Germany’s world cup is saved in the blink of an eye (and flick of a foot)

Germany restored It’s 2018 world cup hopes with swing of Toni Kroo’s foot on Saturday night victory over Sweden from the jaws of a draw that would have felt very much like a defeat. It came on a night when the Germans produced twice shots as Sweden. And to battle back from a 1-0 deficit at halftime, and then the final part of the game play a man down after Jerome boating was sent Offwith a red card.

But Germany found a way to survive, with Kroos’s goal, on a finely orchestrated free-kick play. The goal, and the victory completely altered the dynamic at this world cup for the Germans who raced to Kroos at the corner flag and smothered him with a mix of joy and Relief.the defending champion, would somehow be out of the world cup after the first round of this game.

Four changes to the lineup and the death rattle of an early exit erased any hint of listlessness on germany’s part in this game. Over 90 minutes, the German strategy seemed rather simple: push the ball up the center or the wing, slot it wide cross it back in and crash the net. If the Swedes cleared the cycle would start all over. even after Sweden took the 1-0 lead, the Germans just resumed their attack. Crosses,  Shotes and more chances.
