He was shit.

anyways, my point isn't that Ox can't be a good player, only that his position isn't playing in the middle of the park. just like how Ramsey's position wasn't as a 10 or on the wing or at fullback.

We've got far too small of a sample size to say that.

Official Italy World Cup squad

Rossi

 

[=GabrielKnight=]

I'm sorry for Rossi
Prandelli should have brought him aniway, I'm sure he would have done great

 

[Zabojnik]

Fuck off Prandello, you dumb mother fucker.

In Prandelli's defence, he didn't seem anywhere near ready yesterday. But yeah, gutted for him.

Sauce?

Prandelli.

Rossi and Destro are out, Insigne is in. I really like Insigne, but he's hardly a proper striker.

 

[wedward]

Right. He currently looks better on the wing but I see no reason he can't play in the middle.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Chamberlain is only 20.

And missed a long time out because of injury.

Cliche but young players need time.

I think Arsenal got the balance of their squad bit wrong though in that they have maybe a few too many players who "need time". They can't all get it simultaneously. So it kind of becomes counter productive - if that makes sense.

Chamberlain is good though, I think. Very talented player.

 

[il Diavolo]

Rossi and Destro are out, Insigne is in. I really like Insigne, but he's hardly a proper striker.

Verratti, Immobile, Insigne. All three former Pescara starlets going to the world cup. Crazy what can happen in a couple of years.

 

[Elchele]

Chamberlain would be better if he was still at Southampton tho. Moving to Arsenal is basically turning your body into glass

 

[Gambit]

Germany is playing against Cameroon with this formation:

Weidenfeller
Boateng - Mertesacker - Hummels - Durm
Khedira - Kroos
Müller - Özil - Reus
Götze

I hope this is the last time we are forced to play Boateng as RB. Apart from that it's not too far from how I want us to play at the World Cup.

But I doubt I'll watch the game. Mario Kart beckons again

Do you somehow think your football knowledge is superior to Wengers? Wenger played Ramsey on the wing to improve his close control and transitions from attack to defending. It payed off.

 

[Clegg]

I remember a certain section of United fans clamouring for Ronaldo to be sold in his third season for us. Players take time to develop and Ox has shown enough to be persisted with.

Germany is playing a friendly against Cameroon:

poor Boateng. If he plays well, Löw will surely use him as the RB in Brazil and play Lahm in midfield. If he doesnt, he'll most likely lose his place at CB.

dat attack though! replace Özil with Schürrle and you have the best front 4 of all teams in Brazi

 

[Hixx]

Even the refs don't want Jozy to score.

I can't wait to see the US play that team.

as dumb as it sound but I fear that match. I bet Klinsi' stil got a couple of tricks up his sleeve against us.

You're more clever than I. I had to type it all.

Yes, it's a difficult situation for Boateng. He has earned his place as CB, I think, but he has the bad fortune of also being somewhat ok as RB. But the position never does him any favours.

as dumb as it sound but I fear that match. I bet Klinsi' stil got a couple of tricks up his sleeve against us.

Really? I am more afraid of Klinsmann's son's tweets than the US team

Schurrle ahead of Ozil? What?

I think that attack will massacre the US.

 

[fuenf]

Schurrle ahead of Ozil? What?

no Götze would take Özil's place and Schürrle would be the false 9 (constantly switching with Müller and Reus)

Müller - Götze - Reus
------Schürrle----------

 

[Gambit]

a real Özil right at the beginning

 

[3Sixty]

lolol Ozil

 

[fuenf]

a real Özil right at the beginning

Wenger / the Arsenal move fucked him up big time, a couple of years ago he would've passed the ball either to his right OR left und Reus / Götze would've had an easy goal.

his move did wonders for Madrid though

 

[fuenf]

What insight.

like I already said in the CL final's thread. I'm new to the sport of football, pls excuse my inexcerience and lack of knowledge....

his move did wonders for Madrid though

it sure did. but to be fair Khedira's injury and Mkitharyan/ Bayern also helped a lot.

 

[wedward]

Gotze....

 

[The_Hitcher89]

The fuck is Mbia's problem?


Khedira is dreadful

 

[3Sixty]

"Alot of French league influence on this Cameroon side. Some of the players are even talking to each other in French!"


LOOOOOOOOOL

Pls kill me.

/dead

 

[Gambit]

Khedira is dreadful

yes. I am not a fan of his on his best days, but with a form like this he should not play at the World Cup

 

[Infernostew]

Even the refs don't want Jozy to score.

He handled the ball on the goaline anyway.

 

[spidye]

Put schürlle instead of ozil in the starting formation and this german team could win the cup

 

[Elchele]

only Gundogan could make Germany win a WC

England winning it would be hilarious. We wouldn't know how to react

 

[wedward]

Germany don't look impressive at all.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Sakho time

 

[Hieberrr]

Poor finishing in the final third.

 

[Xpike]

Germany don't look impressive at all.

Neither side does right now.

[Blablurn]

özil is so bad. imagine your team would have paid 50m for him :lol

 

[wedward]

Cameroon aren't a favorite.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Gotze ain't all dat

 

[wedward]

Who made that pass to Reus?

 

[CelticKnight]

Germany don't look impressive at all.

It's all part of the master plan. Discount them at your peril.

That said, seeing a German national spectacularly underachieve at a World Cup would make a change...

 

[Salvadora]

This side certainly doesn't look an Ozil substitution away from winning the World Cup.

 

[Kenka]

Dschörrmani not good at all tonight.

I agree about Schürrle being in the starting line-up.

EDIT : HOLY SHIT WEIDENFELLER

 

[Blablurn]

dat etoo

 

[wedward]

"what does Gotze have to do to be on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi?"

Gundogan for Kroos pls.

This side certainly doesn't look an Ozil substitution away from winning the World Cup.

Playing with 10 men would be better than playing with Ozil.

 

[Gambit]

This side certainly doesn't look an Ozil substitution away from winning the World Cup.

No, an Özil, Lahm, Neuer (this one is for Milch), substitution.

But honestly, GermanLöw will never win.

EDIT: Maybe Kramer for Khedira

 

[Xpike]

Alright that was a really good play by Cameroon

 

[wedward]

Kroos Khedira is dire.
