EPTOkay to be fair thats been a problem for both Wingers , Müller isn't playing well either, but I have no idea why Löw is keeping him in for 90 minutes. At least try out the other options he has, its not like Podolski is irreplacable. The only thing I can think of is that Podolski has experience , knows the system and is less of a liability defensivly than the other options (I am not really sure about that one either)

He has the football IQ of a 3 year old and doesn't play to his strengths this tournament either. Vs Holland I honestly wasn't sure if he was even playing.

and there is also a difference in generel appearance on the field. Black looks dominant, it stands out and makes it look like there are more german players on the field then the other team does have. The green on the other hand vanishes, because it blends with the green of the ground alot. While you could argument that this would help to overlook certain players i don't think that would happen  these mental and psychological aspects of colors may be not that big but it is existant nevertheless. Imo there is only one argument against black and that would be getting too hot in the sun but since all games take place later in the evening i don't really see a problem there.I wish we would have a golden shirt with black letters/numbers. I remember barca playing in gold and it looked awesome, its just such a seldom color (a LOT of teams play in red f.e. because its the most common color in national flaggs) and yeah you could design awesome jerseys with that. But why green ?  | ||

Not that we're not grateful for your existance. You buying away jerseys helps the DFB a great deal. They make them for people like you to buy. Just please accept your place and refrain from voicing your opinion. Thank you. very offensive way to describe someone who follows Bundesliga, Champions League and watches all games off all WC and EC since my existence (but i don't share your arrogance towards normal fans that just enjoy WCs and Euros). But yeah, i'm a designer and i just hate the looks of it. I hated it back then and i hate it now. So does it make me a hipster and someone without any form of valuable oppinion if i actually have a sense of good looking fashion and design, yes? In my oppinion the green looks ugly and alot more hipster and retro then anything else. I know the history of the green pretty well and i was glad that they've changed it. The sole reason we are not winning anything atm is that stupid admiration of spanish football which is ofcourse awesome to watch but everytime Germany faced Spain we stood there and watched them play with awe. Schweinsteiger is a prime example of this trend of abjection. This is easly the best german team since a long long time and maybe even the best we ever had from a technical standpoint. But they won't win against Spain or anything if they don't overcome this attitude. The green shirt won't change that. And actually i give a shit about traditions especially if they are hurting my eyes so badly. And IF there should be any tradition it's the colors of the german revolution in 1848 which sparked the first try of democracy on german ground and their colors were black/red/gold not white/green. PS: i have a home kit too btw, i just find myself wearing the black one more often because it suits me better then the white one. And guess what? All of the people always tell me that it looks awesome. Why? Because it looks dangerous and elegant at the same time. Not "honkey ponkey iam the green troll that waits behind the rainbow". PPS: just found out that if we do not lose against denmark, we will be considered home team till the finals so we won't see that jersey anyway only if we reach the finals (depending on the other team ofc) ... a good thing :D | ||

Green for germany is sooo awkward, and not everything that was done in the past was right. Seriously, i have no real problem with the white but just look at those wierdo's in a black, white (red, gold) fanblock that wear a green shirt. It is just stupid. Do you realize that there is no orange in the flag of netherlands? nobody will ever they "oh that orange does look so stupid" because orange is just their way of life. the green has a lot of tradition for germany, i don't see a problem there To be honest, the jerseys could look better, but not because of the colors. i like the swedish away shirt with the yellow stripe a lot more than ours. | ||

We used to have orange instead of red and it's thE colour of our royal family so that's a bit of a weird example. | ||
