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

best player to NEVER play Germany SNT.

how lucky are the rival countries??? We are giving every country a relief not using him!!!!

 

CF Burkardt after a slow start to season after his transfer to bigger club Frankfurt!!! Also playing his 1st EVER season in CL or European footy too. A Fit Burkardt almost always hits double digits in 1BL too, looks on track for another such season too.

 

curious to see
-is 00 CF Burkardt the 2nd best 00 CF in Europe??? Of course #1 is Haaland.
reality a fit Burkardt always bags double digits in 1BL and already performing in CL in his 1st season there.

Vlahovic used to be seen as 2nd best 00 CF in Europe but has been downtrending and where back to back seasons, Burkardt is doing better than him too.

Alvarez seems to be doing well in La Liga but as a 1.7m tall shrimp and playing 2 man upfront, that does take away pts from him tbh.

Kean is downtrending. David FINALLY left Ligue 1 and went Serie A where he hasn't done anything. Players like Raspodori, Ruiz, Boniface, Gouiri etc doing absolutely nothing too.


-looking like 02 CF Woltemade is legit contender for best 02 CF in Europe too. There are no 02s who are performing in top 4 league like Woltemade. Closest is Ekitike of France also in EPL, who has more games than Woltemade, LOL. Another 02 CF who is performing is German dev but Kosovo poached Asllani who plays for 1BL Hoffenheim, so that's like 2/3 are German dev, LOL. Its NOT surprising though as Woltemade won U21 Euro Golden Boot for 02-03 Age Groups and I've mentioned numerous times in past that rival countries's 02-03 CFs are mostly weak not that strong. Its funny that I got shit for stating that like 2 years ago and now these things are showing that more and more. Like one sees countries like Spain and Italy having more promising CFs in younger age groups than 02-03s.


what's funny is how everyone claims that Germany can't dev CFs, LOL. But more funny is how the claim that Germany's 01 CFs are complete and utter shit, soooooooooooo bad but yet one doesn't see much of any 01 CFs from any country doing anything, LOL. Seems like 01 Age Group for CFs is a weak one ALLROUND.

 

the timeframe of usage for Fullkrug was WC22-EC24, 2 tourneys is still a LOT. But due to Flick+Nagelsmann being both idiots we wasted that timeframe for nothing. Imagine even when he led a club like BVB who make a CL final like once every 10+ years he still gets shafted to bench even then.

Fullkrug has to be one of the most efficient SNT player like we've ever seen. And he did that with barely any usage too.

but yeah due to constant injury issues, his NT career is sadly done.

I think Kleindienst, Woltemade, Burkardt is not too bad for main options with Havertz getting used at AM/W and in case of need at CF.

 

imagine how effective Fullkrug was and add to the fact that he emerged while Germany were playing like shit.

how productive would Fullkrug have been with a peak Germany???

his #s would be off the charts, LOL.

the weird aspect about the Fullkrug story is
-Flick=bitching NON-STOP about CFs, he calls one just for him to be on bench. And then as I called it, he was going to scapegoat WC22 GS OUT on usual DFB of 0 CFs and he did that, LMAO.
-Nagelsmann=seems to have overexaggerated demands on Fullkrug but had no issues with Kleindienst+Undav playing in lesser clubs than him. Like why was he so hard on him? Even threatening to stop calling him up if he doesn't go to EPL....like WTF.....

its clear that Nagelsmann rates EPL more than 1BL too but why leeway towards Kleindienst/Undav????


but yeah issue is that Germany NEVER EVER looks good without CFs. The WHOLE attack becomes sterile and we end up with whole 1 million chances and 0-1 goals scored. Like the AM/W of Germany are ones who CANNOT function without a CF. That's why False 9 never works either.

we also NEVER EVER needed world class CF. Just need somebody who fits the style of play and that's it.

 

why does anyone think that EPL2 aka a U21 league is beneficial? Yup its issue of just being more youth crap.

that doesn't make sense though, how does a U21 league not stagnate players??? And the only players who risk stagnating badly are the ones from Leipzig, Bayer etc ones with no II team.

if it was beneficial you wouldn't see TONS of players ending up on Championship-League One-League Two loaning.

there is 0 need for any League Two Loan from German footy perspective as the II teams play in RL which is 4th division and they can only go upwards from there. And there are 2 1BL IIs in 3rd Liga too.

I find it bizarre how so many people involved in German footy, seems to prefer a U21 league over RL/4th division. In RL you play vs adult players and some even have 2BL-3rd Liga level experience too vs U21 league nothing but other kids.

the youth need to play vs adults for their dev, not other kids.

also, a SHIT TON of 1BL-2BL coaches put down RL as gap is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE jump. Imagine how they would act from a U21 league to 1BL-2BL, LMAO, would be MORE EXCUSES to NOT INTEGRATE.

 

naw, we need Andrich, Gross, Goretzka to play until 40 y/o.

Lets go Nagelsmann give us the most ANCIENT M you can muster!!!!

 

that's a confusing statement.

Karl looks like Messi who looks like Draxler. Does that mean Karl looks like Draxler???

Karl overdribbles my friend, he needs to master Draxler's world class backpassing skills.
