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

how dare Raum score direct FK..........should have been Kimmich!!!!

 

Northern Ireland takes the 1-0 lead vs Slovakia.

as things stand, Germany is toping the group.

 

LB Brown is now PERM capped tied by Germany!!!!!

Welcome to the best team in the world!!!


Northern Ireland now 2-0, so as we closing in on end, we are topping the group!!!!

 

because he's SHIT at M 100% for Germany. He's the German captain but nothing but a pathetic crybaby too. LOL who recalls when he said that he feels like a HUGE failure because the NT crashed and burned around the time he arrived........because its true, LMAO. Him and the 90s born players are the MAIN reasons for the downtrend.

he also is a clown too. He was part of the whinners about the Alphabet Mafia at WC22 but later on admitted that it was a BIG mistake and that the should NEVER have made a HUGE POLITICAL fuss about it aka regrets it.

because he 100% does NOT want to play RB. He'll publicly say he doesn't care but its been said numerous times that privately he WANTS to play M over RB. Never seems like the type that will do what's best for the team either.

Kimmich is epitome of everything wrong with current SNT. He's the poster boy for it, LMAO. I ain't gonna miss him when he retires, already 30 y/o too.

 

I don't think its coach mistake as he himself wants to play M over RB. Also 3 back to back coaches in NT trying to force him at M, LULZ.

world class is irrelevant, WC02 was trashed to the moon by everyone and that lot were nowhere near as bad as current Germany with lesser talent too. Like no reason why current Germany isn't playing well.

I 100% remember when everyone was like only world class players are Kahn+Ballack that's it and the rest of the team was SHAT on HARD.

as loads of people have mentioned the France W with Voller should have been the emulating point but Nagelsmann isn't doing that.

how is all pressure on him???? When he plays M, Kimmich PUTS PRESSURE ON THE REST OF THE TEAM.......

Kimmich is also GARBAGE at FKs and Corners. Its funny at how he crosses well and has fantastic throughballs when he plays at RB.

its like Kimmich can cross when in play/motion but when the ball is standing on the ground like FKs/corners he's 100% useless. He's also useless in ball in motion when it comes from playing from M.

his only use is at RB, when Bayern won CL, he was playing RB entire run too. He also assisted the winning goal in final from a fantastic cross as well.

but he's a freak who wants to play M because he thinks he's talented and that he wants more of the ball. Ironic since he has like 0 good M games for Germany. He's just an arrogant egomaniac player, LOL. But in a more nefarious way as his arrogannce/egomania isn't public one.

"In fact, Kimmich is ranked first in assist for this German team and mostly by playing RB position."

THIS is something some of us have been saying for AGES. That Kimmich at RB gets heavily involved in the attack and creates more chances for the team, more so than any other RB option we try but he doesn't want to play there.

his only issue at RB was WC18 where he advanced way way way too much and left the D exposed to counters. He's reigned himself in more these days so is more reliable in both A and D.

that's also his issue at M for Germany, he advances too much leaving entire D exposed. At least he reigns himself when playing at RB.

 

in all honesty, I don't see Kimmich as world class.

world class at what?
-he's terrible M
-and he's a good RB but not a world class one.

you ain't world class if you aren't one of the best in your position in the world. Its why I agree that he's master of none. Even more so since he himself doesn't want to play RB, sees himself as a M. Believe his issue is that he USED to be a M before being forced at RB.

Germany has way way way too many players who play all over and due to this, they don't really master any position. Like EVERY single German player is excessively flexible and playable in too many positions that they end up not mastering any position.

in all honestly, I've never in my life cared about world class topic.....who cares. A functioning team is more important. And that is something outside of EC24 we haven't seen since EC16. But issue is that we have gone backwards post EC24, LOL.

If Nagelsmann doesn't get it together we could flop another tourney. Needs to stop playing around and have a more fixed XI.

 

LOL

Julian Nagelsmann on whether Joshua Kimmich will continue at right-back or return to midfield: "I don't want to commit to either. I've committed in the past, but now it's time to take a step back. With the ball, he's playing exactly the same position he plays with the ball at Bayern. Josh consistently plays well in several positions. We'll see on Monday where he's needed most."

 

I think 2 things NOBODY here wants to see, LOL.
1-Kimmich at M
2-Havertz at CF

yet there is a fixation for both by DFB, LMAO. Issue is NOT Kimmich or Havertz. Kimmich is our best RB and Havertz ALWAYS performs when he plays off a CF rather than being the CF himself.

 

yup 0 XI consistency, LOL.

Julian Nagelsmann is planning tomorrow with the same lineup that started against Luxembourg on Friday. The last time Nagelsmann kept the same lineup for two games in a row was over a year ago in the group stage of Euro 2024 [@BILD] pic.twitter.com/4gQm7kjJaS
