Kdb work rate off the ball is immense...that guy is really the perfect player for pep

As long as I'm concerned, anything "red devils" in football... I support... Be it manu or Belgium....
There you have it... Go belgium

Just take a look at jeonbuk fc

patrickmuf:
Croatia have looked the part, They might win it...

Yeah, they have.. But I have this nagging feeling that Denmark might cause an upset

patrickmuf:
He did better yesterday but in the group stage he was really bad...He also missed the chance to go one on one with Lloris when he was released by a Banega pass early in the game, he should have ran across the defender who would have been foolish to touch him but he choosed to go wide...

Yeah that's true sha....i find myself in a dilemma on who to support, if England can actually get their shiit together, they might win this tourney....

patrickmuf:
Why Sampaoli prefers Pavon and Mezza to Dybala and Aguero is beyond me.
Even Di Maria is shit bar the goal, for me, Portugal without Ronaldo is better than Argentina without Messi...

Given the poor setup by sampaoli, I still think Di Maria was one of their best players, apart from the goal, he terrorised French full backs, I think he was even the one who drew d foul on pavard for that freekick that led to the 2nd goal..

chuksp09:
Cash out, Spain might play over goals

Yeah.. That's my exact fear, a friend played the same game I did but replaced Spain with France 1xunder4...the rest is history...

Advise guys, was given a cashout of 8600...should i ignore it and wait for the remaining 2 games?

True. He took the game by the scruff of the neck. ROJO was very awful today, Mou might do well to offload him.

How Mascherano and Otamendi finished the game is still a mystery to me.

Otamendi should be banned for 10 months, he did that same thing to rakitic, isn't FIFA seeing all these

I repeat mbappe is the best young talent....

Cc capitalcee

Like you said he only started being creative with the game almost up. He did very little in the first 60 mins of the game, it took the mobility of guys like Werner and Reus to unlock Sweden for the first goal.

Gundogan did precious little and ironically Julian Brandt who came on in the 86th was more productive than he was.

The problem is Loew is playing favorites! His favorites are letting him down and it has turned his tactics and formation upside down. Why are the fullbacks bombing forward? Cos the likes of Oezil, Draxler and Mueller are not doing their jobs! The question now is how does he bench all 3 without looking stewpid? And that's not even mentioning Khedira who is supposed to shield the defense

Schweini is sorely missed. He was a big tournament player who could do it all in that midfield. A midfield General

I'm ok with Brandt off the bench but Loew shouldn't wait that late to bring him on

You're quite right, one has to feel for loew,cos the trio of ozil Muller and draxler have been useless this World Cup... Mullers woes started from euros, if loew cant find a formation where Muller is closer to the box, then it's useless playing him on d flanks cos he can't do shoot there... Gundogan disappointed me yesterday, was too casual.. But this Germany are not playing like a team that can even reach the semis... I hope Loew does something fast...
The absence of bastain can't b overemphasized

A40:
This high line is not tenable. Please! The Koreans are not out yet and won't just fall down and die.

Draxler should announce his international retirement after this tournament. Had no business making that team

Kroos redeemed himself but still he dropped so many careless passes and didn't create enough quality opportunities from open play

I want to criticize Werner but I can't because he played a role in both goals. He is supposed to be the #9 but is having to move about and turn creator because guys like Kroos are not doing enough.

Boateng. Started well covering Rudiger's mess but then I no know the anjoonu wey enter am later on

Mueller's days as a starter for Bayern and Germany are surely numbered if he keeps dropping rubbish performances like these.

Neuer. The nerve, the audacity of these heathens to compare De Gea to you

Despite the fact that kroos had a hand in Sweden goal and misplaced a few passes doesn't mean he didn't try enough from open play... I think towards the last 15 minutes, he started giving more adventurous passes, both the change of playing he switched to reus which he miscued and that golden pass to Gomez which he just had to direct his header,but no, he headed it straight at Olsen...even when they were pressing for the winner, there were many times kroos increased the tempo of his passing for a quick 1 2,but his teammates would dull the attack.. I was even angry with gundogan, his drive that he's known for was not seen, he was just playing safe and giving normal side passes...
I think it's time loew finds a way to start Brandt,draxler should be dropped from the starting lineup..

