Imagine the Mannschaft on the Mariannenplatz for the WC celebration and the cup isn't there. It's still stuck at Tegel because some DFB dude forgot to submit the right form.

Maybe bringing Klose instead of Gomez would have won you guys a point there. Still laughing at the fact that Timo Werner was somehow an option for this team.

Kimmich wasn't really the problem, he did what he was supposed to do, help keep up the pressure. The problem was nobody backing him up on that side.

It was glorious to watch this game at a bar, that laughter when our northern neighbours conceded that goal lol.

I feel sorry for the 3 or 4 good players on the squad tough. Also no Switzerland - Germany now.

To be fair some of them had a good WC, it's just they got left alone by the rest. Any decent coach would have swaped Khedira out after like 10 minutes in the Mexico game. Hey Kimmich is out there in front of you, loving cover his side you dumb gently caress.
Kroos is stupidly overrated, so are Özil and Draxler. Some of those other average players who somehow managed to get a spot simply aren't good enough. Really not a fan of players like Brandt and Werner. Bringing Gomez was a lol too.

Maybe annex Austria, they'd have some good players you could use.

Kroos has been a nailed-on starter for Madrid in the last four seasons and won the CL three times in a row with them. Think he might be p good at football tbh.


Kroos gets carried at Madrid, hth.

Saying Kroos is good because he always plays is like saying Khedira was amazing because he started twice this WC. Some coaches just have their favorites and play them regardless of actual form.

Either there's a conspracy of Ancelotti, Benitez, Zidane and Löw to play Kroos even though he's a fraud or maybe there's a simple explanation like having a holding midfielder such as Casemiro or Schweinsteiger behind Kroos allows him to play really well as seen at Madrid or in 2014.

Him being reliant on a better player to back him up is why I call him overrated. He's really not that good.

What Germany did with Austria in 1982 was pathetic. And the same goes for 1939.

At least in 1982 they respected the border and didn't attack.
