Ecuador Coach Compares Germans with Big Tanks

Germany is a country famous for its automobiles, but it is the German tanks that have caught Ecuador coach Luis Fernando Suarez’s attention.

“The Germans play like big tanks, running over everything that gets in their way,” says Suarez, whose team faces Germany in the first round at the World Cup. “They play realistic and efficient. They are destroyers, like in a war.”

Interesting description from Suarez, but as someone who has seen quite a bit of German football lately I can honestly say that German coach Jürgen Klinsmann would be happier if his team played more like tanks and less like the matchbox cars they have been during the past year.
