Youth Revolution

Hi Football, Futbol, Soccer Fans:

So, many who have watched the beautiful game for a long time know that Germany is a tournament team. Germany always seems to be in the quarterfinals or the semis, but this current World Cup in South Africa many people, including myself, did not believe this German team was going to make a big splash, because the lost of Michael Ballack (captain), the unfortunate passing of Rene Adler (first-choice goalkeeper), and their youth.

Germany had an average age of 25 going into the World Cup, the second youngest team behind Ghana average age of 24.1. So many experts thought this young German team without their leader would faultier, how wrong we were.

This German team in my opinion has been the surprise team of the tournament, close second is Uruguay, and it's because of their youth. The likes of Ozil, Muller, Boateng, Schweinsteiger, and Neuer have really lite up the world with their skills. This young team has played with confidence, flair, tenacity, and composure.

The team as a whole did not have any pressure put on them before this competition, unlike England or Brazil. No, this team was just told to play Fußball, and have they played Fußball! I believe this youth revolution from the German camp has given us a new team and new players to watch for the future. Ozil and Muller have really been the backbone for this German team and they are only 21 and 20 respectively. These two players have played with more flair than any other player in the tournament; Ozil with great crossing and three assists, and Muller with four goals and three assists.

The way Germany has gone about its business during the past five games has showed us that youth has trumped experience, and the important factor that makes this statement so is the fact these young players are playing for the LOVE of the game and playing like a team. This team has six different goal scorers, and five players with assists. Like I stated earlier their was no pressure on this team to perform, and there is still no pressure to perform from their fans or country. This is extremely important, because it shows that when it comes to young players when you put so much pressure on their young minds it will only produce losing outcomes on the field, but if one instructs young players to go onto the pitch and play Fußball like they did in the backyard when they were kids then what we great is a dominate performance for the ages.

So win or loss against Spain this German team has given the World something to look forward too, especially Brazil 2014.
