Pre-match: (EURO 2016 - Group Stage) Germany vs. Ukraine 06.12.2016 [R]

I can tell you that most Germans wouldnt know about this. They probably also couldnt tell the difference between Namibia and Sambia.

 

Yes, every German remembers with pride the first big genocide of the 20th century we commited there.

No Politics here ! Soccer Only!

 

was ein spacko

 

Sorry, but this was the sentence which started the politics, not mine.

That sentence is so stupid at so many levels that I can't leave it uncommented.

 

dude lol you're illiterate

 

And lets carry on...
SportBild had a few options for Sundays Defense

Kimmich - Howedes-Boa-Hector - most liked
or
Howedes - Mustfai -Boa - Hector - very Defensive
or
Howedes- BOA- Kimmich - ???
or
Kimmich - BOA - Hector - - Very attacking

 

Let's put this topic aside although you insultet me twice. Let's concentrate on the game mentioned in the topic

 

please just go away

 

Id like to see Kimmich though Id be suprised to see him actually starting. That would be uncommon for Löw

 

That's the one you will see or this:

Howedes - Kimmich - Boateng - Hector

 

Possibly or with Mustafi......
I think what I hear from Loew press conference.... he says he trusts both Howedes and Mustafi to replace Rudiger....so no Kimmich as CD!

So there are only two choices in my opinion.
Howedes - Mustafi - Boateng - Hector - the safer more defensive setup
or
Kimmich -Howedes - Boateng - Hector - a bit more attacking but riskier setup...Riskier in the sense of playing a youngster and being more open at the back.

I think Loew might want to really play it safe in defense for the first game, so not to concede at all, then he will play with Howedes and Mustafi..... Option 1.. He might bring on Kimmich at around 60 minutes depending on score and how the back-line has influenced the game. Meaning..... Haven't created enough scoring chances by not coming up the right wing ...or if Howedes or Mustafi really have crap game....

He could also obviously start with kimmich , take a riskier approach to play a more confident attacking game... Well i would start like that.. if after 45 minutes this has proven to be the a wrong choice he would obviously have to react at half time and bring on a Mustafi to stabilize the back-line!!!!

I recon the midfield and attack is pretty well set, with Draxler on the the left and Goetze upfront.
Gomez would be first option to be subbed in for either Draxler or Goezte , depending which one has the worse day.
And third sub I recon will depend on Khedira's performance ... if he has the same problems as against Hungary Loew should have the guts to bring on either CAN/Weigl.. or even Schweinie!

I guess we can talk about this over and over ... but I recon I am pretty close here in whats going to happen... lets see

I know I must stop Crying... and move on... But this would have looked really good.
------------------Gundogan----Kroos------------------
Muller-------------------Oezil------------------Reus
---------------------------Goetze

 

Injuries and our lack of fullbacks is really going to hurt this tournament

I'm on the plane to Berlin now!! Then a flight to Brussels to get to Lille let's ********jng get it

 

Über to Überlin

 

Despite the nominal independence Namibia is mostly a backwater of South Africa. German enclaves do exist in some coastal cities ( Swakopmund being the prime example ), but they are not representative of the country in general as it is today.

( For those not familiar, Swakopmund is certainly worth a visit. One of the most deadly deserts on earth literally next to the sea, I don't think something similar exists anywhere else in the world ).

 

Rooting for Ukraine in a way. A Slavic final would be revolutionary haha
