The team's offense is an absolute embarrassment. I continue to believe that Germany won the WC in spite of Löw as coach, not because of him. We're still playing a boring, slow, directionless game that is purely based on possession and doesn't have any true CF's in it.
Everything that is wrong with Germany is based on the offense. The defense is only mediocre, but it isn't terrible. If we actually had an offensive game that was worth mentioning, then the lack of pace in the defense wouldn't matter because we're able to possess the ball and create so many chances that we'd be too far ahead for it to matter."
Slightly later, still before the EC, you wrote;
"German defense is utter trash and German attack is weak. Combine that with Löw (who I still think only won the WC in spite of his managing) and this team is going to disappoint, badly."
During it, you wrote :"It's because Löw isn't a good coach. I've been saying it for years, but both his tactics and selections are lacking."
After they lost, you wrote 'I hope that Low is finally fired for this shit. Such a terrible performance and it definitely isn't due to the quality of players in Germany.' - that was after the fifth consecutive semi final appearance in an EC/WC.
You've been extremely critical of him for as long as I can remember. To be fair, you've also substantiated your criticism of him on several occasions, some of it I feel is very legitimate, and you did give him credit for initially improving their game. But I also think your criticism has on occasion been really excessive and not warranted, and I think overall, he has done a fantastic job since taking charge.
I actually didn't remember that at all and a I did a quick search and couldn't find anything, but I'm not surprised that I predicted that. Although to be fair, I did predict a Germany win just prior to the WC this summer (look how it turns out when I tried to have faith in my team).
Looking up the history, I actually predicted that because our offense did look awful; looking at the qualifiers and friendlies prior to EURO 16 we were relatively toothless, even against minnow teams. I don't see anything wrong with those statements, as the team did look questionable and we've had the exact same problem for years and Low hasn't fixed it. I called for Low's firing, they didn't move on from him, and look at what happened? Pretty much the most embarrassing year for the national team in 30 years and the single worst tournament performance in living memory. I don't see how any of this disproves what I'm saying.
As for the WC, we had to go to extra time against Algeria, France looked like the better team for the vast majority of that game, and Argentina also looked like the more threatening team for most of the game. It's absolutely true that the results over the past 10 years have been consistent (if not convincing), but as I said before, that isn't an excuse for the future.

he felt bad for the translator who has to translate both the question AND the long-ass english answer he provided at once.
meanwhile
rumours are 150k (up to 195k with performance bonuses) pounds a week. fuck my life.
|
195k pounds per week? WTF
That is a huge amount for an above average player.
|
For comparison, Kane, Salah, Hazard and De Gea are around £200k according to some Business Insider article that came up in google.
Out of Utd, Lukaku, Pogba and Sanchez are all in top 5 earners in PL.

Bernat made many crucial mistakes in UCL. First goal from Barca 3-0 Bayern is another example. If Bayern have to buy/sell anyone then only because of UCL performance.
All Bayern players are totally "lost the plot" since may (few weeks at bundesliga start is the only one exception).

How do we say "make Bayern great again" in German?

Well the way to fix Bayern is clearly to make Wenger the new manager on 1st January 2019 isn't it.

His stock probably went up a bit after scoring 5 goals in tonight's bundesliga match.

Probably the United States first ever Club with F U money.
[TNT Sports] Reports out of Argentina say that Atlanta United officials met with River Plate officials yesterday in Recoleta, Buenos Aires and officially sealed the move for Pity Martinez for his termination clause (a little over $17 million)

Looks like betting on Utd win gives you 5x multiplier on some sites. I don't think I've ever seen them having such bad odds.
