gündogan has delivered an outstanding performance for Germany in the first half, deserving the Man of the Match title.
• Ter Stegen continues to face allegations of not living up to the standards set by his predecessor, “ter Standing”.

Kickoff: We’re underway!

---

One hour until kickoff: Julian Nagelsmann has opted for an experimental 4-2-2-2 formation, featuring Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Leroy Sané, and Thomas Müller up top. The rest of the lineup remains unchanged. Excitement surrounds the Nagelsmann era, and a victory against Mexico would be a significant step towards a successful Euro 2024 campaign in Germany.

There is a 15-minute delay to the kickoff.

Germany is back to winning games! This is a fact that Germany fans have not taken for granted as they have had little to celebrate recently. Julian Nagelsmann’s tenure started strongly with a 3-1 victory over the USMNT, and now Mexico faces this rejuvenated German national team.

From a Bayern Munich perspective, Thomas Müller might feature as a striker and Leon Goretzka could make his return to the starting eleven after being dropped by Flick in September. There is significant excitement surrounding the Nagelsmann era, and defeating Mexico would be a major step towards a successful Euro 2024 hosted by Germany.