Since I started supporting Germany 2002,this is the most unbalanced team they have produced at a major tournament,no shield for the defense at all, the fullbacks just attack without caution thereby exposing the defense... Loew should find a player to strike that balance and shield that defense.. They really miss schweinsteiger

Kroooooosssss of life

Kroooosssss....... Best player ever

another heart break...

Chatting with a friend

I honestly don't get why England is playing 5 defensive players.. Take off trippier ND maybe lingard of Alli.. Get vardy with another cmf and attack..

What's kukuma my own concern.. Tunisia should attack more.. Enough of the touches in their half

Nihilstjnr:
Tunisia dey tap ball o

Honestly they have been the most impressive of the African teams

Africa needs a victory in this World Cup O...tunisia can do it

raumdeuter:
All goals conceded by African countries have been from set pieces

Yeah.. I thought I was d only one who noticed that...

Go Tunisia.. Blaady European scumwaats

larride:
You are not aware that “Even imbeciles knows that goal belongs to Pogba”? Unfortunately for Pogba those at FIFA are not imbeciles.

Lana1:
Spain were not defending champions in 2010.

Infact every defending champion since 2002 have been eliminated from the tourney in the group stage. Only Brazil made it as far as the QFs in 2006!

yeah..i saw that stat earlier today.. Scary

raumdeuter:
Wrong tactics. The insistence on playing Draxler and Ozil

Gundogan for ozil, Reus for Draxler. We were too open to counter attacks today because our midfield was too open.

4-3-3 is the way to go, Not 4231. Krros cannot play in a double pivot especially when the partner is Khedira thatg loves to bomb forward

Back 4
Gundog--Kroos-Khedira/Goretzka
Muller--Werner Reus

Just like you read my mind

chic2pimp:


What went wrong with you guys today? Wrong tactics?Wrong Formation? Wrong Players selected?

Everything wrong, starting from the defense, hummels was terrible today, bad at positioning, and honestly,its not as if boateng was great either... Whenever Germany attacks, their flanks are left vulnerable to counter attacks and their CBS are not the fastest either...

Then the midfield. Khedira's duty is to shield the defence, but every time Germany was being attacked it was kroos seen further back, and kroos isn't really a dm,and he's not very fast.. Whenever they were countered, the midfield was just bypassed...

Then in attack, I think it's time Muller is dropped from that German starting lineup.. He showed signs of diminishing returns right from euro 2016,but I think Joachim loew still wanted to be loyal to him since he has paid his dues, it's actually time up for Muller.. He's actually lost his Midas touch...
Timo Werner, I don't even understand that one self...

Solution...i think low should find a way to play gundogan in this team, then that way either him or khedira can actually shield that joke of a defense...

One to watch is Julian Brandt, his 5minute cameo was actually promising.. Ozil and draxler didn't really impose themselves in the game...

Y was sane dropped

diggz:
I can't help your case then.....

Take this one....

....on the bright side, Spain lost their opening fixture 1 0 in 2010 and still won the World Cup...

We shall bounce back

Unlimited22:
Muller has been shit for a long while.
He's slowly losing the golden touch that made us ignore the fact that while he's a wizard at positioning and being an opportunist, he actually can't play football.

Fact

Where has Brandt been all this while

Unlimited22:
What happened to Jonas Héctor and Phillipp Max?
Why Marvin Plattenhardt of all people?

Honestly I never really fancied that jonas Hector but this plattenhardt isn't better

Fuucckk you Gomez..

All these stupid fouls that boateng is causing

Vanquay:
Valencia is the standard for decent RBs...Any halfwit can shut down Sanes Kick and run style of "Dribbling" what this team needs is a live chicken to sacrifice to the gods because this game is over.

Maybe they need to sacrifice that pig

diggz:
Ok....

Just so you know draxler can dribble like tomorrow no dey but I clearly get your point tho....

Yeah.. It's really paining me here.. I'm supporting Germany in this World Cup FFS...germany needs a bit of individual brilliance
