The fact that he is going to be writing a diary suggests he doesn't expect to see the field. A serious player expecting to play would never tell everyone that he intends to write a diary, as it would raise suspicions that he wasn't entirely focused 100% on the games. It's almost like those war reporters. They don't actually engage in battle, they just document it. Disappointing. We'll have to suffer the mediocrity of Zusi, Bedoya and Davis on the wing. I think you'll excuse me if I say that I don't exactly have confidence in these career MLS'ers and an average Ligue 1 player to do much in Brazil. The prospect of seeing Green play was exciting. Now, with all signs pointing to a bench warmer situation, the whole world cup just got more dull. I enjoy watching skillful players, and we have a midfield without much of that. Should have brought Shea, at least he would run at someone.
I'll ignore your insolence because I'm a nice guy. Anyway, since I have found out that the YA forum is nothing to do with National Team discussions, I will not further reply on this topic for now. Good day.
Altidore wrote a diary for ESPN ahead of the 2010 WC http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...+jozy+altidore+diary&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
yes I'm sure the players have zero downtime the entirety of the tournament. I don't know why posters on here seem to think that the only thing a player can/should do 24/7 is train, eat, or sleep. How long do you think it's going to take him to write each entry? It's not like he's going to be holed up in the hotel with a quill and inkpot slaving over the perfect wording for his entry.
There are two new installments of the diary online. http://www.bild.de/themen/ereigniss...hrichten-news-fotos-videos-36328980.bild.html The caption says: US-Boy Green writes for Bild: "This is how my World Cup with Klinsi is going"
Honestly I would have brought Joe Gyau. He at least has bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga games and he is on the rise.
Hai2u dudes and dudettes. Julian's still posting from the WC. I think this is his latest entry: http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/julian-green/so-lief-unser-sieg-gegen-ghana-36421158.bild.html "This is How Our Victory Against Ghana Went Hello Germany, What a great start! The past two World Cups have seen an end result of 2:1 for Ghana. This time we fought with heart and got the three points. The first goal from Clint Dempsey was naturally outstanding. It was a signal from our Captain - 'Boys, this is the way we want to play!' Jozy's injury was a shock for the entire team, and the equalizer from Ghana made us hold our breaths, but I had a feeling that there was more yet to come. The second goal from John was definitely special to me! He and I watched the Germany match together and after Mats Hummels scored his goal, we decided John had to do the exact same thing. Before the decisive corner, De'Andre Yedlin mentioned that this was the big chance. With the corner, John of course scored his goal - just like he said he would. We were united in the belief that this would happen. I can't describe how I felt when the ball landed in the back of the net! Of course I wanted to be the one to congratulate him after the final whistle blew! Now we're flying directly back to Sao Paulo and enjoy our position in the group table. Your Julian" Ya'll just tag me if you need something translated. I don't lurk as much as I used to do.
New post from Julian after the Belgium game translated by google.... Our World Cup dream is over unfortunately Hello Germany, in the last few days was all my concentration to the forthcoming round against Belgium, so here you have also heard nothing from me. Now I'll get back to me and sorry to report that the World Cup for my team and me is over. We have in the extension in the first knockout round against Belgium lost 1-2. Anyone who has seen the game from you, knows how the game was enthralling. The longer the game lasted, the more dramatic it was. Especially in the extension we have thanks to our fighting spirit and the sensational saves from goalie Tim our reach in the first place. In the extension then I was able to celebrate my World Cup debut. Of course I was a little nervous, but that was more of a positive tension, because I've been looking forward incredible that I have come to use. The coach said before Substitutes even to me that I should make my game and looking 1on1 situation. What happened next was unbelievable, like with my first touch succeed the first goal. But to a large cheer was no time at all. I've caught the ball and wanted the game continues the same, so we create the equalizer. Unfortunately, we no longer have succeeded. Congratulations to Belgium for the quarter-finals. The disappointment with us then in the cabin was large and everything was very quiet. The coach has made a speech and us to the game and the World Cup congratulates and meant that we can be proud of our performance. We then flew back to Sao Paolo and ate together at the hotel. After that we sat together and have been drinking since we could not sleep anyway.Our dream was over. But I think we played a great World Cup, we have passionately played soccer, performed well and presents our country excellently world. Our local fans in Brazil were great. Every game was like a home game for us. And the enthusiasm in the States and around the world we have noticed. This momentum, we naturally want to take as example the German team after the 2006 World Cup. I am looking forward to returning to Germany and my vacation so that I can start recovering well in the new season. Your Julian
http://www.tz.de/sport/fc-bayern/fc...tzt-unter-guardiola-durchstarten-3671184.html Google translate isn't perfect. It talks about how in the past Bayern has always sent there prospects on loan but that Pep seems to not to like loaning out prospects and he could be Riberys backup this year. They seem sure he will not be with the reserves.
This looks like a good article, wish I spoke more German Sciaretta also linked it Brian Sciaretta @BrianSciaretta · 19m Green update RT @FCBayernUpdate: Julian Green will not go on a loan. Guardiola plans for next season include him http://www.tz.de/sport/fc-bayern/fc-bayern-2-green-will-jetzt-unter-guardiola-durchstarten-3671184.html…
The kid is sick. Him, Yedlin, and Brooks have great quality. It will take the right chances for them to be world class but it's possible with these three more than most I've seen on the Nats.
