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

And Pengland have hired Tuchel. Wow.
Thought ST Goergoes Park will be the institution which will produce world class English coaches. LOL

 

For English fans, Germany are probably seen as their biggest rivals( Scotland is not really a serious rival). So that must be really humiliating for them.

German fans probably consider the Netherlands, Italy and Argentina as their biggest rivals so they don't really care. However, I think France and Spain should be seen as bigger footballing rivals from now on.

 

what's new in Pavlovic game is his defensive skills. Last year he was only a ball distributor was exposed numerous times because of his position. Now under Kompany he got that toughness and duel won,it's very hard to dribble past him even Palinha got benched by Pavlovic lol.

Nagelsmann had it all correct. I am afraid Havertz and Sane will have a hard time coming back to starting eleven since the young lads and new faces prove to be starting contenders.

Competition is fierce again

 

Havertz is always a starter no matter what. Every coach loves him. He’s unstoppable and untouchable lol.

 

Are they the same or different type of midfielder?

 

Bischoff>Stiller

 

[Bild] Aleksandar Pavlović is due to undergo surgery shortly and is now expected to be sidelined for up to three months. Initially, Bayern were expecting Pavlović to be out for 'just' 6 weeks. But the surgery now means he will need around 3 months to make his comeback.

That’s terrible. Apparently Palhinha had a great game after he came on. Hopefully Pavlovic won’t struggle to win back his starting spot after his injury. Palhinha has 3 months to get used to the team and make the starting spot his own. I hate when injuries hinder the progress of young players just as they hit a great run of form.

 

Dam . That is terrible news. No doubt about it, Pavlovic is currently one of the most inform midfielders in Europe, this seriously is a bitter blow.

Fingers crossed for a swift recovery and continue where he left off. Yes Paulinha will cover, but there's levels , Pavlovic is in a different league.

 

Brandt has been consistently good and currently having a great game agaisnt Real Madrid, so at this point it's clear Nagelsmann just doesn't rate him at all.

 

Falling apart now Dortmund. Why ON Earth did they go defensive

 

As the going got tough, Brandt started losing the ball regularly and even contributed to the 3rd Madrid goal. It's typical Brandt. Mentally and physically weak when it matters.

I gave up on him 5-6 years ago and I am glad that Nagelsmann also doesn't rate him.

 

Excellent Stuttgart performance away v Juve, thoroughly deserved win with 7 Germans in the starting XI, inc 5 NT players. Was particularly impressed by Stiller and Leweling.

 

Is Emre Can going to get called up again? What he did for the 4th goal was pathetic. Why did he give up? Why did he stop sprinting? He was fresh. How could he have no stamina after being on the pitch for 10 minutes?

Given we are already qualified, why not call up Bisseck and cap tie him this international break? Especially given Anton is injured there is space in the squad.
