what's the tweet insinuating then ?No one is claiming the goal is his fault.

It depends on the type of matchup. Most September-based international matches are poor, but some of them (like this Germany vs. Japan) can be really good.Has anyone in football history ever asked or even got excited for the September international break? Just the absolute worst.
Says it all about the rise of Japanese football that them leading Germany nowadays isn't even a shock result (even if this is a very mediocre Germany side).If this is not the thread, I'll move elsewhere.
Anyone watching Germany vs. Japan? The Blue Samurai supporters are doing all the noise in Wolfsburg so far.
Japan sure has made a very long way since their first World Cup in 1998. The biggest challenge for any developping nation is to maintain growth after they got a number of results against more powerful sides.Says it all about the rise of Japanese football that them leading Germany nowadays isn't even a shock result (even if this is a very mediocre Germany side).
Just to recap they won v Spain and Germany in an actual world cup and then pushed Croatia all the way to penalties who of course have been 2nd and 3rd in successive World cups.
Go back to as recently as 2002-06 and they were still seen as minnows on the World stage and aside from Nakata the players signed by English clubs were just commercial operations (Inamoto and a guy Bolton signed upfront but never played).
Think with a kinder draw they should certainly be getting to QFs in 2026 and have potential to do a Morocco.
4-13-1 finally. Takuma Asano buries Germany.
Sacked in the morning! Hansi getting sacked in the morning! Sacked in the morning! Hansi getting sacked in the morning!
Nagelsmann is way too young to be the national team coach. Also he is too smart to take over this broken team only 9 months before the home EM.Even if we sack Flick, who is even a viable replacement? Nagelsmann?
Flick was supposed to be the perfect coach to get the team back. It's just been continuous downhill.
I think you've got your Serial killers mixed up, Duffer. Dahmer was most definitely not into Ukrainian girls........ or even girls for that matter.Calm down Dahmer.
Get Ottmar Hitzfeld out of retirement.Even if we sack Flick, who is even a viable replacement? Nagelsmann?

Harsh on the old man.Get Ottmar Hitzfeld out of retirement.
What's Berti McVogts doing these days?Harsh.
Man for man there are players playing for some of the biggest clubs in Europe and Germany. The issue is that there were glaring gaps (RB, LB, ST, DM) in certain positions that mean the whole system of the team can't function.Nagelsmann is way too young to be the national team coach. Also he is too smart to take over this broken team only 9 months before the home EM.
Surely it's not the best generation but they should be good enough to win against teams like Ukraine, Poland, Columbia and Japan.
Tuesday against France will be fun, if the French turn up.
That he's a moronwhat's the tweet insinuating then ?
I agree.That he's a moron
This definitely belongs in the thread about the Euro qualifiers.I see the YouTube Allstars lost 8-5 to Sidemen FC in the Sidemen Charity Cup Final.
WTF
Ishowspeed missed a penalty

I've always said this, and maintained it even during his super hot scoring spells, that not enough fans are able to critically analyse a player honestly.Rashford is the strangest footballer I think I've ever seen, mad how many times he can flip between non league/world class level across a game.
