twice as angle and sealed a three two victory in the spanish city of seville despite the loss spain still remains top of the group and germany's national football team has yet to bounce back from this year's disastrous world cup on saturday they lost three nil to the netherlands they now face world champions france in the nation's league that's coming up tonight criticism of coach your home love is mounting as one poll shows ninety percent of german fans want to mount of the job. it's no walk in the park for coach york removed these days germany trained inside the stop to france on monday after their debacle in amsterdam they need to bounce back against the world champions another heavy loss could spell the end of his tenure. as he just more task here is to put in a different one executed well. everything else has to be blanked out of. course i have to take the criticism but i can handle it well. the players also know
