With 98 days to go for the world cup 2010 I thought its time to get warmed up and start discussing the groups, provisional squad announcements and important friendlies before the big event.

* GOALKEEPER: Our #1 goalie Rene Adler sucks donkey balls atm, and Löw does not trust Neuer or Wiese
* CENTER DEFENSE: Boateng and Mertesacker have been stinking it up lately, and Westermann has not played in the center for AGES
* WING DEFENSE: Lahm is the only guy playing well. Jansen is badly injured, and all the others have fallen off drastically.
* CENTER MIDFIELD: Ballack has been on and off for Chelsea, Schweinsteiger is ok, but then? Frings is blackballed, Rolfes is injured, and Khedira is only so so.
* WING MIDFIELD: Özil has dropped off like a rock, and Marin is strong at Werder but inconsistent in the national team. Neither Kroos nor Müller seem adequate replacements yet.
* ATTACK: Klose and Podolski have been HORRIBLE in their clubs, but play well in the national team. Gomez and Kiessling are injured, Cacau is inconsistent and the by far best striker atm (Kuranyi) is blackballed.
Nothing is going right atm. Guess that is great news? *Knock on wood again*
