Yo i cant bet my sig now as much as i would like to but like i said. If Zidane stays Benzema stays and it is very likely Zidane stays with how Barca are right now in La Liga. He will get an offer from MLS or China i think be too good to refuse i don't know. Morata plus one is how i would play them but who knows Real and Barca are hella stupid in how they work transfer wise xD

As long as Ajax can hold onto Dolberg for another year, I'll be happy.

Having a corner and then passing the ball back to our goalkeeper without the opponent touching the ball is still one of our favorite tactical tricks it seems.
Anyway, glad we are winning a friendly, but really, even I stopped caring about them for quite a time now.

I'm gonna quote myself


Naah. You need a finisher. But a real badass one. Not like Müller. (Thomas Müller (7 games) has played more Euro games for #GER without scoring or assisting than any other striker.)

Someone like... Podolski...


Podolski is a weird player. He disappears 60 minutes. Then scores the impossible. Then disappears again. LOL

Germany already have one of the best (if not THE best) midfields of tournament. But bad performances from Schürrle and Müller putting Germany behind. I think Löw should use him, especially when in dire need of goals


Damn.... Even Germans called him "Mascot".. A mascot with a bazoooka on his left foot. Oh just incase you missed it:

Podolski lol. What a way to sign off, by scoring your signature goal.

I like trigger happy players. You miss all the shots you don't shoot. Arsenal and Chelsea both need more of such players.

Only one of the the best forward line in history = stupid transfers. Meanwhile some teams sell their players to other teams only to buy them back for twice as much.

Wow so happy to see Podolski score the winning goal in his very last game in the German national team.
I have always loved that guy. He keeps the locker room happy and is a good football player with a world class left leg. One of Wenger's mistakes of letting him go.

England outplayed Germany the whole game tbf, the first shot from Germany was the Podolski goal. England's stupid ass shitty Spurs players were the reason we weren't 3-0 by that time. Not bad anyway, we played 3 at the back for the first time without Stones in it??? And it was very successful also Jake Livermore was the best in the midfield we had, won the ball back and played it off very well. Dier on the other hand makes no sense to how the guy is a professional footballer let alone playing for England!

We also were throwing lots of crosses into the box to Vardy which confused me also, maybe if we had Carroll in the box for that we would have had some chances haha! Still after the goal Germany were creating lots of chances from then on but until that goal was only looking like one winner.

Yeah that pretty much summed up the game to be fair. But for once it wasn't all doom and gloom and the only way this England team will work in the future is with a back 3 so thats a start too.

There are still 6 matchdays to be played. Yes it is an important match that I would surely watch if it wasnt for the time difference, but we are nowhere near a must-win-situation for either of these teams yet.

Nice for Argentina and Messi, that was a game they couldn't afford to draw/lose.
To go back to the Benzema topic, I don't know what you guys are on about. It's famous that he's the president's favourite. It's not even about Zidane (although it helps a bit too). Morata is Spanish, so some fans would prefer him, but he's yet to prove he can be as good as Benzema. There's no reason Benzema would leave, even for China, he's in one of the best teams in the world and he's not too old yet. And no one will kick him out.

I don't even like the guy nor the team, and I think he fits perfectly into that system with 2 great scorers like Ronaldo and Bale. The only way I could see him benched for good is if Ronaldo starts playing more like a 9 because he's getting old. Even then, Benzema has the skills to play on the side.
