I don't often watch the U17s and didn't know much about this group before the final qualifier, but have caught all of the matches so far and...
After the group stages, I've been really impressed by: Brunner - star of the show, Brunner has strong physical tools & technical skills....
A lot of rotation today against scottland. Brunner, Harchaoui, Jeltsch and Schmitt are the only returning starters. - Henning looks skilled at...
FWIW Flick did play Kai as a false-9 against Romania and Tuchel has talked to him about playing Kai there.
I would be interested to see how he fit in. Klostermann is further ahead so I think he's more of a candidate for this WM, but Nico has the...
Love Rani, but he's not a NTer. Kruse & Friedrich are our only players with the quality to play for the NT. Geiger could be interesting again if...
Justice :cool:
I'm not sure that he is (though I do think they are similar talents), but he's too old for the U21s. So I think it makes sense for Flick to...
I think I'd most like to see something like: Havertz Musiala - Wirtz - Adeyemi Neuhaus* - Gundogan* Kehrer - Süle - Klostermann - Baku ter Stegen...
Even without Timo there would still be Kai, Adeyemi, & Nmecha for Flick to integrate into the senior team and who can't (or shouldn't) be sent to...
I don't mind Burkardt staying with the U21s through the next tourney. He didn't start for them last year...so it's not like playing for them...
It doesn't mean someone is completely clear because they can already be infected without yet having built up enough of the virus for any symptoms...
He's playing the best football of his career right now. Probably our best player so far this season.
Spain 08 was more fun & exciting, but also more beatable than Spain 2010 IMO. That team was just a 1-0 machine once they got going.
I meant that UEFA was probably happy to see its nations publically opposing the biennial WM, not UEFA being for a WM every two years. ...thus my...
I assume UEFA will be all for this. Can't imagine how FIFA keeps UEFA & CONMEBOL from withholding their players from WMs that would clash with...
No doubt Netz would've gotten some cameos sooner or later, but he would be very unlikely to be starting regularly this fast had Bensebaini not...
The defensive side will come with time, he has the ability & the instincts, he just needs more experience. For now, BMG is playing him as a...
His crossing certainly isn't elite at this point...though it may well reach that level with time, he gets involved in the box a lot more than...
On top of his youth, he just has them playing excellent football...whether against the smaller teams that they run over in the league, or against...
Yeah, of the two RB coaches in the CL, Salzburg has the much more interesting one.
I slept in and missed the earlier games, but caught BMG's. Netz almost got into a goal-scoring position a couple of times. If the ball had...
Yeah, and it's hard to argue against him. You can make cases for many of the others being as purely gifted as Pedri...like I joked with Florian;...
Isn't he primarily a backup for them? I went with Saka instead since he's done more for the NT & plays a bigger role for Arsenal, but...
Spanish-Wirtz (Pedri) should probably win given how much he has already shown for both club & country...he & spanish-Rhein (Gavi) are extremely...
