Yeh but it can only take one bad fall, one late challenge, one awkward twist and Cleverley could be injured again.
Positive thinking, yo.

As much as I dislike Barcelona he is a class act. And one of the players who gets overlooked to a degree because the world is to busy boring us to death by spaffing their load over Messi every time he so much as looks at a ball.
Of course not, neither did I mention Badstuber or Khedira who didn't do enough for defense and just sort of automatically assumed his position as an attacking DM like vs. Greece, but who the fuck knows what Löw whispered in his ear?Of course not 1 mention of Hummels dreadful, dreadful showing.
Bwahahahah, hilarious to hear that coming from a Bayern fan. Are also Miami Heat fan by any chance too??
How is that not showing class? I did commend Italy for playing well and exposing us:

I just mentioned the broken Bayern bunch & the players who were wrongly placed/fielded by Löw.
No, Hummels made a bunch of mistakes including the 1-0 together with Badstuber, but he had 2 huge scoring opportunities in front of the Italian goal so yes, of course I'm less critical of him.
Sky Sports understands that a delegation from Newcastle United have arrived in Holland to open talks with FC Twente over Luuk de Jong and Douglas.
I can't imagine the games being tremendously arduous, to be honest.
Bayern fan since 94, when all of my friends became Dortmund fans because of the 2 titles in 95 /96 (shudder). I despise the Heat (honestly worst team ever!).
You did congratulate them, but what about the sudden bashing of our team / the Bayern players? We win together, we lose together. Didnt really expect you to call off the truce within minutes of our defeat (i even defended Hummels hours after the game). Even Milchmann was pretty reasonable (by his standards).
saying they don't give their all for the team is just plain wrong
yeah he looks like he didn't care
Germany should be thankful. They have an exceptionally talented team who just need to learn to handle the big occasions but they stick together. There were no reports of infighting, egs etc... while our Netherlands NT is in tatters and divided as fuck with everyones ego getting in the way.
Germany are a joy to watch and their success will come. It's only a matter of time. I must say though, I prefer Reus to Podolski and Klose to Gomez in the national team. just my opinion.
Despite being linked to Liverpool, Lacina Traore is officially going to Anzhi.

A Traore-Eto'o partnership could be scary for opposing teams. Thankfully, Anzhi's lineup will still be half-filled with scrubs, because of the foreigner limit. In a lesser league a team like that could have just bought their way to a title.
Haha brilliant! And it's the only name you should get anyway !!Hey Yurt, to my suprise out here in Florida I found this for the back of my new Juve kit.
It was the only name they had left. So happy.
After seeing Montolivo and Cassano playing today I personally can't wait until the season begins. Milan will kick ass, I'm sure!
We treat each other with humility and never call each other names.
Absolutely, him & Hummels (who's set to become the Dortmund captain) will probably duke it out for the Nati captain.Müller is class.
Shame he had his off-season this year (not in 2011 like Badstuber), but he still shows determination and the will to win.
I fully expect him to become Bayern captain in the future.
Yeah, but look at this way: with this player material how can you fail so miserably every fucking time? It's mostly Löw's fault. We're tired of seeing them lose and shit their pants at every big occasion. Players like Schweinsteiger don't seem to have the backbone to win anything. How is that we didn't even get one yellow card and Italians got like 4? They fucking gave a damn, we didn't. This is a pretty soulless team atm. because the wrong ppl. are in command.Germany should be thankful.

What do you mean by sudden bashing? It was like 2h later after all the interviews and watching them act like it's all fine & dandy. I could barely hold it during the other games with Schweinsteiger who is absolutely not fit to play and should never find himself on the pitch.
But then his presence is supposedly like a moral bonus in strategy games, lol
Yes yes, those passes vs. NL, but he was absolutely left to himself & unguarded.
What else is there? They have the loser gene (Kroos inherited it too, Müller didn't) and they're unlikely to win anything, I just hope other player will replace them till 2014.

"We know exactly how strong we are, said fellow winger Andre Schurrle, another young player who slipped into the team seamlessly against Greece.
The coach wanted some changes and you could see that there was no compromise in the quality of our performance. It is a huge advantage to have so many outstanding players.
We are very self-confident and aim to get into the final and win it, and I think we have justified our favourites billing.

Currentlly only Neuer und Müller possess the Bayern gene.
I dont wanna talk about this awful season anymore.
LOL You make the semi finals in the Euro and Bayern despite not winnig anything performed well and that is an awful season?I dont wanna talk about this awful season anymore.

