Which is this generation you're referring to? Germany has the lowest average age of all teams in Euro 2012, it seems to me the golden generation is what's to come. Not one single player in the starting eleven was older than 28, the success of your team has barely just begun. Özil, Neuer, Müller, Gomez, Khedira, Hummels, Reus, Boateng, Kroos, Götze, Schürrle and Badstuber all being 26 years old and less, now that's a golden generation about to happen.

Are you joking? No title |= amazing job lol! #3 in the World Cup and #2 in the last EURO is a distaster and no success! With this team even Loddar Matthäus would be able to get Top3 - so Löw is a really bad coach and I hope he gets fired soon.

You can't be serious.

This is ridiculous! Finishing third and second in the last two major tournaments is "a disaster"? Which world are you living in? -.-

It just so happens to be that Spain has an incredibely strong team, but that does not in any way lessen the performance of the German one, and losing two times 0-1 to them, thats not like an unequivocal 0-3. With a little luck and good daily form everything is possible!

Go Germany

Germany are superb in every position except centre forward. Klose's a bit past it and has never been great in the build but obviously he's always had that knack of scoring loads of gold without looking particularly good. Gomez is too immobile and bottles it on the big occasions.

If you had a Klinsmann, Bierhoff, Muller or even a Klose of 8 years ago you'd be unstoppable.

maybe reuss would do an awesome job, he is quite young and inexpierenced but he has power and is willing to fight, with gomez i have to agree, he can score pretty well but most of the time he is not inegrated into the game, and he has big tendencys to throw away 100% chances

Nah, Gomez is pretty good

It just depends on the passes he gets
The last game Müller / Podolski / Özil played just bad passes / crosses if there were any at all
Same with Lewandowski and other world class forwards, it's not only Gomez
In the 4-5(2-3)-1 system the center forward is really dependant

Gomez is really good at what he does, I'm just not sure what he does is what Germany needs.

He's never good when it really matters though. I'm sure he's great at scoring in the Bundesliga but he is consistantly awful in these major tournaments and against big teams in the Champions League.

Gomez had chances to score 2-3 goals last game and he took one of them. Not to mention that Ozil/Podolski/Muller can only supply whatever movement their striker gives them and Gomez gives very little movement. Klose looked better than him by a mile when he came on.

With the creativity and passing of a midfield six of Podolski, Ozil, Schweinsteiger, Khedira and Muller there's no way you can complain about service. He has the 2nd/3rd best (after Spain and maybe Holland) support cast in the world behind him, if he has the movement to find space they're going to make chances for him. Unfortunately he doesn't have that movement and has a bad habit of missing chance after chance on the big stage.

Gomez isn't a terrible striker by any means but he's not a great or world class one either and the real world class strikers of the world like Rooney, Messi, Aguero, Tevez, Ronaldo, Villa, Eto'o, Van Persie, Falcao, Ibrahimovic would score for fun in this German team.

That is basically what quite a number of people think. And I agree with them.

I don't get what happened this year. Gomez has always been mediocre at best during international tournaments.
