German National Football Team Thread (Nationalmannschaft)

Either way, I'm done with the NT until Löw finally retires.
This team does not stand a chance to win a WC with Löw coaching. You just know he is going to f*ck up at some point by playing Kroos as a DM, Özil as a winger or asking Jansen to stop a WC winger or something.

I think at least Löw won't come up with the stupid idea Pep Guardiola just had of wanting to play a knockout game against RMs counter attacking machine with only one DM. But you never know with Löw, he might do so as well.

Meh, as long as you expect the team to Jogi it up at some point it's still very entertaining following the team, you just gotta sorta take everything with the right mindset of hoping that Jogi walks ass backwards into the right things and the players are experienced enough to overcome his poor instruction. If tomorrow jogi threw together a Reus-Ozil-Mueller front three infront of Schweini, Kroos and Khedira/Lahm with the Boa-Mats pairing at CB and any two of Lars, Grosskreutz, Durm or Jantschke (who he should've called up and technically can still swap in before monday) at the FBs and just had them playing together from now until we get eliminated, they could actually win. But we can't expect such competence from jogi, so that if it happens it is sure to be a welcome surprise.

Look at the German starting 11 against Poland tonight:

Zieler - Rüdiger, Mustafi, Ginter, Sorg - Rudy, Kramer, Goretzka, Meyer, Draxler(C) - Volland

What a young team :lol:

AlexDelta · Post #44 » by **AlexDelta** » Tue May 13, 2014 6:38 pm

The youngest team since 1908. :lol:

Wow, that stadium looks half empty.

Draxler is captain :lol:

Well look at the squad. Not surprising. It's not even a C-Team. It's basically an olympics U23 team. And they still want 80 Euros or something.

Which begs the question - What's the **** point?

I think it's supposed to be for charity. If Bayern, Dortmund or Arsenal wouldn't have made the cup finals they would have at least a couple of big names.

Still the best game people in Hamburg got to see this year :lol:

I'm a fan of Sorg. Any chance he makes the final roster considering we don't have the best players at his position?

Edit: He is already out. My bad :lol:

It is a nice game to test some of our talents and to give them some international experience.

Andi Obst · Post #52 » by **Andi Obst** » Tue May 13, 2014 8:37 pm

What a boring game. 90 minutes wasted.

AlexDelta · Post #53 » by **AlexDelta** » Tue May 13, 2014 8:38 pm

Not the worst game of all time, especially when you consider that they have never played with each other before.
The DFB home fans have proven that they are the worst of all time. Booing this team? But what was I expecting? They booed the team after they beat Azerbaijan and didn't score 90 goals.

Really cool to see Kramer get some play. As for sorg, we've just got better young FBs. No way I'd take him to any tourney over Jantschke, Jung or Durm.

Glad I had to work and caught only the last 10 minutes of this crappy game. :crazy:

Should have named it the Anti-Massimo thread.

It wasn't that bad. Zieler, Ginter, Höwedes, Mustafi, Lars Bender, Draxler, Goretzka, Meyer, Hahn and Volland are on the list. 12 players made their Germany debut today.
The previous record was 11 in Germany's first ever match. :lol:

Good player though. I want either Jung or Sorg this summer.

Ilkay wasn't selected by Low.

Good for him.
