Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer claims his side did not show enough attacking intent in their 1-0 World Cup semi-final defeat to Spain on Wednesday.
Although it took Carles Puyol's late header to set up a final meeting with Netherlands at Soccer City on Sunday, in truth, Germany were outplayed.
It was a sad way for Joachim Low's young team to exit the tournament given the positive impression they had made by knocking four goals past Australia, England and Argentina. But Neuer is confident the defeat will eventually prove to be a valuable lesson for his side.
Substitute Marcell Jansen concurred with Neuer's assessment, but while he recognised that more risks could have been taken, he also admitted that Spain just possessed more quality.
