Bring in Khedira back was silly
Too many **** Ozil passes
Too much maneuvering of pieces

Honestly 30 minutes of decent football in 3 games.

He should have left the team intact from the Sweden game at the end and replace Boateng and Rudy. You don't ****ing change half the team in the middle of a tournament.

I bet you do.

To be fair im still fuming that NI got knocked out because of a ****ing referee

A team which seemed to be to relaxed, no urgency.

That was the real problem. Why could the Koreans still run in the last minute and we couldn’t? Were we gassed? I highly doubt that.

I never want to see Oezil's face again in a national jersey. And I bet that a lot of Germans are not unhappy after that Oezil/Guendokan debacle

Löw needs to go. And Özil and Gündogan need to retire from the national team. Same for Khedira. I don’t want to see another game with them.

I Love going to Germany, always a great time, however it's been great seeing an England-esque World Cup by them haha

Time to pick an underdog to root for.

I wouldn't say too much until we see how England do when not facing footballing giants like Tunisia and Panama lol

Is there any player on this German team that had a decent World Cup?

They all underperformed.

Unfortunately Loew will only leave if he quits. They just extended his contract until 2022. With the failures of the Euro and WC he is wasting a generation which could have been a dynasty.
As a player I would be pissed that my coach ripped apart a team who just showed somewhat their potential. You just don't do that. You force your game onto teams like SK and not adjust to them.

After the Erdogan affair Oezil and Guendokan should have stayed home. Period. Maybe they can go play for their President now.

I am thinking Sweden for those that have qualified.

But I am a Colombia fan as well so they are my top dogs but have a tough match tomorrow vs. Senegal just to get in.
