Review: German National Team News & Discussion Thread - Euro 2016 & Beyond

I'm not pretending to be stupid, think whatever you like I don't care. You think it means nothing and is pointless game good for you that's your prerogative.

LOL you make it seem like I was like "Gnabry is the best player in the world that he's the next Klose,etc." LOL all of this started just because I said Gnabry scored a hat trick, while commenting on the game and I thought it was a good start from him. And then you came make a huge fuss just because of a comment. As for the record of 40 years those aren't even from me they are from the official DFB site and twitter, a record is a record regardless of who the opponent is. We also haven't played San Marino in 9 years so it ain't every time we play them, also Asia, Europe,and Concacaf are filled with minnows aka weak team, you still have to play them. I don't get the point of this back and forth, so I'm done with it as it's pointless.

so Germany and England are the only countries that have yet to concede any goals in WC 18 qualifying after 4 games.

Germany, Swiss and the Belges are the only ones to win all 4 games.

 

info from Low
-Benedikt Höwedes and Bernd Leno will definitely play. In addition it is pretty likely that Yannick Gerhardt will start in place of Jonas Hector. If Sebastian Rudy is to play, I plan for him to play in midfield rather than in defence.

also based on his praise of Gomez, I suspect he'll also play.

 

Unlikely to happen

 

from Low it seems like the lineup is

---------------Gomez
Gnabry? -------Gotze?------------Muller?
------Gundogan Goretzka
Gerhardt Hummels Howedes Henrichs
------------------------Leno

maybe Meyer instead of Gotze?
we know that Khedira is not playing tomorrow.

 

Gnabry's got this

 

you mean
"My condolences Your Holiness for Argentina losing the WC final to us."

 

LOL, I recall during the WC final, tons of jokes about
Pope Francis vs Pope Benedict, who will God side with.

 

Did Weigl came back from NT? If not then I will be very surprised if he doesn't partner his previous teammate Gundogan at the center of the park
Also I am pretty confident that Hector will start as LB and Gerhardt may get few minutes at the end

 

did you not see my previous post, this is what Low said
"The line-up against Italy: Every player is fit. Benedikt Höwedes and Bernd Leno will definitely play. In addition it is pretty likely that Yannick Gerhardt will start in place of Jonas Hector. If Sebastian Rudy is to play, I plan for him to play in midfield rather than in defence."

he also mentions Henrichs, Gomez, and Goretzka each having a paragraph about them, which makes me think all 3 will start,

 

I like this team...but Goretzka Weigl might get steamrolled against physical Italians...Gundogan must play to control the midfield..we should field a balanced squad...the goal is to give opportunities to new players but also win

 

Leno - Mustafi, Höwedes, Hummels, Gerhardt, Goretzka, Müller ©, Rudy, Weigl, Kimmich, Gündogan

weird lineup, as Muller is the only regular attacker from the 11 for the NT.

 

Team full of defenders and midfielders...I assume Rudy and Gerhardt will play in the wings but they are not really natural wingbacks/wingers having lot of pace...

Don't know how Kimmich, Weigl, Gortezka, Gundogan all plays together

 

doesn't Low know that Germany's secret weapon against Italy has been Hector.
when we beat them 4-1, which was our first win in like 20 years, Hector had 1 goal and 1 assist. Than at the Euros, Hector assisted Ozil's goal as well as scoring the winning penalty kick.

 

soccerway has it

-----------------Leno----------------
Howedes--Mustafi--Hummels
Kimmich-Rudy-Weigl-Gerhardt
Gundogan----Goretzka
-------------Muller------------

 

"This is Kirsten, my previous account can't receive email anymore so I can't leave comment anymore"


No it's a 3-5-2, Loew prefers playing 3 CBs against teams with 2 CFs

--------------------Leno
-------howedes--Mustafi--Hummels
--Kimmich----------------------Gerhardt
-----------------Rudy----Weigl
---------------------Gundogan
-------------------Mueller--Goretzka
