World Cup: National Team threads #2

[cgf]

And with that win Nagelsmann’s kids qualify for the next round of the nations league for the first time in our history…despite missing almost the entire front 4.

I wonder what our friend thinks of how Germany’s non-existent young talent is doing at the senior level a few years after his proclamation?

BTW the reportedly raped woman in Sweden said Mbappe was her aggressor per Swedish sources.

I'm sure it's nothing and it's just me mad at Mbappe for leaving L1.

Wasn't his mum part of his "encourage" in Sweden? As long as I don't find other sources than Daily Fail and Reddit I find it hard to believe.

And now he doesn't give a damn about the NT and Real.
See the trend?


Lol you think you can school me on Pol Pot over a joke I made?
My oh my are you limited...

I see the issue. You tried making a joke but you forgot the funny.

Can't wait to see how tommorrow's match goes. If the Stiller-Pavlovic double pivot is ready, almost everything would be falling into place for us to be serious threats in 2026. I'd still have my reservations about Tah-Rüdiger when we have Schlotterbeck (& Chabot), but we'd still have one hell of a starting 11:

Havertz
Wirtz - Undav - Musiala
Pavlovic - Stiller
Mittelstädt - Tah - Rüdiger - Kimmich
ter Stegen​

...with a ton of quality depth for the front 4; Füllkrug, Kleindienst, Moukoko, Burkardt, Beier, Adeyemi, Gruda, Wanner, Sane, Gnabry, Führich, Brandt, Werner, Leweling, Schade, Brunner, Darvich, Weiper, Moerstedt.

Some strong alternatives at CB; Schlotterbeck, Chabot, Thiaw, Anton...good depth at LB; Raum, Gosens, Rothe, Netz, Kabar...and solid depth behind MAtS; Bauman, Ortega, Nübel. Though the depth on the right side of defense & the double pivot is a lot iffier.

What’s the scouting report on Stiller? Haven’t seen enough of him yet but reading lots of high praise about him

Was a big time prospect at Bayern’s academy, followed Hoeneß to hoffenheim where he stalled for a bit. Then he followed Hoeneß to stuttgart and has been ascending rapidly ever since last season started.

Good size & good athlete, even if he’s no Goretzka / Ouedraogo.

Very skilled with the ball under pressure, with a strong set pieces deliveries / crosses / longballs, and he has developed the necessary steel to man a spot in the double pivot at a very high level.

Not as defensively sound as andrich yet…stuttgart pairs him with a more defensive Karazor…but he looked good next to Pavlo against the Dutch.

Just because you have no taste doesn't make you right.
As usual you tried to hijack a discussion with useless crap.

Not sure where you're looking at but he's officially under investigation (expressen).

People here keep on trying to spin it around but I've been right on Mbappe every step of the way.
And he's been on an awful path the last 6-12 months and now he's in serious trouble.
Him trying to blame PSG for being accused of rape in Sweden is hilarious.

 

[Incubajerks]

How embarrassing this hate campaign against Mbappè coming from his country.

 

[Evilo]

Lol...

 

[Brunkmeister]

Well Julian Assange went here and the rest is history…

Korea win 3-2 over Iraq to continue winning ways

 

[koyvoo]

Poland scored early and then Croatia ripped them apart for 3 goals in 6 minutes midway through the first half.

 

[luiginb]

Scotsman Nick Walsh (who looks like he should be going around saying "I'm a real boy") with a scandalous penalty decision that he didn't want to overrule even after VAR let him now he was being wrong.

 

[koyvoo]

Croatia to play the last quarter of an hour with 10 men after having already squandered a two goal lead to Poland.

 

[Ceremony]

Ronaldo booed off after having a strop because the ref blew for full tile rather than giving them a corner

You see you just don't care about these kinds of victories when you're from a half-decent country, and it's a shame people miss out.

Argentina back to winning ways. Messi is just Messi 3 goals and 2 assists, what else is there to say? He's also the leading goal scorer in the qualifiers lol how old is he? Nearly everyone played great today. The trio worked great together Alvarez sets up Lautaro goal with an insane through ball to Messi who lays it off to Martinez for a tap in. Messi first goal was all done by Lautaro hard work. Alvarez scored a great goal from a signature Messi through ball. All well taken goals.

Almada scored after some great passes from Paredes and Molina. Paz who made his debut looked the goods. He's soo smooth on the ball, Argentinean Odegaard. His link up play with Messi for his 3rd goal was a treat to watch. Cant wait to see more of him, kid has a bright future.

Enzo had a great chip in for Otamendi's goal that was stupidly called off side for a player that had nothing to do with the goal. When is that transfer to Saudi Arabia happening, he'd be better off.

Wanner’s goal is a real beauty. Oth Gruda’s run to set it up & Wanner’s take were really impressive, that was just a gorgeous goal.

Everything about this is amazing. Paz link up play representing the present and future for the NT. Messi hat trick and RDP reaction.

Paz is awesome. The fee Como paid was insanely low - do Madrid have a buyback?

Sadlt Madrid have a buy back and a sell on clause.
