Problem is/was, that neither Flick, Löw and the players were able to make a functioning midfield out of Gündogan, Kroos, Goretzka and Kimmich. It is really a tragedy. The German NT has a lot of deficits but not to make more in tournament achievements out of this midfield group is a shame,.

Germany, the German government and the German political parties should be embarassed, when looking at the contributions of Poland to the security of Europe, the EU and NATO. With half the population and and a GDP per capita half of Germany they will have in the future roughly 4-5 times as much...

Lets be honest here. While all of this is true. It is not the reason for the piss poor state of the german armed forces, the Bundeswehr. The reason for that is, that Germany thought it could have armed forces on the cheap, and spent the money on other things, while enjoying the "peace dividend"...

Ok, mabey not militarily. But how about stopping the shady dealings of the greek shipping and tanker industry with russian oil? You know actually stop to fund the russian war machine? https://www.businessinsider.com/greek-shipping-companies-profit-from-transporting-russian-oil-report-2022-6...

The thing is, as corrupt Blatter and Platini were/are. In this particular case the evidence was so overwhelming that the swiss prosecutors colluded with now FIFA president Infantino to present false charges on Platini right before the elections for FIFA president. The whole thing is worse beyond...

No, the truth about Germany is much more complicated than corruption of our top politicians (with Merkel I am sure she received no kickbacks). Corruption is negligient in this matter. But yes, Germany was bought by Russia, but not a single or multiple persons are responsible for that. Germany...

Yeah and long passes are the only measurement of ball playing ability? Then Boateng should also be considered among the all time greats, he could also do that. How about short passes and creative interplay with teammates, and I am not even talking about dribbling ability and shooting technique...

And he is nowhere near being the GOAT Defender, he has a chance to be the best of his time/maybe era and to be considered among the second tier of all time defenders. But when it comes to the the best defender of alltime, he is clearly lacking in ball playing ability in comparison to his...

Every weekend thousands of amateur clubs do substitutions correctly without a "Team-Manager", shouldn't be too hard of a job either.... Maybe the DFL should appoint a overseer of the Bayern in-game operations as they can't handle these by themselves. For a club and its fans that pride themselves...

Find it a bit strange, that Coman is always mentioned for the fault in the german media . Yeah he was to be substituted and meant. But what about Sabitzer? There is this very difficult rule: One player comes off and you can come in. In the lowest leagues, everybody understands this.

I'll make a try for Germany. Biggest question for me ist the formation, do I go for a classic 442 or 352 formation. GK: Neuer (Kahn, Maier) RB: Breitner, he played midfield most for his career, but at the beginning he was a right back and I want strong offensive fullbacks in this lineup. (Lahm)...

Than it is no deal. Disarmament and "Denazification" aka Puppet Government of Putin are dealbreakers

Stop digging. You admitted yourself, that you don't care for source criticism. Which is the most fundamental skill in scientific research and navigating todays media landscape full of fake news, and doctored content (taking quotations out of context). And even after TMDaines provided you with...

Yeah, but Ukraine is also not one, at least accordingly to Russia. He can't have it both ways, by attacking the Polish,Czech, Slowenian delegation he would at least to have to acknowledge that Russia is at war with the Ukraine. I'm no expert in international law, but deliberately attacking a...

Nope. Otherwise if Putin leaves Russia, for example visiting Mongolia, it's open season on him and Russia has no right to declare war on the offender...
