no you go it's you it's are you excited about the world cup show you how could you show me when to. go oh well.

the. kids are. going on in games only. does she don't think so don't judge them as i can join the hijacking dealing with the saying i'm done for some in that are equal born until just recently and only those are still some we've got going on in condolence to those who don't read until name to believe that those old putting in a song is a downside to us at all to the sitting on.

join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. hello welcome to day four of the world cup here in russia there was enough time to think germany max and i live in my last day and you can say to me so long to say i am because they're playing really well mexico well when i found a cracking goal saying and i having this on i thirty five minutes yeah and they could have been up to three goals. roger i'm going to have them to knock it i mean i don't know what's wrong they're struggling really really struck and defending on the right inside. that the young coming superstar. than it was scored the goal

i mean he's been telling the terrorizing to me. i mean they look they look like they're not ready they looked like that and in particular to send the half the new ball and then what mexico is doing they're letting the german have the ball high up the pitch and then the trained really really quickly and germany convalescence and powering three midfield and then spraying the ball right or left miami left and that's where all the problems are getting close i think the big debate in germany up to this game has been is us are going to play and i think the answer for for york in north america probably should not play him because you know this isn't don't play well i mean it's a really big problem for him a place with doesn't work hard enough and he's been trying a few times to get a free kick out of nothing and the referee would know about it and he kind of lost his mind and it's basically a team trying to carry someone who is so important someone who's going to be the

creative. making the. clever intelligent passes in someone like me but it's not happening it's not just making very few chances significantly what we've got to go to show you i think so pace just running straight and great goal and. here we see. no. but that's because it's in peek into that coming from the fans even coming from the other side. and you know it's a world champion so one meltdown you think well this is a big surprise but i have to be completely honest it's not mexico they just heard this week the one that probably should have been two maybe even three children i when we were watching it you said i know that germany on looking very good but you know what they can always score a goal and then just before halftime a free kick but this is vintage germany in and again what we have to parry mind this the first game in the group phase and it's important but it's not this game

that you win the world championship up it's all about getting through these games and into the next stage and build momentum and this is vintage germany they've done it so many times played really really bad and then they end up scoring and they've got a frequent outside the box and i said to you this is trying to cross territory and he will score and put at the top corner and if it hadn't been for sure it's a magnificent save it would have been in the top corner but you know the only one goes down this is what you can live will be telling the now you're not playing well there's none of you none of the eleven a plane well we're only one no down it's only takes one more goal and we're back in the game and this is what germany are so good at so what they're going to have to change in a second apart from well i don't know looking at it i would have thought he's going to have to do something different i can live because they just seem to be stationary on the pitch well the big paid i said. i would i would put the gun on now and get a little bit of creativity someone who can do just anything by himself because

everything is static it's just passing passing passing and mexico it's easy for them to defend the defense first with a three and then the closer they get he gets into a four and then it becomes a five with three right in front of the the five so there's no room for the ball to go away and. so unless you know of someone who can dribble and actually understand the process it's not coming from school today absolutely not so maybe that's a change to change i guess you might expect a change in midfield if nothing else at the moment one will that we were saying earlier operations that one will germany along with some sources don't farm well why do you have to say that. experts guiding people through all this and now you do that. well anyway i still fail because i've seen germany play a lot and i wouldn't be surprised i'm back here full time with you and germany have won this match saw everything we just said absolutely not there again let me say the same thing it's vented germany this is how they build up momentum you know they

don't play well some reason they fight the final throughout the game or throughout the first three games but they will find that they will correct that and when you look at the players that your cumulative he's got available that are not playing today i mean it's it's pure call it the quality he's got options on the bench and he like everybody else wouldn't really know how the players would respond to the first game but it's obvious that one or two of them don't play well and he needs to change with the change that now at half time or you wait a little bit and see how it goes but he has to make some kind of changes and he's got a kid the right hand side defending side it's going to get that right because that pass and it's been happening so many times a pass for neither the center of the page or from the right hand side all the way over to the to the attacking mexico attacking left inside him behind kimmage it's been a guy mean an underdog also had a big chance out of that he should have scored they need to sort that out ok but

