German football is turd

That Wirtz kid is a gem. I don't know which of him or Musiala is better. That's how kid he is. What a return to football after that serious injury of his. Damn.


Some people on this forum were big advocates of his. Kudos to them.
 
German football before Kane


Lucky for Kane that he arrived here long after Frosch played (actually he is already dead). After the first match against Frosch Kane would be swimming back home through the North Sea... provided he could still use all his limbs :lol: (Frosch was one of the toughest defenders in German football and legend has it that he is the reason why players get suspended after five yellow cards)

As much as I love Musiala, Wirtz is currently even better. He is more mature and consistent.

I feel like Wirtz plays the complete season between a 7/10 and 9/10 (with an occassional 10/10), whereas Musiala has maybe more 10/10s but also goes missing in some games.

But maybe this would look different if their coaches were switched.

But it doesnt matter which one is better because we have both for the german NT and hopefully for Bayern in 2025 :cool:
 
It's easier to be in good form in May when you can rest one full month around mid-season unlike other leagues.

English Premier League team didn't enjoy any winter break sadly and you could easily see that in the past few european weeks.. It's clear 18-team leagues as Bundesliga and Ligue 1 look better than any other right now while Premier Leauge teams simply are gassed.

Don't want to be the harbinger of bad news but England is NOT favourte at EURO 2024. Germany and France are.

Its maybe stupid because the last two friendlies were the only really good games by our national team in the last few years but im starting to get really optimistic for the EC.

I hope Nagelsmann decides to drop Gündogan and field this team:

Füllkrug/Havertz
Musiala-Wirtz-Sané
Andrich-Kroos
Mittelstädt-Tah-Rüdiger-Kimmich
Neuer

I mean that's a team consisting of CL and EL semi finalists (and Havertz and Mittelstädt).
On paper that team should be capable to play a great EC.

Actually they did. Two weeks off. They just broke down the games via weekends which might have made it seem like there wasn’t one but every PL club got the two weeks off. Last year 2/3 European trophies were won by PL clubs despite actually not having a winter break. This thing goes in cycles that’s all it is. Everyone gets carried away every season trying to explain things, whether it be proclaiming Pl clubs to be significantly inferior (which is nonsense) or when they don’t do well it’s something about too many games. But it’s literally just a cycle. And the PL isn’t vastly superior in quality to other leagues.

Would be a nightmare but thankfully, Hoeneß right now is doing his utmost to make Bayern as unattractive an option as possible ;)
 
There's no very strong team in CL this season so I think it Bayer Leverkusen were in it they would win it.
 
My desire for Reus to win a CL > My disdain for Sancho, so I hope Dortmund can go all the way
I won't mind seeing that happen if Bayern doesn't win
Thus Edin Terzic will become the GOAT manager who took an underdog to the CL title
 
Hamburger SV and FC St Pauli are playing tonight - local derby and St Pauli can win promotion. 30 players and coaches start fighting during the warm-up....now that is some serious rivalry. Move over Keane and Vieira :)
 
Which makes him the GOAT manager period

Wait... Would Terzic > Di Matteo in this case?
I think it would, considering that Terzic is in his first stint already won the cup and therefore has more succesful seasons than di Matteo.
 
Bayer Leverkusen best team in history confirmed
 
If Leverkusen had been in the CL they’d of won it this year.
 
What's going on with these losers managers linked to Bayern's job? And why is everything going on at Bayern lately in the media? Feels like a copy of Man United.

These things doesn't inspire much confidence to the players and fans at all. We definitely have a weak administration in charge. I finally noticed.

I’ve already turned the job down even though I did well in my championship manager 01/02 save.
 
Can’t wait for Bayern to reach the final and I will be happy for either. On one side Kane will win his maiden trophy and on the other side Sancho and Sabitzer will win a champions league title.

That will be so ironical and a perfect morbid ending to the worst season ever at Old Trafford under its worst manager ever in my lifetime of watching United for the past 30 years.

It's upto the PL and FA to fix this. I think the incentives are there given the 5th CL spot dynamics. Everyone thought England was a shoe-in. Models were predicting a 99% chance of an English club getting that spot until it didn't. It's a good wake up call and with people like Klopp speaking up I think they might do something about it finally.
 
Farming is good and the harvest is plentiful. PL supremacists on social media in shambles

Lame excuse. The missing winner break always comes up as an excuse, if English teams do badly in Europe.
In the years they do well, nobody brings this point up.
 
Shout out to the best league in the world.

How dare you call us a copy. We are the original "FC Hollywood"!

Reckon Gundogan/Kroos will be used the way Madrid often use Kroos and Modric. None of the 3 are young enough to be playing every minute of a Euros run, but alternating the two Germans and see them both play 90 minutes across two matches as 60/30 30/60 minute splits as starter or substitute would really give them a constant controlling Force in the middle. Despite Gundogan not being a like for like swap in the way Modric is.

Nagelsmann doesn't seem to view Gündogan as an option for the DM position but seems to intend to play with a "triple 10", with Gündogan, Wirtz, Musiala and Sane the probably choices for that. Kroos backup probably will be Pascal Groß or even Pavlovic if I look at what Nagelsmann said and how he fielded the team in those matches.
