AI Thread Summary
Germany is leading 2-0 at halftime after a dominant performance, raising questions about the referee's decision to send off Lucic, which some believe was unjust. Despite the controversial officiating, Germany's offensive play has been impressive, effectively navigating the Swedish defense. Sweden's goalkeeper made several crucial saves, but overall, the team's performance was significantly weaker compared to previous matches, including a notable comparison to Costa Rica's struggle against Germany. Viewers are seeking replays of the goals, with suggestions to check ESPN Soccernet or BBC for highlights.

It's knockout time. Germany lead 2-0 at half time, after completely dominating the first half. I think the ref was totally wrong to send off Lucic. It looks like Germany got a lot of favourable decisions!

I missed the first two goals. Were they good? Anyone know where I can find replays?

I agree that the referee was questionable, but the Germans didn't leave a whole lot of doubt regardless. They were slipping through the Swedish defense pretty close to at will, some of the play looked like the Germans playing keep away (or pinball) in the Swedish box.

Except for their Goalie who got at least half a dozen good saves, Sweden did statistically worse than Costa Rica against Germany.
