World Cup: National Team threads #2




Should be a fun squad for the Italy matches, despite the absences of Wirtz, Havertz, Pavlovic, ter Stegen, etc. Guessing Leroy starts next to Musiala, Kleindienst, and Undav, while Groß starts next to Andrich. Though I'd be down to see Stiller start over Groß and Burkardt to start over Sane.

Besfort Zeneli, little brother to Arber Zeneli has choose to play for Sweden. He choose between Sweden and Kosovo. I think he has a good future and will be a good player in a Leauge like ligue 1.

We were bitching with out son about DD needing to call up Doue, and he told me well DD's job isn't easy.
Who do you select?

Let's pretend we make a 23 men squad. Healthy.
Let's also pretend Mbappe buys himself some new piece of character and prefers playing for his team as captain rather than shagging whores in Sweden.

Gk (3) : pretty straight forward it's Maignan, Chevalier and whomever.
RB (2) : Kounde, Gusto, Pavard
CB (4) : Saliba, Upamecano, Konate, Lucas, Lukeba, W. Fofana, Yoro, Todibo, Disasi, Kalulu, Lacroix, Boscagli
LB (2) : F. Mendy, Digne, Theo, Merlin
CM (4-5) : Camavinga, Tchouameni, Zaire Emery, Kamara, Thuram, Millot, Rabiot, Guendouzi, Y. Fofana, Kone, Bouaddi
AM (5-6): Cherki, Doue, Mbappe, Barcola, Olise, Dembele, Nkunku, Akliouche, Coman, Rutter
ST (2-3) : Kolo Muani, Thuram, Ekitike, Mateta

My picks in bold.

Who do you pick?

Akliouche and K. Thuram out was a hard choice.

Damm crazy depth! What happened with Meslier? He or Samba as 3rd keeper.
 
Will be interesting to see who makes the final 23 next summer. I’m probably forgetting some candidates and including some kids who are still a cycle away barring a breakthrough campaign next year, but Nagelsmann should have some interesting options.

GK: ter Stegen, Baumann, Ortega, Urbig, Atubolu
RB: Kimmich, Henrichs, Baku, Vagnoman
CB: Rüdiger, Tah, Schlotterbeck, Anton, Koch, Chabot, Bisseck, Thiaw, Jeltsch
LB: Mittelstädt, Raum, Gosens, Rothe
CM/DM: Andrich, Pavlovic, Stiller, Nmecha, Groß, Goretzka, Amiri, Can, Reitz, Martel
AM/W: Wirtz, Musiala, Sane, Brandt, Führich, Leweling, Adeyemi, Beier, Schade, Knauff, Gruda, Wanner, Bischof
ST: Undav, Burkardt, Havertz, Kleindienst, Füllkrug, Woltemade, Weiper, Moerstedt, Moukoko

Do you think Undav will be North America come 2026?

I haven't been following him much since he left Brighton but it seems like he is producing.

Undav or Burkardt should start next to Havertz / Kleindienst / Füllkrug / Woltemade in the double-9. Nagelsmann has been a big fan and Undav has responded brilliantly in previous windows.

Although given Burkardt’s form when healthy, I might prefer him…he reminds me of a young Thomas MÜller more than any german attacker since the old timer himself.

Good depth. Not France level depth but still good.

Yeah, health will be more important for us; as Wirtz, Musiala, and Kimmich are simply irreplaceable. But if our best players are healthy, it should be a really fun tourney. With multiple options to support those two geniuses.

Havertz/Woltemade/Kleindienst
Wirtz - Undav/Burkardt - Musiala
Andrich/Nmecha - Pavlovic/Stiller
Mittelstädt - Tah/Schlotterbeck - Rüdiger/Tah - Kimmich
ter Stegen​
