Koch, Gündogan and Kroos ALWAYS out of place, always.
But every German player today absolutely embarrassingly bad.

But also credits to Spain. They pass like in their best tiki taka times and have a very aggressive pressing on top.
Really impressive.

Croatia-Portugal. I forgot how English refs are bad without Var. This is shambolic. Guy dodn't saw clear handball and much much more.
Var is the best thing which happened in football

For me it's the same like when Bayern lost to Frankfurt 5:1 last year. I really hoped for a bigger defeat in order to get a rid of a coach that should have been fired a long time ago.

Let's hope that Löw faces the same consequences as Kovac.

I'm disappointed to be missing this. Should be worth it just to see people squirm in the post match interviews.
They need to bring in Ecki Heuser to ask everyone obnoxious questions about Boateng and Hummels.

Getting closer to the shape he had in july of 2018, I guess you remember.
July 2018?! That was world cup. Right? Couldn't care less about his "national team family" feeling or performances or joy or happiness when with them, I would like to see him do more than a dab for United.
And this "I guess you remember" dig, it is very funny. Congrats.

And deservedly so. Hummels and Boateng are still better than Süle, Koch and Tah.
Ginter, our only good CB on the pitch plays as right fullback...

This has been a fun match to watch. It's always entertaining seeing one of the big teams being put to the sword.

I like his football. I really liked his Barcelona team as well. They were probably 80% as good in the midfield as Pep's Barcelona, but their directness and way they played up top was a lot of fun.

We could also, if Kimmich was fit, play a midfield of Kimmich - Goretzka/ Gnabry - Müller - Sane. With Havertz, Kroos, Gündogan, Draxler coming from the bench.
What's this "talent crisis" I keep hearing about again?

Pogba impact in the first half was close to none, but he improved now that Sweden is tired. No pressure on him, so nothing new really. But at least he's keeping it simple and moving ball quickly.

And again, if the team struggles, Kroos is nowhere to be seen or heard. He is miles away from the leader Schweinsteiger was and Kimmich already is.

This team lacks leaders, the only one on the pitch is Neuer. And guys like Hummels and Müller that are not only needed for their skills but also for their leadership are sitting on their couch.

Will Low be under pressure for the sack?
If so, will Germany demand Klopp be placed upon the throne of Germany pride?

I spoke about centre backs.
The talent in midfield and attack is there.

Yes it is horrible, unfortunately it was heavy rain all night last night. Don't remember when it rained last time like that. And previous days it was nice sunny weather, too bad we didn't play on Saturday. Shame. Funny, weather forecast for tomorrow is nice sunny day.

Wth was that? Dear God...

This is genuinely one of the worst performances from a "top team" I've ever seen.

Makes us vs Spurs look like the fecking Harlem Globetrotters

Bierhoff, the manager, said this week that he will "go this way with Löw at least until the European championship".
So I won't get my hopes up until next summer...

And regarding Klopp. Of course we would take him but I think he said that he needs that the constant week in week out work at a club and isn't interested in managing a national team (yet).

Hopefully this game will mean that Rodri takes Busquets place.
I also really liked Fabián and even Koke and Ferrán of course.
Germany looked like Andorra.I think it's been maaany years since they lost by 5 goals
