Toni Kroos to retire after EUROs

[Corto]

Thought this deserved its own thread.

Amazing footballer, one of the best midfielders of all time.

Gonna be watching RM last game at the Bernabeu this weekend, should be an emotional send off.

The man was a passing monster. Didn't stop casuals from calling him "Querpass Toni".

That sucks, but it is not that surprising.

Will be missed.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Great player. Madrid will miss him a lot more than many realize

 

[Power Man]

High footbalL IQ

Has the potential to be a good coach

Gonna miss his finesse goals

 

[Evilo]

Asshole, always has been.
Great player that lost a step at some point but who managed to come back to a good level again.
Won't be missed.

Everybody remembers those last minute Real goals. Most forget his were the crosses for those goals.

My biggest problem with Kroos is his grandpa mentality

Bruh, let other players have emotions and celebrate goals

 

[Evilo]

Or when he throws his teammates under the bus in the media.
Arrogant asshole.

 

[Power Man]

Or when he throws his teammates under the bus in the media.

I remember him throwing him Leroy Sane under the bus

He'll have won every trophy there is to win, so why not go out on a high

Ugh this is so weird, the last DDR-born superstar is almost the exact same age as me. So I'm happy for him, but it's kind of really sad that his main career is already behind him.

I know his podcast is doing well, but I hope he finds some purpose in coaching, he seems like he'd be very good at it.

LOL I thought this was sarcasm. Turns out you're serious.

Doesn’t deserve its own thread either. Just imagine if Nacho were retiring instead of just leaving.

 

[Albatros]

Nacho, the World Cup All-Star and three-time ToTY member.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Yeah, such an asshole

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

This is like that time people defended Zlaten… lol

Maybe we should ask Ozil what he thinks?

Kroos is a good player but him whining about celebrations gives you old man yells at cloud vibes. Glad to see him go as a rival and that’s the best thing I can say about him.

The salt lol. "Good player". Like he's Leon Goretzka tier.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Kroos is very blunt which does make him look like an asshole. Is he one? I don't know. Most of his teammates seem to like him and i guess that's what matters in the end.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

God what a post to come back with

Welcome back pal

Thanks man.

I mean he’s no Modric. I heard some outlets call him one of the best players for Madrid …I personally don’t see it.

When Modric retires, you'll find something to belittle him

 

[luiginb]

To be honest, he IS particularly ugly /s

Go find a post I ever spoken badly about him… he’s footballing royalty. Just happens to play for the wrong team.

Sure is, cannot argue
