What a match in Slovakia on Sunday. Another thriller for the Germans at U-21 EUROs sees Germany advance to the semifinals to face France and Bayern Munich alumni Mathys Tel. It seemed as though Germany were facing elimination, but Italy’s kryptonite was themselves, allowing Germany to crawl back
Italy seeing red
In what looked to be a great effort from the Italians, turned bad quickly as two red cards in the second half quickly took away their hopes of winning. Italy had a great match and if it weren’t for sloppy tackling, they surely could have won this game. Even down two men, they were never really out of it.
Germany can win it all
Germany’s first two matches against weaker competition were huge confidence boosts heading into the big matches. A win over England and now Italy will be massive for continuing and winning this tournament. Germany will now face France in the semi-finals, but is certainly a winnable game for Woltemade and company.
Nick Woltemade once again the star
The VfB Stuttgart forward has once again the hero, scoring and assisting in this match. Woltemade is no longer a rising talent, he is a baller and will surely be one of the hottest names of the summer, as teams look for their next elite striker. Woltemade is once again the lone leading goal scorer with five goals, and lone leading assister with 3. Germany might have found their next guy up top.
