Germany's Quest to Not Embarrass Itself, the WC26+NL24-25 Thread

so Draxler admits that he went to Qatar for the $$$, LOL. This is perfect example of garbage mentality of most 90s born. This was supposed to be a so called "top talent" (although I was never high on him from day 1, LOL) and HILARIOUS that DFB propped him up as next big thing, LOL.

his career in nutshell
-Wolfsburg=went there because its close to the city of Berlin
-PSG=went there for $$$ and to live in Paris
-Qatar=went there for $$$, no competition for XI spots and luxury lifestyle

is this a serious footy player???
His entire career is a parody and all about luxury and more about where he lives rather than with who, LOL.

 

LOL, so he could only play to his best with a drill sargent type coach......no wonder he was shit with DFB, LOL.

Low always acted like Draxler was his godson, the bias, the favoritism, etc. Never made any effort to push him furthest possible.

honestly shouldn't even have made the WC, LOL.

before the WC14 aka the last friendly that isn't pre-tourney friendlies we had a friendly vs Poland where Low was testing who shall go to the WC, basically a tryout for side players and young players.

had players like Draxler, Goretzka, Meyer, Mustafi, Rudiger etc.

I remember I wanted Goretzka to make the WC but he got injured in that same game and didn't make the final squad which then gave Draxler a free ticket.

Goretzka would have been a more worthy WC winner. At least he had a worthwhile career and adding WC would have been even better.

 

that was then this is now.
plans change with new variables at play.

some think that Musiala plays better at LW than AM. Others think Karl's future is AM where he has free roaming role is where you'll get the best out of him and closest to box he is the more dangerous he actually is.

its up to Kompany to try to make the duo work in XI.

you have to realize, any English or Spanish speaking media will NEVER EVER rate Germany to win anything, LOL. They legit dislike Germany and will always prop up anyone but us. Rarely they aren't negative.

what does the no talent even mean? Those same guys likely HATE 1BL anyways, LOL, most non-German media shit on 1BL at every chance, farmer's league etc. Anyone who isn't in EPL-La Liga=doesn't exist. Its like a worse version of DFB.

DFB acts like anyone who isn't in 1BL=doesn't exist and foreign media act like anyone who isn't in EPL-La Liga=doesn't exist, LOL.

 

heck even during peak Germany times, the non-German media was rooting against us at every chance and were always happy when we got eliminated, LOL.

jealousy, fear, strong hatred are basically reason why they hate Germany.
I've lost count to amount of times I recall seeing how triggered they got during 2002-2017 era, LULZ. And they are 100% SUPER HAPPY about 2018-2022 era of pathetic, LOL.

as for 1BL, yeah HUGE hatred for that league from others. And Serie A seems unlikely to return to its former glory tbh. Its funny that Serie A gets more pass even though its a worst league than 1BL. Serie A lost all relevance post like 2010, basically their relevance was 90s-00s era.

I also think the hatred also comes from whole, EPL clubs buy 1BL players who then flop in EPL. LMAO, how many EPL clubs got scammed anyways??? HUGE CHUNK of players get oversold by $$$ if they were sold at more reasonable price would be one thing.

I think main issue is more to do that majority of 1BL players aren't suited for EPL but due to whole "EPL is best league in world" (Cough plastic league cough) propaganda everyone wants to play there even if they aren't suitable. They also seem to join any club at that league even if their style of play isn't suitable for them. Am I only one who feels like almost every 1BL club just sells player to highest bidder+willy nilly. Rarely do I see any 1BL to EPL transfers that aren't forced/rushed.

another MAJOR issue is that players used to leave 1BL a LOT older, more mature and more experienced players. Now players play 1-3 years in 1BL and already gone. Gone are the days that players transfer when they are 100% ready in all aspects. Like every player who breakthrough 1BL is linked with bailing in same season they brakethrough, LOL, like WTF. And some positions like fullbacks, CFs etc are positions where there is a full on rushing allround for players. Everyone wants the next hot shot CF so they all pounce early when price is cheaper but those players aren't ready for that......

what I funny is hypocrisy anyways.
EPL clubs, La Liga clubs like Barca+Real these are clubs who spent ridiculous amounts. If they had budgets like 1BL clubs they would do no different than 1BL clubs do in CL. They buy their way into winning. Never forget that Pep has spent billions at City just to win 1 CL, LMAO and he admitted he's NOTHING without transfers, Bald fraud indeed.

