    We will need an entire bus of therapists for our German national team players, if Germany plays like this in the group and get knocked out.

    This German team is actually hopeless, not even a Klopp-Pep combo can save this generation

      Agreed. We need to come to terms with the fact that this generation just isn’t as good.

      Not that surprising either. Playing football just isn’t as big of a thing here as it was until the 90s. The bolzplatz (public football ground) we fought over when we were kids is almost always deserted and has been for years. Other countries like Japan have caught up with us not because something changed on the professional level, but because 15 years ago there was more football-mania among kids in Japan than there was in Germany.

        cause school lasts until 16:30h. and after that you go to your local sportverein. it has nothing to do with football being unpopular.

          Good point about the late school hours. But I suspect that it also has to do with other sports and hobbies becoming more popular. There are so many more things to do, so naturally the number of boys for whom football is EVERYTHING is smaller today. (Which in and of itself isn’t really a bad thing.)

    The DFB hired the wrong coach if their goal was to bring pragmatic, result orientated football

      I don’t know what their goal was but if that was it then Nagelsmann was obviously the worst choice you could make. Playing normal and pragmatic football seems too boring for him.

    Cant play with a 3/5 defense when you dont even have the players for it sane and kai dont know the position to play the defensive part whole game with discipline And henrichs is wasted as rcb . When pressed high the offense doesnt drop far enough back and there is a big space between def and offense which forces long high balls and we dont have players who can shield the ball or win a header fülle a little but not nearly enough. Gündogan kimmich pairing is bad because they are both weak defensive and get outbodied and outrun, if you play with 2 you need 1 who can win the ball back. Quite a few more things but these are the big and important things.
