How is it the best centre back in the Premiership can't get in the French team!?!? #Strange #Kos #Gooner

I was tempted to post this earlier lol

Sakho was really bad

dropping Sagna was a bigger mistake though. Debuchy is shit. I want Aurier.

Griezmann looked like he just got word they had to put his dog down. Poor guy.

The rest of the squad looked like they gave no fucks. Ready for their two week holiday before returning to training.
 
Catalan press reporting suspect fees is nothing alike?

Suspect as in making it up to reflect well for Barca? The Nerman contract wasn't something they could have known and Barca's club members did not know either. One of the club members launched an investigation and the judge ordered them to inform everyone of the real price.

There would have to be another scandal for the situations to be alike.

Maybe the Catalan press are telling lies to reflect well on Barca, we don't know. It's certainly possible. That doesn't mean the Nerman transfer is an example of that though.

Sakho was fine until he had a ten minute period where he kept fucking up before he got subbed off. Needs to cut that lack of composure out of his game, a centreback is useless if he dwells on his mistakes and they lead to further mistakes

Great game by Hummels,Neuer,Boateng.

Decent ~ good game by Schweinsteiger,Höwedes,Lahm,Müller.

The rest wasn't that good.

Especially Khedira was shitty, but Löw sucks and still let's him play through.

#GER ran 7.5km more than #FRA. amazing stat, considering they were leading for 78 mins (via @dogfood)

that's pretty damning

also, France really lacked creativity. no natural 10 player, cunt Nasri would've probably helped there. or play Benzema deeper with another striker. but this system didn't really work, another limp exit from a tournament.

Muller wasn't very good. Missed an easy chance. Didn't even connect with the ball. Was on the ground yelling at the ref a lot.
 
Look at the difference between the way the French players playing for Algeria played and the way the ones playing for France played. There is surely something rotten in the French national setup that accounts for such a blatant lack of basic effort

Nasri is the epitome of a player not giving a fuck

He was running like a horse in the end when Klose was out, so I'll give him that.

Özil played some decent passes later on, still not the right position for him with a CB as LB as backup.

I had assumed Ribery before, but he wasn't even there.

Benzema, innit.

Agreed. Klose showed why he is now a sub.

The tactic isn't working for him, there's no real connection between the middlefield and him.

With 3 more or less defensive midfield players like Khedira,Schweinsteiger and Kroos, there's clearly someone missing.
