Not Much Worse
4-0. That was the final score of Germany vs. Kazakhstan Saturday. 3 in the first half, including one in the first four minutes and one in the last minute of the first half. In the second half, Germany relaxed and just tried to keep the Kazakhstan side scoreless, although Klose scored one more.
As Sports.kz points out in their article Class is class [RU], it’s not so much that Kazakhstan lost as Germany won. And 4-0 is not a bad showing for our boys:
“Experts” may draw conclusions and begin “attacks” on the head coach. Optimists will look to the absence of some players and lack of teamwork, as the reason for the defeat with a large score. The rest will wait for the next away team to come to Kazakhstan, an easier opponent than the three-time world cup winners.
