He played better at international level apparently.

Loving this game - mexico causing lots of problems
Sane was better but deemed immature by Joachim. Not every manager fancies Pep’s ultra-high risk football.
Hirving Lozano is really stepping up to the occasion, what a fantastic player. Mexico look really lively as well and could potentially get a good result in this fixture
So Neuer has been injured all season and is suddenly fit enough to play in the WC.
It's all but 'suddenly'.
Ah right, thanks. Still think Germany missed a trick by not having Sane on board. Time will tell.
Mexico has come to play today!
¡Vamos El Tri!
¡Vamos El Tri!
And 49 goals. Last year he became Mexico's top goalscorer ever.103 caps for Chicharito.
What's more remarkable is that he was close to that record after just 4-5 years in the national team.I love Vela. What could have been with him.
Kroos not booked?
Kroos
Kroos. You're not playing for Real Madrid, mate.Remember when we were linked with him.
Liked how the ref pushed Kroos back at arms length just then.
Germany has too many quality players. Why is no big team looking at signing Timo Werner? He looks like he will thrive in the PL.
Give the yellow to that disrespectful little shit.
Fair feck to referee for that situation. It's not Real Madrid that you can act like that and get free kick from every situation.
Shaky start for Germany.
There was a lot of entitlement in that handball by Kroos. Should have been booked.
Mexico are fun to watch, some good stuff so far.
Stadium rooting for Mexico?
Kroos forgot for a moment that he's not wearing the Real jersey.
KroosKimmich is a ridiculously good crosser.
German's defence can be got at.
They're lacking a holding mid, someone to control. Khedira has always been loose positionally, kroos isnt a defensive mid.... leaves them very open to counters when they still try to control possession.
Fantastic cross.
Best in the world.
Nearly an own goal there.
Khedira should have gotten to that
Open start to this game
We should really be going all out for Boateng. Fantastic on the ball and the calming influence we could do with in our back line.
Why is Kroos acting like a prick ?
Just 3 Germans in the box for the corner Very scared of Mexico's counterattack?
Very scared of Mexico's counterattack?Actually I predicted it. That's because Osorio (the Mexican coach) tends to arrange his teams to play offensively regardless whether the opponents are powerhouses or not.
Im exaggerating but the timeline for his recovery seemed to align perfectly with beating the fitness deadline for the WC. I guess it all worked out perfectly.
Meh while I agree I cant see him wanting to join.
Kroos.
Goes down easy, handballs, throws the ball away, argues with the ref and then pushes back (when the ref tries to push him away).
How many things did the ref need to book him?
