Das Reboot and the Road to UEFA Nations League & EC2020

No one knows. He hasn’t coached since 2003.

 

Are you kidding me?! Tell me you made this quote up. Please

The coach is responsible for everything his team does or fails to do. Period full stop

Low raus!

 

So basically he's not going anywhere, draxler celebrating already

 

I recall Hummels saying that he was planning to retire from the NT after the WM but I really have a soft spot for the handsome devil and I wouldn't mind him sticking around until at least the EM!

 

Magath is available

 

Lol this dude sounding even funnier than our manager.
Shin Taeyong imitating Loew but now Loew is imitating Shin LOL.

 

So what you're saying is he's exactly what the dfb look for in a candidate?

And by the time the Klopp era is over the job will be so prestigious that Tuchel, Nagelsmann and whoever of their caliber comes next will all be fighting one another to replace him!

Ah daydreams, how I enjoy ye when reality offers me only the crotch-sniffing nosepicker

 

Supporting this team since 1990....was a 3rd grader then and now my son goes to 3rd grade....have seen the best and today saw the worst....I hope will see better days again...
FOREVER DEUTSCHLAND!!

 

So it seems that 2014 was the outlier carried by a generation of very talented players coupled with the right amount of leaders and team players on the field. By contrast, this team didn't feel right from the first game. Besides the importance of formations and putting players in a position to excel, there was also something about the player/team composition that didn't feel right.

I had no expectations going into the 2014 WC because for me, it was over before the first game by only taking old Klose (bless him) as a real striker. After the WC win, I thought Löw clearly must have done something right.
But I've joked about it before, Mustafi might have been the MVP by getting injured which almost forced the use of a more sensible formation. Among other things, using the perhaps best RB in the world where he belongs.

 

It just pisses me off that everyone’s happy with Germany being out and rubs it in knowing it’s ten times worse for Germany to go out because they are Germany

Sweden saying it’s «karma»... how the f*** is it karma against a whole nation because one German provoked Sweden after the SWEGER game??

At the end of the day Germany was poor, not awful
Nothing went their way if you leave out the kamikaze tactics by Löw

- at least not being able to draw against Mexico after those chances in the 2nd half
- Sweden beating Mexico, doing their best game — why the hell couldn’t Mexico just win??
- Yes Germany gave away some chances against South Korea but at the end of the day it’s pure luck that Korea got their first goal lol
- why the hell did Korea have to give away penalties to Sweden and Mexico...?

Yes I’m bitter and I’m pissed that nothing went Germany’s way this group stage, but at the end of the day Germany lost because they MESSED up (Löw)

 

Don’t worry about others being happy we are out it just comes with being the best.

Worry about it when failing to get out of group isn’t a topic of discussion!

 

Every tournament under Löw has been the same. Bad tactics, wrong decisions on team selection and lineups. Only this time he wasn’t saved by talent and luck.

 

Lucky for him he was right in the middle of a fantastic generation of german players, and our traditional rivals (france, italy, Netherlands, and Brazil) sucking.

 

List to do:

- build up the team Germany really is
- get rid of some players and integrate some new ones
- new coach or brainwash Löw to give some common sense
- get more clinical in front of goal

and no Hummels, Boateng, Rüdiger and Süle are not bad CB’s, they are some of the best in the world
every CB out there would’ve looked bad playing for a team with an almost non existent midfield in front of them

 

I’ve been saying this for years. Our CBs are the best in the world. Any cb is going to look poor and slow when they have to play 2v3 at the halfway line against quick attackers.

 

I don’t know how many of you have/are played/playing football but I have
not as a CB but I’m staying behind on corners as a FB
when someone counter you and you realize that you for some reasons haven’t been able to mark the players ready to counter against you, the only thing you can do is to run backwards and wait for support while focusing on the ball
THIS is incredible hard in football, because you can’t lunge into the defender without winning the ball then, if you do and don’t, there’s a 1v1 situation against the goalie (or your partner have to defend against multiple
people at the same time)
if you know how to defend, you’ll wait on the attacking player to do his move, then try to win the ball because it’s fairly predictable for the opposition to get past you if you try to win those balls first

So I think Hummels and co did not do a halfbad job
the only time they got countered and it resulted in a goal was against Mexico
