I think that's become quite overstated. You'd much rather go into the game having played the way Germany have than go into it having played the way Spain have. To me the theory of "peaking too soon" only really means that every match is a new start, and it's irrelevant how teams have performed up to that point. It certainly doesn't imply that a team that played badly earlier in the tournament is more likely to play well in the latter stages than a team that's been fantastic all the way through.Yeah that's my fear - I think it was Uppercut who said that Germany, as good as they've been, seem to be playing at maximum capacity whereas Spain have made it to the same point without ever nearing top form. The feeling is that Spain still have another gear or two to hit, whereas perhaps Germany have peaked.
Haha, I don't think so. They've been the best team, and while the best team doesn't usually win the tournament, they win it more often than anyone else does.So it wasn't you who said it then?
Agreed though - if Germany can produce another England/Argentina performance they'll win this.
This.It's ridiculous they don't take into account Australian timezones when setting these matches.
