World Cup: National Team threads #2

[Bringer of Jollity]

That looked clearly off, probably bad camera angle. German defense gonna German defense.

Germany beaten so far by a guy 3 years older than their coach lol. Told y'all I don't have them as a top 8 team in the World right now.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Audio been cutting out for US feed the entire f'ing game...at least on Sling

 

[koyvoo]

Can’t believe Bernardo is still on the pitch. Not sure if I’ve heard his name even once in this game.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Writz lucky not to be sent off. Those lousy SA players ruining a perfect game

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

It’s the same Germany we’ve seen the past decade or so. They’re slowly trending in the wrong direction.

Are they gonna scrap? Fullkrug would wipe the floor with everyone involved if this turns ugly.

Can’t be uglier than Naggelsman

MAtS being a superhero this could’ve been 4-1.

Add another 10 milllion united

Goretzka playing 90 in 2025 is

Gosens gonna be calling Vitinha ‘Daddy’ after that one.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Best coach in international football apparently.

Anyway the less said the better for Germany. Second best NT apparently.

 

[SimpleJack]

Germany absolutely embarrassed yet again in a big match. Been all downhill since 2014. And when you look at the talent gap between themselves and the other top teams in the world it doesn’t look like this gets fixed any time soon.

He made sense today. With a back 3 and Pavlovic, him being free to roam was fine & if there had been a little more cohesion his forward runs could've paid off more. Either way, fun game, and probably the best result we could've asked for, hopefully they beat France/Spain in the final so that they're stuck with Martinez for the real tourney

...really felt like we were in good shape until Mittelstadt came off for Gosens. Gosens was great in his union days, but he lacks reps under Nagelsmann even if we weren't down to CBs that will be fighting for the final spot on the WM roster, around Tah. So unless we get killed by injuries, don't think he should make the WM roster either.

There's a reason I don't have Koch or Anton on my WM roster

Yay! I've missed you so much, so how are the kids?

...do you really think this is what our WM lineup will look like, or are you just SJ'ing?

At least he didn't start Kimmetzka together, though he should have used an actual 6 with Pavlovic.

 

[koyvoo]

Francisco Conceicao scored a decisive goal vs Germany 25 years after his father burned them with a hat trick.

 

[Jussi]

Ahem: UEFA Nations League 2025

 

[cgf]

Portugal does have some damn good fowards. England has no decent goalie, nor decent CBs.
Also, how many english players have a top 3 players at their position? Kane? Maybe Saka?
Portugal has the best LB in the world, and their two young midfielders are already among the best.
Bruno is also one of the best 10 around.

Ignoring Jude while hyping Bruno is peak Evilo

You're making a mountain out of a molehill by ignoring that we started with a back 3 before shifting to exactly that...

We need Wirtziala together and two of Rudi / Tah / Nico anchoring the defense, to win it all next summer. But that's not news.

We looked good until Gosens came on for Mittelstädt, despite all of the absences. How anyone less simple than our good friend Jack could act like that was anything other than encouraging is beyond me

Injuries are always a possibility. And with fair reffing you were getting beaten badly today by a team with a clueless coach.

Portugal had missing players too. Yet carved up Germany at times with an idiot for a coach.

I just don’t see how this team can beat the field and take the WC. Way too many holes.

 

[Live in the Now]

They’re basically in the also ran category. Couple great players, could advance far if fortunate, but no guaranteed results. So like England in 2014. Comfortably in the B tier with the Netherlands and Italy now. Portugal, France, Spain above the rest and England right behind them.
