World Cup: National Team threads

[NHL Dude 120]

Starting 11 for Germany vs france

 

[cgf]

Oh Jogi. Khedira starting when Ilkay is in the lineup? Ozil on the wing? Draxler ahead of Sane / Brandt / Muller / Reus? Sule ahead of Boateng & Kimmich? Can at RB ahead of Kimmich, Weiser, Henrichs, etc.? What an idiotic lineup.

Khedira should come off for Stindl, Draxler for Sane, Plattenhart for Kimmich and Brandt for Can.

Stindl - Werner
Mesut
Sane - Kroos - Ilkay - Brandt
Sule - Hummels - Kimmich​

 

[Bon Esprit]

It's funny, all you hear is the french fans. Embarrassing.

 

[cgf]

Hey the french almost crafted a chance...if Sule weren't such a stud.

 

[YNWA14]

Memphis with another goal for the NT today. Too bad he went to United when he did. I think it hurt him and the Dutch team.

Memphis hurts Memphis.

He thought he was Ronaldo when he signed for United.

It'll happen again when someone comes calling after a string of good play.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Werner scores set up by Özil.

 

[Live in the Now]

Great goal by McKennie against Portugal. Maybe the US should have called some of these players up sooner...

 

[Savant]

Werner scores set up by Özil.

Werner reminds me so much of the Liverpool version of Fernando Torres

 

[Savant]

Howler from Horvath let’s Portugal tie it.

Let’s get Steffen in there when the Crew are out

 

[Savi]

Howler from Horvath let’s Portugal tie it.

Great.. he's already lost the #1 job at Club Brugge because of his many mistakes

 

[Bon Esprit]

The french are up 2:1 now. Two of the best teams in the world right now.

 

[Evilo]

Hey the french almost crafted a chance...if Sule weren't such a stud.

Wow, Martial made your statement look pretty bad....

Anyway, french backups with a decent performance, mostly in the first half.
3 starters and a bunch of backups didn't give me much hope before the game.

 

[Bon Esprit]

It's okay the french sining their song, but german fans in Cologne are embarrassing tonight.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Stindl actually

That's a good comp for Timo.

Stindl < 3

 

[YNWA14]

Reading Joe Gomez has been England's standout again.

 

[Live in the Now]

Yeah, it's too bad he has to play RB for us. He would be a starting player at CB easily given our lack of quality. Will be 20 when the season's over too. Also will be on the England plane to Russia.

 

[YNWA14]

Wouldn't be surprised if he was already our best CB tbh. As much as it might be too bad he has to play RB for us it's also a way to get him a lot of gametime because I doubt that Klopp would be starting him over Matip/Lovren/Klavan right now rightly or wrongly.

 

[Evilo]

That Wagner guy is quite a thug.

 

[Baxterman]

The same Joe Gomez that wears number 12 for Liverpool?

Hard to believe he has been a standout at anything considering how awful he is.

 

[YNWA14]

Joe Gomez MotM in the England/Brazil game. Nice for the lad.

 

[cgf]

That Wagner guy is quite a thug.

He actually usually isn't much of a thug, considering just how big & strong he is. But that was an ugly bodycheck from him today.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Reading Joe Gomez has been England's standout again.

He wasn't England's standout in the first game. But I think he fits very well in a back three. The youth Southgate has added have been great. Winks, RLC and Gomez have been England's last three MOTM's.

You have some weird vendetta against Liverpool.

And yes the same joe Gomez you are talking about it.
