San Marino isn't a strong opponent, as we can see in the first half. But still watching Gundogan dictating the tempo is a pure enjoyment, his awareness in moving into space to receive and pass the ball and his understanding and reading of the game and controlling the pace of the game... Wow...what an incredible midfielder
it does mean something all the established attacking players failed to score while he did. It also improves his chances to be called again.
Gomez's goal was wrongly called offside and Götze had several assists. It's nice that Gnabry scored but the stress on the term hat trick is misleading because of the opponent.
LOL, how is this any different than scoring hat tricks in the German cup against 3 or 4th divisions or lower divisions? a hat trick is a hat trick doesn't matter who the opponent is. Also a hat trick means 3, he scored 3 so it isn't misleading. Klose scored 2 goals of his 71 vs San Marino, if he didn't score those goals he would have ended up with 69 goals, only 1 instead of 3 more than Gerd Muller. But nobody cares, he scored a brace against them and that's what counts.
so now we have 4 clean sheets in a row in the WC 18 qualifiers and our 5th clean sheet in a row adding the Finland friendly!!!!
Germany @DFB_Team_EN 1h1 hour ago .@SergeGnabry is the first Germany debutant to score a hat-trick since Dieter Müller in 1976! wow, 1st person 40 years!!!
he's not useless he had 2 assists, Muller is more than just scoring. His movements, assists are also a huge part of his game.
Don't pretend stupid. Yes he scored three goals but it doesn't mean much against this opposition, who is not even comparable with a 4th league opponent. It's nice that he had a lot of the ball and ran a lot but to compare this as a record in 40 years just because of the goal tally is nonsense. Guess how long this record would stay if Germany plays San Marino once a year? Right, it would happen almost every time and that's it - a nice achievement especially for his debut but nothing special and for sure nothing to start fap fest about. One of his goals were offside anyway, so what means that for you? Headline from Spon.de from the game was: only 6 nights until Bundesliga again. I agree it was a pointless match. Just my 2 cents