I do miss the era of LESS Globolization of the sport, where domestic players played at home and very few left and ones who left there was 0 rushing and transfer destination made better sense than these days.

 

LOL, the BBC guys from WC10-WC14 is comedy GOLD.

every single German goal=terrible defending and 0 German worthy goals scored too.

the Scott Alan Hansen is the one who HATED Germany the most from the lot. Linekar always came off as just plain old irritated jealousy, that he wished Pengland were as consistent and would win something.

honestly its the Penglish Media that propagated the whole myth that
"Germany has 0 world class or Elite talents. They are just a well oiled machine, everyone is part of cog."

I've lost count to amount of times I've either read or heard people say this too, LOL. If we do have world class-Elite players its like 1-2 TOPS and mostly if a player played outside 1BL.

 

Karl scores vs bus parking Mainz 1-0!!!

 

LOL
"Bayern mixing Muller’s space finding, Messi’s flair and dribbling and Robben’s shooting to make Lennart Karl."

Karl wasn't far from scoring 2nd and also not far from assisting Kane too.


its crazy that Karl is 1 goal behind Musiala's ENTIRE 1st pro season at Bayern.....

Thomas Müller left our professional squad after being part of it for 16 years & we immediately respawned the next generational German talent in Lennart Karl the first season after. Can’t believe our luck. pic.twitter.com/ZX6OBR5Vlr

speaking of Bisseck gave Inter the 1-0 lead and currently if they win the game, they will be in 1st place in Serie A.

 

kid keeps racking up these MOTM, LOL, whether 1BL, DFB Cup, CL in 3/3.

he's become an indispensable XI for Kompany the more time passes by.

Not everything worked for Karl today but one can clearly see the potential whether in finishing, dribbling, playmaking etc. Like he could have had 3 assists today but his teammates especially Gnabry kept fumbling the set ups. The more he plays the better he'll become.

he's always dangerous and can make difference at any time. Kompany even let him play full 90 too.

 

the sign of a true CF!!!

 

that's why Kane is a BUM, he refuses to score against Bayern!!!

 

Leweling scores goalazo and Goal of the month. I still wouldn't take him to WC26.

2000298829313445902 is not a valid tweet id

 

but who would you leave out for Leweling? I feel like others are more impressive and more promising, Leweling belongs in pool option.

today for Stuttgart
-G1=Leweling Assist
-G2=Leweling scoring with Jeltsch Assist
-G3=Undav scoring with Leweling Assist
-G4=Fuhrich scoring with Mittelstadt Assist

outside of G1 scorer rest is all German Internationals minus Jeltsch who is Germany U21 but should make SNT in future.

as for Undav he's going on a scoring rampage because he wants to force Nagelsmann to call him up.

like seriously if things had gone better he could have had like 3 goals and 3 assists today, LOL.

crazy how he's always dangerous and almost always close to scoring/assisting. There was another match where Karl's pass should have been Jackson scoring but because he has such poor technical skills he fumbled it, LOL. That's the thing, only reason why his assists stat are low is because of misses by teammates otherwise would be much much higher.

Karl+Musiala could legit be gold!!!

 

yup today's match.

I wouldn't worry too much, his media hype minus psycho Basler seems very tame compared to what we saw for Moukoko, Arp, etc.

Kompany already does the protecting too.

 

yup, its SNT issue too as Nagelsmann insists on them....

Bayern’s game always looks static and inhibited when Goretzka plays. You can observe it every single time, and I keep asking myself how often we still have to watch this.

And when you then see him slowly and sulkily walking off the pitch after being subbed, even though the team…

The chances of Gnabry winning a 1v1 from the left wing these days are close to zero.
