German students analysed videos, according to the Telegraph.
England's weaknesses were obvious, says Oliver Bierhoff
Germany defeated England with the help of two students in Cologne, who spent months analysing television footage of Fabio Capello's team and also Steven Gerrard, Gareth Barry and John Terry in action for their clubs.
The students emailed their findings to the German camp before last weekend's knockout game in Bloemfontein won 4-1 by Joachim Löw's well-briefed side. Germany's sweet smell of success comes from Cologne.
From the data provided by the students, the Deutsche Fussball-Bund's head of scouting, Urs Siegenthaler, produced a 15-minute video, highlighting that Terry could be pulled out of position and Gerrard and Barry would not keep their midfield positions, so were vulnerable to the counter-attack.

Not a major problem if one centre back is pulled out of position,because the other centre back should be covering.I am not a great fan of Rio,but the partnership between him and Terry worked,they covered each other.That covering was non existant between Upson and Terry,stinks of bad management as well as bad on the field.

Interesting too that the Germans thought Gerrard's freedom to roam was a weakness not a strength.

Gerrard = hugely over rated
Look at Dirk Kuyt today, did not look out of place at all in that Dutch team, belying his rep as a work horse Benayoun, constantly played out of position at Liv to make way for the captain has now landed on his feet at chelsea Anyway I'm sure Jorgi Low had the measure of dear old ingerlund with or without the help of some spotty students |
