freezing involved match situation sort team
This was the coldest match I have ever been involved in with any sort of team at any level. I've never been in a situation like this before. I was freezing on the bench.

You Germans moan too much and should stop. We do not believe you. Germany will be thereabouts next year.

We should have played better, especially in the first half, but we were able to overcome our difficulties.
agree brazil condition course group impose people scholars-and-scholarship style tricky
Of course Brazil has the condition to impose its style and advance. But I don't agree when people say the group is easy. It's actually a tricky group.

Because of the historical rivalry there are no friendly games between Brazil and Argentina.

The only good thing that came out of the first half was the goal. The midfield never connected with the attack, thankfully we corrected that, allowing us to easily win in the second period.

This win gives us security for the quarterfinals. It showed we are capable of playing good soccer.

It definitely feels different to beat Argentina. They are one of the references in world soccer. It's hard to describe how good this feels right now.

Planning doesn't depend on us. I wanted to play three or four games. The FIFA calendar isn't enough.

We never thought it would be easy. Argentina came with all these experienced players, but our team proved they are capable of overcoming any difficulties.
decided definitely
I will definitely make some changes, probably two or three. But it could be more than that, I haven't decided yet.
deciding good left miss players problems teams
Other teams have problems deciding who will be picked, we have problems deciding who will be left out. Some very good players will miss out because we can only take 23.
deadline extension
I think the extension of the deadline would make sense.
against allowed champion changing defending fifa immense played players similar thank
I was against the defending champion having to qualify, but we need to thank FIFA for changing the rules. We would have immense difficulties if we hadn't played the qualifiers. It allowed our players to play in a competitive situation, similar to what they will find in the Cup.
