Germany's Quest to Not Embarrass Itself, the WC26+NL24-25 Thread

The Dutch dropped points tonight. So we move clear at the top

 

Pretty good performance, 1-2 flattered Bosnia could easily have had another couple. Undav shows all the predatory instincts you need as a CF, and I liked some of the link up between him and Kleindienst. Burkardt impressed as well when he came on. It's funny because not long ago it's.likely none of those 3 would have been called up, and yet now we are seemingly more open to giving more players a chance and they are all showing they can contribute at NT level. Even missing Fullkrug, Havertz and Musiala we still looked quite fluent which is encouraging.

If we can win v Netherlands we are pretty much qualified.

 

Chris Führich will miss Monday's game against the Netherlands with a suspected muscle strain, Nagelsmann has confirmed [@dpa]

Chance to cap tie Leweling.

 

Undav should be a regular starter. Please,please, please ..no more KH7 as CF anymore.

 

Where can Nagglesman play Havertz as a starter if not 9?

I don't see him playing the CAM position.

Last night Undav got the headlines and rightfully, but he was playing off Tim kleindhienst who played the CF role brilliantly. Creating space, and showed strength and movement as a classic center forward. And it was Undav who was in the classic 10 position but playing off Tim and it worked brilliantly. I would stick with this with the possibility of musiala for Ganebry.

Ganebry Havertz Fuhrich Gruda sane Beier Fullkrug good bench options.

 

Gnabry has hardly been impressive as a sub in his career

 

Adeyemi over Sane, any day...

 

Good stuff. Good to have strength in depth, I like the way Naglesmann has clarity in selection and phylosophy, which makes it easy for any new comer coming into the side.

 

Leweling opens the scoreline. 1-0.

 

Yesssssssss. What a start. Fantastic move and a cracking finish.

 

Ruled offside.

 

And it's offside

 

Absolutely brilliant so far. We're tormenting the Dutch. Got to take our chances. No doubt in my mind, Pavlovic is the new Kroos

 

Big chance, Leweling should have put it the other side rather then where the defender was.

 

Dutch very sloppy.

 

Holy shit, we look terrible
