Lehmann? What happened to Butt?

 

[Slagathor]

Timo Hildebrand :thumb: Sure hope he won't be in the goal against Holland. I'd appreciate a screw-up on the opposite end ... such as Kahn

I say select Schweinsteiger. Has some nice moves.

 

[Desmond]

no neuville

 

[Slagathor]

They probably told him to "go get a shirt your own size first"

Schweinsteiger has impressed me this season, especially against Real Madrid, where he was Bayern's only good player. He should at least be in the squad

don't know, Butt is ok and fit. Last match he tried to score again from the penalty spot but failed ...I would have take Butt, Hildebrand and Schober.. but I'm afraid that Kahn will remain between the posts until a flash will hit him. It seems that performance doesn't play any role. The same with Lehmann, how could that flycatcher step into NT???

Switzerland added

"flycatcher" brilliant, man! :thumb:

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

fredi bobic? he still around?

 

[kurvengeflüster]

yes of course ... he is our best man Actually we have a problem with our forwards. So everyone can jump onto the train to Portugal.

 

[Slagathor]

Actually, I reckon a striker force of Lukas Podolski & Kevin Küranyi (umlaud?) would be a smashing hit! I can just see that strike force tear defences apart!

 

[nosubstitute959]

Which teams are left?

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

the rest

 

[nosubstitute959]

Oh shut up!! :fero:

good one though

 

[Bjerknes]

The Czech Republic's predicted formation from World Soccer:

Cech

Grygera - Bolf - Ujfalusi - Jankulovski

Galasek

Poborsky - Rosicky - Nedved

Baros - Koller




I think this side has the potential to be one of the big surprises of the the Tournament. But with the emaculate run they had in qualifying, I wonder if they can do the same in Portugal.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

lookin good

Rahn OUT <--> Ziege IN

Injured Christian Rahn failed fitness check at DFB training camp. He will be substituted by Christian Ziege.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]
