Incidentally, the Eurosport tweaking is particularly useful for the CL and other international tournaments, since different countries can prioritise different matches.
She's ruined her possible legacy in her teams recent tournaments, but losing to that U.S. team, is a really poor indictment of German leadership on the women's side of the game. On the back of 3 consecutive U-20 finals, winning two, while the one which lost it's final probably been the best U-20 side we've ever seen; I find it ridiculous to see how Neid's been allowed to throw all that out of the window, with nobody asking serious questions about what's going on... So who's more retarded in this scenario..? The wnt which recognises it's own mediocrity, and reverts to it's same old strengths... or is it the rejuvenated wnt which throws away it's identity, trying to do things which have truly never worked for them previously..? It's now down to the DFB, to show how unacceptable much of this really is.
The problem I see is that I think Jones is more of a Völler than a Klinsmann solution at coach. If you know what I mean.....
But what about the coaches....? With her lack of anything in the world of coaching, I honestly see Jones as nothing more than a short term figure head, so wouldn't the other coaches have more of a say now...? If that's a possibility, we may finally see the senior side once again closer reflect the ideas of a DFB collective, rather than the individual persona like everybody's been witnessing under Neid.... My god.... Did it really need this to happen, before the truth would finally be said... Germany's senior team really need to use this tournament as a springboard towards it's post Neid future.
http://www.faz.net/aktuell/sport/fu...-beim-frauenfussball-wm-2015-13681261-p2.html Sounds like Wolfsburg coach Ralf Kellermann is interested in coaching " a " NT in the next years. Maybe 2019 or if Steffi Jones really messes it up, in 2017 Wenn eine WM so viel Spaß macht: Kann sich der Welttrainer denn mal vorstellen, bei einer WM zu arbeiten? Die WM hat wirklich viel Spaß gemacht. Und natürlich ist es so, dass ich im Vereinsfußball schon sehr viel erreicht habe. Und auch wenn es auf die nächsten Jahre hin noch Riesenspaß machen wird mit einer tollen Perspektive, so ist es auch normal, dass die Aufmerksamkeit bei den Nationalteams deutlich höher ist. Sicher bin ich nicht abgeneigt, irgendwann einmal bei einer guten Gelegenheit auch mal eine Nationalmannschaft zu betreuen. Das ist jetzt kein vorrangiges Ziel, weil wir in Wolfsburg hervorragende Bedingungen haben. Aber mittelfristig ist das was.
Kellermann actually said some more interesting things. But people like to focus on him criticizing tactics and taking over one day. He mentions that the missed pen and the refs mistakes were also responsible for Germanys loss, even though the US deserved to go to the final. Plus, he's talking about the influence of the turf. Players who like run with the ball at their feet (i.e. Goeßling) had problems controlling the ball. Which also might explain Marta's and Bachmann's less than stellar tournaments. He thinks Japan and France are the best teams right now tactically. I think it shows the disdain in Europe for Northamerican soccer, when the US, wo will probably win the WC, isn't even mentioned.
LOL, came to check in, and your right; is anybody really surprised with this bullsh*t..? Three games, same nonsense, no change... DFB need to take a serious look at what's going on here...
I wonder, doesnt matter how this ends, if they will say again after the game that they think they played a good game.
Cowards need to do something after this... Three horrible 0-0 performances in a row, where Neid hasn't done anything to show her worth as a tactician. Yeah, well done Germany, everything's fine with Neid running the show...
Popp comes on, Germany still play the same 4-4-2 formation, but now with Leupolz and Däbritz in CM.... Yeah.. OK, I'm done here. Neid's a joke!
Read that again, but slower, and leave a little time to have it sink in.... That's how bad this Germany team are right now....
