Nations League 24/25

[FinBarcelonafan]

Very poor from Germany. Portugal dominated them and could have beaten them worse if not for some 2 top saves from Stegen.

Tough to see how Germany comes back from this. Wow. Total domination in the second half.

Portugal took the best guys in and Germany had no chance.

Also an ignorant comment - Switzerland has a mix of different origins in the NT from Congo to the Balkans

Ok I used Switzerland as random example, what I meant is they would likely be irrelevant in the football map

When you look at their best ever and most important players most are africans

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

This German side feels soulless, dull and uninspiring.

And no goal scoring threat really

Comparing the number 10 position to Full Backs is crazy.

Number 10/AM is the most glamorous and attractive position on the pitch.

Not anymore.

CMs and wingers are the goats.

I'm a huge fan of Wirtz, but he's not a 150m player.

Not a guy that can win you a game on his own. Will be the best CAM in the World though.

In a league where the likes of Rice and Caicedo cost 116M, Enzo cost 121M.

I think 150M deal for 22 years old Wirtz is fair.

Germany's issue is simple.

They aren't very talented.

From Klose, Mario Gomez, Podolski to Fullkrug. Like cmon now....

He means they would be as good as the Swiss NT is in terms of strength and depth.

He clearly doesn't refer to the Swiss NT's racial profile. It's pretty obvious.

Khalid Boulahrouz calling Leao a truly hyped player lel

They had guys like chapuisat and the yakin brothers to be fair who were white. And guys back in the early days of the world cup who were white and good at the time.

lamine will finish these bums off.

Mark my words.

Maybe 20 years ago

Not anymore.

CMs and wingers are the goats.

ST, Wingers and AM are still the most attractive/sexiest positions.

Importance is a different conversation because CB, DM and GK are extremely important.

Number 10 is a dying position sadly. Most teams play with three midfielders. Not a true trequartista in the classic sense. The increased athleticism in the game has killed it off a fair bit

No one rates de Bruyne whos been the best #10 in modern times over the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Kroos, Modric…

Also today Vitinha vs Wirtz. Just one game, but another nice example.
