Not only because of the fact that Germany was the better team, especially in the second half. Sweden and its destructive time-wasting behaviour simply did not deserve any better.This time-wasting is something that can be seen at this WC all the time, it's ridiculous and I cant remember any other WC before where it was nearly as bad as this time. Substitutions take almost 3-5 minutes, thats also bad sportsmanship. This WC also lacks of quality and increasing the number of teams to 48 (!) in 2026 wont make it better.Regarding the penalty - you can call this and we couldnt complain if the ref had made the call but I have my doubts that the outcome of the game had been different. Sweden had started their time-wasting manner of playing football just 15 minutes earlier.However, I must say that the German team is not good enough to win the WC again. You cant win another title with overrated players like Ozil (since years) and players like Hummels, Boateng, Muller and Khedira that seem to have nothing left in the tank. Especially Muller is a mystery to me, dont know what happened with him. Regarding Boateng there must be a reason why Bayern is willing to let him go if there is an offer.Very impressed by Belgium so far, they could be one of the biggest surprises but lets see how they do when they play one of the better teams.</blockquote>
