Down 1-0 already, very soft goal if nicely worked from a German point of view. Goalscorer basically had a free shot from around the penalty spot after losing Collins (I think it was).
Germany made five changes to the side that started the previous match, not sure how many were enforced so nothing too radical anyway.
They have a guy called Maurice Malone up front... surely one for the eligibility thread maybe.
Jaysus... 2-0... great strike from the edge of the penalty box but again way too much space.
We had actually started pretty well, Connolly getting on a lot of ball early on.
Germany are already 2-0 up after 15 minutes.

(Sound doesn't appear to be working though.)
3-0. Yikes.
What kind of criteria are they using? A 1-0 for Bosnia would mean that themselves, ourselves and Serbia are all tied exactly on goals scored, goal difference and points. You'd think Serbia would surely have the edge in that scenario having lost by the least amount of goals to Germany (as things stand)?
4-0 now
Aaron Connolly booked for simulation inside the German box. It did look like he stuck his leg out looking for "contact", in fairness.
5-0, O'Brien out.
Some dreadful goals. Don't want to sound too harsh on a young fella but the Collins chap looks all at sea.
The lack of competitiveness is ominous and certainly doesn't bode well for the future. If this game is anything to go by, it seems we'll still be lagging well behind Europe's elite sides in years to come.
I don't think Germany will ever be our benchmark to be fair, we should have beaten Serbia from what I saw and did beat Bosnia so not a bad showing overall really. Disappointing to bow out like this though.
