Die Deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft News & Discussion Thread - Road to Russia 2018 Thread (R)

I actually don't think he will bring in a 5th CB , even he might play 3 CB sometimes. If one got injured we can play 4-2-3-1 again, or keeper the back 3 but use Kimmich as RCB n Rudy at RWB. Both are options

3 keepers

3 fullbacks
4 CBs

5 CMs (Kroos, Khedira, Rudy, Goretzka, Gundogan)

4 wingers ( Draxler, Sane, Muller, Reus)
2 AM ( Oezil, Stindl/Goetze)

2 CFs (Werner, Gomez)

Should make the 23-men squad if they are all fit to go

 

Höwedes as well if he's fit of course, he's solid then.

 

If u have read Boateng'a interview on sportbild... he kinda hinted Mustafi n Howedes don't have any chance

 

New DFB academy

 

Think that Kimmich could make up the 5th CB if needed, so I don't think he will take another CB apart from the 4 .

Is Goretzka a CM or an AM?
Thought he was more of an AM
But yes the above is more or less correct... with two guys as big ??? CAN and Gintner

 

is Wagner going to Bayern? no no
as a bayern fan i wouldn't be too pleased about that

 

can I just say how bitter it is to watch this again
what's even worse is that they didn't even beat Portugal in the final
must avoid this again though next world cup - must be more clinical and avoid stupid mistakes in defense like making stupid penalties (boateng and schweini)

 

I see Kimmich really came close a few time too scoring....and Scheiwnie hand ball did not look like a handball.

Anyway Kimmich will be hungry next time we play them.

 

He would be a good back-up for Lewandowski, but it's not a good decision for him career wise. He will not see many starts. Maybe he hopes to get some CL matches so Loew will consider him for the WC.

 

Lewandowski did ask for help ..... I guess he could come in off the bench which would suit his role perfectly at the WC - Just like Schurrle was at Chelsea and at the NT

 

Good deal for Bayern, Bad for Wagner unless Lewy is out for an extended period

 

Exactly. Hopefully Heynckes gives him 10-15 minutes in most matches and a few starts in the BL.

Some really nasty group of death possibilities.
The teams to avoid in pot 2: Spain and England. Whoever lands one of them is looking at a possible group of death.

 

Yes worst group we can get is :
Spain, Costa Rica and Australia or Japan maybe

 

Best draw for us would look something like Peru , Denmark and panama

 

Is there a rule about the number of nations from the same continent in one group? Aka is it possible for 4 European countries to be drawn into the same group?

 

Yes there is .. max two Europeans in one group , and for all the other federations only one per group e.g only 1 African per group etc

 

Also interesting match ups that could be possible.

• Argentina and England in a group
• Brasil and Spain in a group

 

A Sunday in July

 

lol, wtf does that even mean.

Of course the answer is unlikely and even he thinks it won't happen, Pascal Gross.

that's my thought too, just sounds salty that Germany eliminated Argentina in the last 3 consecutive WCs lol.
