You should have seen how Licht rekt Gaymar over 90min Didnt leave him one cm of space, multiple dirty fouls, time wasting from 80th minute on, slow walkout when subbed what an absolute legend performance

I think it's weird Behrami never played for us. Tenacious fucker with incredible stamina and more than decent technique. So obviously a Juve player imo.

How accurate!

Neuer

Kimmich - Süle - Hummels - Hector

Kroos - Goretzka

Reus - Muller - Draxler

Werner

The arrogance of the Belgian press towards Panama is absolutely sickening. The players and the staff have been very respectful in interviews, but the media have been horrendous. I am truly disappointed by their behaviour towards a lesser team. Of course we are expected to win tonight. Panama say this as well. But some of the things said.. This morning one reporter referred to Panama as an 'appetizer'. Ugh.

It's funny how much better Germany looks when you take out Ozil. He definitely deserved his spot in 2014, but right now there's not a single reason I can think of to field him. I probably wouldn't even have taken him to Russia.

And that's when we're strictly talking football. Then there's the whole Erdogan mess.

Exactly. Özil these days can't do anything good, he was invisible yesterday. Much better to play Reus instead of him.

Werner

@DAiDEViL

personally I would field either Werner or Muller.
Muller puts a lot of grinta in his play but he is not a cam.
He is either a SS or CF

So I would go

Neuer
Kimmic-Sule-Hummels-Hector
Kroos-Goretzka-Gundogan
Reus-Werner-Draxler or Brandt

Having a stronger midfield instead of over packing the attack zone

That frontline not hungry enough, yesterday Brandt went on and looked three times as likely to score as any of the attackers, that shot that skimmed the post was great

Reus and Draxler on the wings with Muller as SS or behind Werner like i posted there. Not like CAM, he's never going to play that role. Benching him and Boateng would be a big call, but they really need change. Especially in midfield.

Agree. I think he's not going to start at World Cup but those subs should be earlier.

With Muller out of form Germans got too many crafty, soft players like Reus, Ozil, Draxler, they need someone direct

Leroy Sané

He was shit every game for NT.


Kalinic could already be returning home from the World Cup after refusing to come on off the bench (due to his dissatisfaction with not starting) claiming he was experiencing pain in his back. There will be an official press conference at 16:15 CET.

Gabriel Jesus’ game by numbers vs. Switzerland:

0 goals
0 assists
0 shots on target
0 chances created
0/4 dribbles completed
53% pass accuracy

Khedira mode ON
