(but look, Germany conceded the 2nd against Austria just after Sane was subbed out for Reus. Feels like scapegoating...) I'm pretty sure that this decision wasn't just based on the Austria game, so I'm definitely not scapegoating here. The thing is there wasn't a single good game of him for our NT so far. Seeing him play for our NT feels like watching a foreign body in our game. He just doesn't fit in. It probably didn't help that he didn't go to the Confed Cup where he would have started every game because of a non-urgent nose operation. The thing with Brandt is he always gives it his all unlike Sane and can if necessarily be a backup for Müller on the RW while Sane is pretty much solely a LW at this point. So i think it's both: about Sane being shit for us and not always giving it his all and also about Brandt having some qualities which Sane doesn't have | ||

In my experience (for what its worth) the sort of errr... engagement to the lunacy is amusing at first, it will eventually just becoming exhaustively exasperating.. because everything you point out will return progressively incoherent and contradictory commentary. | ||

Something incoherent and contradictory? Pointing out Uruguay's World Cup success reasons, while ignoring the same reasons when using their old success in Copa America to compare Germany with Brazil in continentals (whilst if he wanted a fair base of comparison, he would have used Brazil results AFTER the Euros started, in which no one was more successful than Brazil - for me that is the delusional lunatic). | ||

Beautiful music lol. FIFA is obviously very clean and Colombia were very deserving of the FAIR PLAY award in 2014... Just like Messi deserved the Golden Adidas (which NOT EVEN his daddy BLATTER was able to defend lolol) PS: And I'm not saying anything, the video is. + Show Spoiler + | ||

I think it's good, because scousers get fined :D was 24/26 tests they did on him confirmed he was concussed, so i think that is very bad. Liverpool medical staff didn't even check him and he was on floor in pain. Very bad all round. Some fines be past on | ||

I'm no expert obviously but in the US they seem much better adapt in dealing with concussions. Unsurprising given its a regular occurrence in 2 out of 4 of the major sports and is not uncommon in the other 2 either. The rules are incredibly tight. Then again its often stuff like this, so doesnt take a rocket scientist to notice. + Show Spoiler + | ||

I also do recall him being more annoyed and peeved when he got hit, rather than showing any obvious signs of spatial whatever that was. It probably hurt and got drowned out by adrenaline and the moment but the prognosis seems a bit much. It certainly could go some way to dampening the heat on Karius, and that seems to be the most important thing. + Show Spoiler + and conversely make people hate Ramos even more.

It's definitely possible to a) not realize you're concussed and b) to not have symptoms like dizzyness , the fencing stance etc..., depending on how hard and where you were hit. Both more so if you're under adrenaline. I'm curious about this, too, though, in regards to the doctor and if they try to shift the blame. Just saying that medically speaking it's well in the realm of possibility what the report is claiming. Source: Had this happening to me once (Kickboxing) and saw a video of it. I was totally looking normal but after the impact I clearly had a blind spot to the right and made some really dumb calls. | ||

Doesn't he help in pain after he is hit and on the floor then the medic staff come over, surely there is signs. I don't know maybe it isn't. Still every player will want to play with a concussion it has happened before that is why this rule came into play and it was due to goalkeepers as well. I say "rule" but it is a thing in England at least. | ||

If they did stop and check him I dono what the protocols are tbh, so I couldnt say whether they should have noticed it or not. | ||

The Kangaroos are doing fine it's obvious that we're way better than Brazil because we are the reigning champions of the Asian cup while Brazil never even made it to the final. Go suck an egg! ...Btw It all makes sense now, I was looking at the WC groups and stared in shock as I saw Australia there in group C lol. I thought you were joking at first but it's actual real, good decision to play Asians although you are not Asian instead of losing to Peru!  | ||
