Yeah Austria game was pretty mediocre. Good for us, Poles >.<
We have a swine flu epidemy, so I hope we can perform today, despite few of our core players being ill (rumors says that Piatek will play since 1st minute - and that's a good news).

Also Germany vs Netherlands today

This German team confuses hell out of me lol. Some form of 3-4-3 without a recognized striker with Reus and Werner on the bench 0.o

I wonder what exactly happened? Since I never watched bundesliga.

Even if you watched Bundesliga, you wouldn't have seen Sanches last season. He was loaned to the Premier League. But got benched there for most of the season. Got only 12 apps with 700 minutes over a full PL season at Swansea.

Surely it's all Bayerns fault and he is such a great player :D

Losing in final minutes to Germany.. Thats a classic

I liked how we played though. So many cool combinations and great work ethic. Defense not really up on the level they reach at clubs.

Seems like Löw revitalized the team a lot though. Not sure any of the big 3 he banned were missed today

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't think Löw had it in him to revamp this team, but I am impressed. Not only did he replace the old guard, he also did a 180 tactics wise, going away from possesion based football into a faster, more explosive kind of playstyle. The game could have gone either way obviously, and I'm not convinced that Ginter/Süle/Rüdiger is the best back 3 we have available, but the overall direction is a positive one.

Well whole game De Ligt and Van Dijk were very poor, maybe a one off bad game who knows, but if you defend like that vs England's front 3 in June it be more than 3!

Can't believe how weird of a game that was, Germany first half just breezed into a 2-0 deservedly so and caused nightmares for Netherlands, for second half a flip reverse with Germany not being able to get hold of the ball at all and Netherlands freely attacking. Low finally makes changes, brings on Reus for <4 minutes and within 60 seconds he breaks free down the left and picks out Schultz perfectly.

Sane did look magic first half though, City literally embarrassing the world with Sterling and Sane out wide right now, damn.

Sane strong in first half yes but you also saw how weak he can be in the second half.

Impact reus had was incredible

He was playing as a striker though in some stupid weird Low crazy formation. So he scores plus points for that as well.

Our new offense is so much better now: Speed, control, creation.
Defense has a lot of work ahead still

It was nice to see we are not that far behind, despite that the break happened just so recent. By the time Euro 20 starts we should be a top 5 team again

I don't think there is a single team in Europe that's really ahead. Everybody is rebuilding apart from France, Belgium and maybe England. The former not playing great football, and the other 2 with a few weaknesses. The Euro should be fun, after a most likely boring groupstage.

I guess if Spain will stop sucking after being terrible in two worlcups and one eurocup, all of them in a row. They don't have to win the whole thing, but it would be nice if they reach QF or SF against a good rival and they give a good image.

France for me will have a disaster in Euro 2020 due to fact the "falling out" with eachother has already started again. Laporte has already been banned from the squad as Deschamps says his attitude is wrong. This is the same guy who for Man City has been their best CB and Pep is training him? So that be fun to watch
