Yes. he was the one who helped Ozil do all those playmaker stuff (the goal Ozil scored was because Muller spotted him). He scored 5 goals, but 3 other important assists which he could have scored himself. Even the third goal he scored against England (for which Schweini got an assist was an assist from Muller himself to Schweini). I thought he was a lot creative than Ozil. Ozil kind of slipped away in some matches. Muller was always troubling each and every opponent.

Perhaps you go and review the folloing goals: Germany - Argentina 2-0 Germany - Argentina 3-0 Germany - Argentina 4-0 Germany - England 2-0 Germany - England 3-1 Germany - England 4-1 Germany - Ghana 1-0 Germany - Australia 1-0 Germany - Australia 3-0 Germany - Australia 4-0 Furthermore you should check some great scenes like the Muller chance at Min. 53 against Australia and some other great stuff including fast doublepasses that didn't result in a goal.

I forgot Peter Schmeichel of Denmark. May consider him an all time great goalkeeper worthy of being in the list with Maradona, Pele, Beckenbauer etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Schmeichel Today, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of football. The IFFHS ranked Schmeichel among the top ten keepers of the 20th century in 2000,[2] and in 2001, Schmeichel won a public poll held by Reuters, when the majority of the 200,000 participants voted him as the best goalkeeper ever, ahead of Lev Yashin and Gordon Banks.[3] In 2003, Schmeichel was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in recognition of his impact on the English game. In March 2004, he was named as one of the "125 greatest living footballers", at the FIFA 100 celebrations. |
