Immigration during the 19th century.

Mustafi is probably the most german-looking person after Schweinsteiger, Neuer, and Muller.
Yeah Porto Alegre has a big German/Dutch community. I´ve been there a couple of times. The women are gorgeous there.

Anyway it's all hypothetical now. I just think Low is digging himself into a hole. Heck, even France today attacked mainly from the right before Giroud came off. Valbuena supported by Debuchy is going to be a huge test for Howedes. He will need someone to hold a position before him.

All if Germans win today ofc. :angel:
Yeah, would be great for Germany to have a LB who has shown to be capable of keeping players of the level of Valbuena, the before mentioned Robben or Gareth Bale largely quiet. Would be fantastic if he would have actually played against them in the recent past and proven himself...

Just please, Löw, prove me wrong.

I just don't understand Howedes at left-back. Wasting him there, you can see he's limited as he's a true center-back.

Neuer looked ridiculous there obviously but if you're honest had he not done that Slimani would've been clear through on goal.

Yes. That was a good decision.

Neuer is so big he can block anybody and scare the crap out of you. :lol:

It might get better, but I hold onto my viewpoint that a midfield of Lahm - Schweinsteiger - Kroos is bollocks. There's such a lack of dynamic playmaking and runs, it's not even funny.

When Germany starts playing, Algeria will get destroyed.
