Like Spain and Italy the Germans too lacked quality strikers and the three had to pay a heavy price in the form of early elimination. The Czech coach looks to be the toughest on view who can bring out the best from his second string as well. The Czech bench strength appears formidable and the coach shows an extraordinary sense of timing when he makes his substitutions. We wish the team well in their next round and hope to see some effective strikers from German coach Rudi Voeller in future international competitions.
