what a goal by Can in his Dortmund 1BL debut. "Bend it like Can!" https://streamja.com/ppb9 nothing but Germans scoring in that Dortmund vs Bayer game. Volland X2 (jumps to 9 in 1BL), Hummels and Can.
It completely went lost in common memory but we actually had France nailed down in their own box in the first half. Imagine that, it's your own euro and you're completely outplayed. Payet had to play left wing back. France basically had two chances in the first half and one of them was a penalty.
yeah we should have beaten France in SF. Gomez injury vs Italy also hit us hard. And the dumbass handballs which gave France and Italy free goals vs Germany. I'm glad Portugal won the Euros and not convinced that France deserved to win the WC. Felt like one of the worst winning WC teams in recent times. ugh, we have both teams in our group.
yup we need the world class Draxler. Joachim Löw says Müller's chance of a call up at the Euros is "relatively small if the younger players are fit. These players now deserve their chance. I want to continue on the path with young players" [Sky] pic.twitter.com/HhbwrV4Pcz— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) February 9, 2020 my issue with axing Muller/Hummels was that Low doesn't even want them in the squad. I mean if you don't want to start them that's fine but not even in the squad.....dumb. He doesn't care about anything they do only that he wants to move on from them.
Completely agree, his man managment skills are pathetic, at least have them both in the squad, how bad would it look if mustafi and draxler are ahead of Muller and hummels in the squad
I think France are not as strong as world cup and this time germany can definitely beat em as long as we take care of our bogey man greizman
Low can keep playing that younger player bullshit but he won't fool nobody. Reus if few months older than Muller, yet he will keep being called up despite pathetic performance at Dortmund so far this season.
The purging of Mueller / Hummels had much more to do with dressing room politics. It creates space for other voices to be dominant, and also reasserts Loew's power.
I recon these guys challenged his authority and his intelligence , and then he just dropped them as he can’t handle it
Serious question, I know that Hummels can come across as prick, but Muller looks like a very nice guy. Even at Bayern. I really wonder what Muller did that piss off Loew.
Sometimes being a prick is necessary. Some things have to be said. Low made the mistake of picking his old favourites ignoring form, his reaction to that has been to black list them and once again not pick players based on form. It's the same mistake, done slightly differently. The best/most in form players should be selected, irregardless of age. Low allows too many personal grudges to affect his selection imo.
Maybe nothing - sometimes the coach does a bitch move to demonstrate his authority I think that was probably the play here - sweep out the last of the 2014 crew leaving Neuer & Kroos as the authorities and giving room for the likes of Kimmich to become the key voices
any predictions on how far you think we will go in this year's euro? trying to figure out what the best path for us is (which i normally do for each tournament) Also - i just got tickets in section 106 to see bayern munich when I am in Germany next month - is that a good area ( if anyone has been to Allianz Arena)
There arent any good or bad areas. But those seats were damn sure expensive cause it's in the lower tier and next to the bench. Dont forget to take pictures outside when they turn the stadium white or black&red&gold
They were pretty expensive on stubhub, but I'm traveling from USA around Europe (also seeing German national team play Spain in Madrid on the 26th) i'm not sure on the exact row, they won't tell me until I print my tickets.
If Loew brings in Hector, Draxler, Tah , Kehrer and Nico Schulz .... I doubt we will go very far we need some better players/talents such as Gosens, Mittelstadt, Hummels, Volland, Demme... some players are can make some differences to the team Loew tends to select players who fit in his system. Yes, it’s partly right... but when his plan A went wrong, are there enough players who can provide a plan B? Players like Niederlechner , Gosens/Max, Demme aren’t fancy players but they can bring some Other attributes to the squad. That’s useful
