Come on Richarlison, you don't need to flop like that to beat Pieper...as you've already shown
E:
See, 3-0.
E:
See, 3-0.
Not a terrible result considering how awful we were for the first 30 minutes & the soft second yellow to Arnold.
The good:
- Müller in goal & with the ball on his foot.
- Amiri & Raum both had good games and gave us something to build around when the team got its s*** together.
- defense looked a lot better in a back 3; Torunarigha & Uduokhai should both be locks to start.
- while Stach looked good as the 3rd CB...though he may be needed in the midfield.
- Max looked good in the 2nd half...when he started dropping between the lines to collect the ball & start doing his thing.
- Happy for Ache, if Jakobs & Dorsch hadn't pulled out after their transfers, he wouldn't even be there.
The bad:
- Arnold was anonymous for much of the match other than picking up two soft cards.
- Maier grew into the game but struggled to make much of an impact; he needs to be better.
- similar story for Richter, looked better in the 2nd half than the 1st, but ultimately a peripheral figure.
The ugly:
- Rough night for Pieper. He really struggled to keep up with Richarlison & Cunha, while give the ball away cheaply.
- Even worse 1st half from Henrichs; who improved in the 2nd half, but still struggled...and I think I'd rather see Richter play RWB, with Henrichs providing depth at outside CB & in the midfield.
When Arnold returns I'm thinking:
Teuchert
Amiri - Kruse
Raum - Arnold - Maier - Richter
'righa - Uduokhai - Stach
Müller
No-one cares about the Olympics...
I mean the players who flew to Japan and went through all the Covid protocols surely do.
I know. It was a joke given cgf made several posts telling me why it's irrelevant that Germany is sending a tiny and crappy squad to the tournament because no-one cares, and yet there he is watching the game and making lengthy posts about it.
Not trying to be a dick, but you lot are actually watching Olympic football? I tuned into it last summer games and it was dreadful to watch.
not really but only because of the time of day it has been on, and I don't really care enough to watch replaysNot trying to be a dick, but you lot are actually watching Olympic football? I tuned into it last summer games and it was dreadful to watch.
its why i stopped betting a long time ago
Which is hilarious because I found myself watching it today lol (Japan vs South Africa). Most definitely boring, but I wouldn't say it was unwatchable. Yeah I get the problems we face on the NA with the time zones, they were all replays as Bluesfan mentioned. I'll probably cheque out more matches when I have free time though.It's a youth tourney, like other youth tourneys I don't watch for the quality of football. I watch to see these kids in a different environment/context than I see them at their clubs...if kids like Müller, Uduokhai, Torunarigha, Maier, Stach, & Raum weren't on the team, I probably wouldn't be watching.
...though I might just for Kruse