We didn't even get a freakin point in the Euros and played horribly. That's AWFUL buddy. Fuck i am so pissed off with the Dutch players at the moment.
Nah mate. Words cannot describe how shit I felt after that Portugal game... It's always disappointing not to win but German fans can be proud imo as they have a young squad and a very bright future. You don't want to go out in shame like we did, that was embarrasing.I'd have preferred us losing like Holland. We'd at least start anew, not lie to ourselves again. For me, I'd either go out immediately or win the damn thing. Everything in between is tortue. It's the hope that kills you. Makes the eventual defeat so much more crushing.
Wayne Rooney will still be excused the full slog of Manchester United's pre-season tour this summer, despite looking off the pace at the Euros. Rooney's fitness was called into question after he played all 120 minutes but had little impact on England's quarter-final loss to Italy. The Manchester United striker was suspended for England's opening two games, so had not played a full match in over a month before doing so twice in five days at the Euros. However, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will not demand that his star striker join a globe-trotting three-game trip which will take the squad first to South Africa and then to China. Instead, Rooney and his fellow Euro 2012 campaigners will undergo an intense conditioning programme at United's training ground. The club's policy is to give an extended three-week break to players who have been involved in tournaments such as the Euros.
Yeah, Kroos would probably be a better replacement for Schweinsteiger (although I consider Kroos to be phlegmatic to the core even when he's fit. He slows down attacks and is not aggressive on the defense), but he'd still be better than Schweinsteiger & then some proper right winger.I dont rate Lahm, him being skipper is definitely part of the problem and i hate his interviews. Gomez said it best: Wir haben viermal auf die Fresse gekriegt. (We got punche/kicked in the face four times). That sums it up perfectly.
Regarding Schweinsteiger: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39341114&postcount=4830 . I agree with you though he wasnt fit and i would've preferred playing Kroos for him and not with him.
Currentlly only Neuer und Müller possess the Bayern gene. Dont get me wrong, you are certainly allowed to criticise the Bayern players but you over did it a little last night and just bashed them.
Let's call of the truce and be done with it. I dont wanna talk about this awful season anymore.
I don't know, you seem to be grasping at straws here. He is a bench player for Löw so that's just his way of saying: "see, it's better when you let me play."Maybe it was overconfidence. Look at the difference in attitude between Spain and Germany. The Spanish players and coach were humble to a fault.
The only thing i remember coming from the German camp was:
Also didn´t Reus say something to the effect of "our bench could have reach the semi´s"?
You guys talk of awful seasons, where getting to the Euro semi-finals and the CL final, and coming in 2nd in the league. I wish the USMNT and Liverpool could fail so horribly.
IMO, finishing 2nd in all competitions is much much worse than anything else.
Future captain:
NEUER
Clearly wanted it more than anyone.
Phantast2k said:Spain's not humble at all, neither was Italy
I just got a birthday card from Spurs in the post. That cheered me up a bit after reading that Villas-Boas is almost certainly going to be our new manager.
I thought you'd be pleased to get him as a manager?
IMO, finishing 2nd in all competitions is much much worse than anything else.
Oh come on. Take a look at that Chelsea dressing room. With all the big heads in there it's amazing people are able to breathe. AVB is a very good manager and deserves a shot at a normal club rather than freakin player run Chelsea. Watch Di Matteo get shafted if Chelsea don't win the trophies this season.Nah, I thought he was a dickhead at Chelsea. Hopefully it was just Terry and co rubbing off on him, because if that's how he tries to handle a normal dressing room the man is a moron.
I absolutely adore things like this. If there are any more, keep 'em coming.

Alles ist vorbei
(Today, 12:17 PM)
LOL, your rant paid off.
The only thing about AVB is that do you really see him doing better with the Spurs squad than Harry did? I understand they want him to ideally build a legacy there, but I just don't see him as a good fit for a club like Tottenham. I think Louis Van Gaal would be a keener pick as he's got a great reputation with spotting and utilizing young talent. Personality wise I think both of them are fully capable of disastrous dressing room fall-outs. Must be something to do with the tri-letter abbreviated names
At the moment, the world's best managers are tied down, though, and many arent interested in moving. Pep is set for a sabbatical in the US, Mourinho seems more intent than ever to make his mark on Real's history, Klopp is still honeymooning with Dortmund, Deschamps isn't looking as good as originally thought, Emery and Bielsa are keen to stay in Spain, Blanc has shown real weakness in handling the French NT, etc. Not too many to pick from right at this point in time.
yeah, I don't know about "paying off", I bet it's going to make it hard to participate in serious discussion now & I'm going to hear it a lot in football discussion (Alles ist vorbei, Alles ist vorbei)..
Kind of feels like
But I guess I deserve it for not keeping my cool.

Torna in auge il nome di Eduardo Salvio per il trasferimento al Benfica dell'attaccante argentino di proprietà dell'Atlético Madrid. Il giocatore, due anni fa al Da Luz col club lusitano, potrebbe fare ritorno nella Superliga sotto forte richiesta del tecnico Jorge Jesus. Il 21enne è attualmente in vacanza a Buenos Aires. La prossima settimana potrebbe riservare novità decisive per aprire un'eventuale trattativa formale. Il Benfica detiene tutt'ora il 20% dei diritti sportivi di Salvio, valutati intorno ai 2,5 milioni di euro, e potrebbe riscattare la parte rimanente per altri 5 milioni.

Oh I do hope for good news to come from this. If we bag both, that would be sublime. Then we'd need Debuchy and Anita, and I'd be content.