who are you supporting it's a cracking game to watch. and what we can look at some fans before they arrived at the stadium tell you they were in good spirits they clashed in a friendly way shall we say on the streets. the. globe. well our correspondent had actually our share of schemas outside the stadium today for us is that the green sea of mexican fans ready to. close. the atmosphere here is completely scintillating both sets of fans are in large numbers i would say

probably mexicans are dominating it's literally a sea of green as you can see many great shots some bread on the wrestling masks famous in mexico and well this year we expect those fans to be very loud as they have been in the streets of moscow over the last five days. and. one guy had german fans didn't want to take the easy option and simply bought a plane and fly to russia so he traveled two thousand kilometers all the way from stuttgart on the tracks and he spent a month on the road arriving in perfect time for this match accompanied by his dog . here's a look at his journey. i'm

seventy years old my tracks. used other transport would be too easy i'd like nothing cause the country car. but we saw all you need to be very intensive on the roof literally visit filming me taking this is such as. i. can imagine what it's like travel all the way from stuttgart in a track to two thousand kilometers i once watched germany play like that

disappointing isn't it well i hope the what you call the traffic warden around the streets of moscow coming to him tonight so that will be a double blow when weather should pocket apparently outside the state i have not saying good parking outside that stadium maybe make an exception when he's relaxed find yeah he's the person that's fine that will get to me like the soon i mean time in two hours' time the other great guy in three brazil take on switzerland that's happening down and brushed off on don. that's right well this is the tenth world cup for switched learned the first being back in nineteen thirty four the team is ranked sixth in the world after winning nine games in a row in qualifying so let's have a quick chat about this i mean on the surface i would say looking at briefly it's a brazilian. magic team always seem to win it will come up strong as i'm concerned against it so no problem. absolutely yes a problem in switzerland. it's a team. it's one of these to talk great teams you might want to call them you don't

really know how good they are i don't think they know how good they are. but it's a really well organized team it's a team that consists of a lot of immigrants so we're first second and third generation in the immigrants so the sort of company. i think and this is something i actually spoken to least i know the captain and it would be in peter schmeichel show later on in the world cup and it's very interesting and he calls it the strength of the switzerland but what we're going to see tonight is teaches brazilian bric brazil back to where they were in the seventy's they are innovators and football they are. changing the way that football should be played that combining different things from from modern day football into that style and bring the football and the expectations to this brazilian team not only from the brazilian population but for everyone who likes football enormous because it is

a completely different thing so four years again which last seven months germany we shouldn't forget and humiliated the nation and they lost three another in the next game so they conceded two goals in the last ten goals in the last two games in on home soil will be so tentative make a point tonight i think i'm sure. becoming an absolutely great game. frankenstein at first and rostov on don where he's preparing at watch that match and he took some time tell you to meet some of brazil's this is support. we're in rostov on don southern russia but i'll tell you one day this place feels more like the copacabana beach in rio perhaps. did it feel like rush hour more like brazil this is more like brazil right now you know but it's wonderful time wonderful people we love to be here soloed that's fun

does it feel like russia or brazil are here now still to live or is there here it goes. oh. my god no not years. our goal. not to look pretty box over the place and i'll tell you why i started feeling the bikes even when i was on my way to run down on the airplane. seat leaving. the. well finally i could see that the. slide to catch up was one of a lot of. the

louis was going to end and not going in a couple of hours time when the was the first guy named repayed that happened earlier and that's. one nil at cracking free kick that wasn't thanks a fantastic free kick from colorado this is he's actually been doing all year. and that was the only thing that separated the two teams that was a cracking game of football and precisely what we need in this world we might think . not the greatest game to watch but people who did much that they've missed out it was a fantastic game and in many ways a little bit unfair the cost of a good getting thing out of this game but it's a way football is and the service.
