Blame her for the loss? Germany will likely still progress from the group stage.

Could've been 2 or 3-0. Germany weren't terrible, exactly. They just were sluggish and inefficient (ha!) especially in the back.

Germany can't afford any more slip-ups. They'll probably go through with Mexico I'm guessing.

In the age of DVRs, delayed viewing is common. Especially on Father’s Day where we might have other plans for a while.
