Who picked Xhaka ahead of Sommer?

Quite hypocritical of you especially with that french flag. Please don't add any more donkey manure to this thread. Get your facts straight.
Some weaknesses identified in Germany I think. They need to make some changes to the line-up....get Kroos playing higher up instead of so deep in midfield and put Schweinsteiger where Kroos was. I'd take Gotze out and I wouldn't mind seeing how Gomez looks in place as a true target striker. It was comical seeing some of their crosses into the box targeting Gotze. Something needs to be done about RB as well, Howedes had no real support and maybe Schweinsteiger would help there or just putting Boateng to RB and putting Hummels in the middle.
Loew's pretty rigid so he won't make the changes till they lose or something but the team didn't have the same chemistry with the ball and they were pretty disorganized when Ukraine did attack.

Mustafi out right and Hummels as CB will be a world of good in and of itself.
Goetze out for Gomez, have him come on as a sub for Ozil or Mueller.
Schweini can feature, maybe, but he's deliriously out of shape so I dunno where he'd fit in - the only unmovables as I see them are Neuer, Hector, Boateng, Mustafi, Kroos, Ozil and Mueller. Leaving the spots of Howedes, Khedira, Draxler and Goetze up for some tinkering.

Those innocent polish fans are clearly victims.
Get your facts straight indeed

Srna's father has passed away. Darijo has left the camp and returned to Croatia.
That's sad to hear.
Fantastic free-kick attempt by Srna, just struck the bar. One of the few highlights of that horribly boring smash-fest.
Modric volley was beautiful, even though I thought Volkan could have done better.

Muller should be playing striker, not RM. Gotze is NOT a natural ST and it was very obvious.
Muller
Gotze - Ozil - Schweini
Khedira - Kroos
Hector - Hummels - Boateng - Mustafi
Neuer
Around 30 german hooligans have attacked Ukranian fans in Lille this afternoon.
Jogi may be utterly incompetent, but thank goodness he hasn't done any of this. How we should play:
Brandt/Kruse - Muller
Ozil
Dahoud - Toni/Sami
Toni/Weigl
Schmelzer/Arnold - Mats - Boa - Weiser/Kimmich
or
Draxler/Kruse - Muller - Brandt
Ozil
Dahoud - Kroos
Weigl/Kimmich
Tah - Mats - Boa
The best we can hope for from Jogi, given that he's already screwed up in the team selection:
Draxler - Muller - Sane/Gotze
Ozil - Toni/Sami
Toni/Weigl
Hector - Mats - Boa - Kimmich
...curious wingers you've picked there...
I think I'm supposed to post something about how those strapping young german lads were innocent victims reacting to provocation...
...f***ing idiots This is why we can't have nice things. After all the positivity in recent weeks as everyone's rallied behind "bad neighbor" Boateng, some dips***s have to taint it all just because they saw all of these other hools getting in on the action & so they couldn't help but express their own disgusting natures...le sigh
He's not utterly incompetent. Remember Ribbeck? That was incompetent. Granted, he had really bad players to pick from.
Agreed on the hools, eff those swine.
