Norway vs Scotland on Saturday. Essentially a must-win for us. Technically we're not out with a draw, but then we might just have to win the remaining 5 matches (including home vs Spain and away vs Scotland). If we lose, then we're potentially out even winning every remaining game.

With a win however, stuff is wide open.

Tough match up. Unlucky that Scotland won from Spain but you'd probably have to beat Scotland anyway to qualify.

edit: Also draw against Georgia is not enough. Really need to beat the other teams to qualify.

Not having haaland for the first two games was a massive blow, especially considering the chances that were squandered. Even the 0-3 vs Spain was honestly a game where we should've had a point. So even though the results were poor I'm still cautiously optimistic, because our team is legitimately good, and I think 5 wins from the remaining 6 games is totally possible.

So US leads Mexico 3-0 then guess what happens? Mexico fans start throwing bottles etc, attacking USMNT players, then start chanting homophobic slurs and the Refs call the game early. Now imagine this happens during the WC...

Alessia Russo is going to be leaving Manchester United Women on a free transfer. It's kinda ridiculous that they couldn't get a deal over the line, but that's the risk you take when you don't accept a world record transfer fee in the January transfer window...

I went to see the "lowlights" of the match and it was definitely worth watching. The ref is atrocious too lmao

I didn't watch the game, but looks like the same problem they had in the WC: No striker.

Poland won 1-0 but Germany had 76% possession, and 26 shots (9 on target) vs 2 shots (1 on target).

I only watched the first half and the first few minutes of the second, and during that first half, there was no Germany for more than a couple of minutes and a few irrelevant long shots. Poland was in control of that match in the first 45.

With the terrible coach they (Poland) have, obviously started the second half playing like he loves parking....and germany started really hot but inconsequential (that kimmich left foot bomb should have gone in tho).

Who? I think Füllkrug was the only German striker with more than 0.5 goals per game (getting 0.57) last season from any of the top 5 leagues. I'm not disagreeing that he could get more play time but even if they fielded him I'd still think the striker position was their weakest.

Berisha from Augsburg
Füllkrug and Berisha are not world class but both are way better than Havertz as a 9 and good enough to beat Ukraine and Poland.

I used to rate Flick but hes been so bad all of 2022 and 2023

I don't disagree with fielding fullkrug over havertz but Germany would still have a pretty big striker problem if they did. In France I'm not sure he makes the top 10, and he is far behind their top 5.

I just don’t think Flick has the time to get them playing in the manner his Bayern did. The international game and the club game have a more divergent skillset in terms of coaching than they ever have really.

It’s why I’m pretty confident that a Zidane or a Mourinho will have more success if they make the switch eventually, much more than I’d have in Guardiola or Klopp if they did.

If you don’t have the time to drill your boys into executing your signature gameplans, that’s a huge part of your skillset rendered mostly useless.

Why I think England fans are generally mad to want to dispense with Southgate, he’s not without flaws but he is good at the English job and its specific demands. The inter-club rivalries that players from the ‘Golden generation’ have spoken a lot about, not a thing. The camp is a happy one, the relationship between players and media, players and fans is better than I ever recall it.

Would his deficiencies be ruthlessly exposed in club football? Absolutely, but he’s a pretty good fit for that particular gig

Honestly, at this point I would expect Moukoko to be the German A-team striker in <2 years. Simply because of the lack of any other viable options.

Like I said Berisha from Augsburg - that guy scored 9 goals in 23 games in a club most people have never heard of in this thread. thats bonkers numbers
