Amazing goal that was
That sounds really, really weirdEs kommt nach Hause!!!
Have to admit that I was skeptical when we signed him, but he is turning into a very good player.Waldschmidt Amazing run and finish.
When and where and why was that?But hey I heard some guys a couple of months ago swearing Germany youth football is decadent, imagine if they were competent...
It was a conversation a couple of months ago I had with a guy from Germany who follows youth football. He was predicting a big crisis coming for German football because they weren’t competitive at the under 17’s, 19’s or 20’s.When and where and why was that?
Interesting. I don't feel many people here think like that, but then again, not many follow youth football closely. I know I don't.It was a conversation a couple of months ago I had with a guy from Germany who follows youth football.

I think he was being influenced by a couple of factors here. First, the fact that recently Bundesliga clubs are bringing more foreign players to their academies, then the fact some Germany under 17’s or 19’s were less dominant at UEFA tournaments.Interesting.

It’s lower down where some have voiced concerned. Most of their players out here tonight are 22, 23 so are beyond that. I think Sammer was one who has said something.Interesting. I don't feel many people here think like that, but then again, not many follow youth football closely. I know I don't.
Cue Nmecha coming on for RichterThey’re after quite a few dual English/German nationals that have come through our system currently.
Sammer and I read something last year, think it was Kuntz making some comments regarding that.It’s lower down where some have voiced concerned. Most of their players out here tonight are 22, 23 so are beyond that. I think Sammer was one who has said something.

Thing is Lukas isn’t very good. The real prize is Felix his younger brother who is much better. Weirdly he was with Germany but more recently started playing with England mostly. Then Germany just happen to call up the less talented Lukas who has loads of England caps but had been out of favour for a while and behind guys like Bowen and Adams for the 21s.4-0, Dahoud scored

Their u17s are poor currently in fairness, one of their worst gens for a while but it happens. Germany's strength is at older levels as they integrate players into first team football so much better than basically every other country. Their development post u19s is probably better than anyones. England have the exact opposite issue.It was a conversation a couple of months ago I had with a guy from Germany who follows youth football.

And they have top youth coaches added with great managers to develop them on the Bundesliga environment.Their u17s are poor currently in fairness, one of their worst gens for a while but it happens.

Yup, probably an argument that their coaching/system is actually a lot better than the natural talent level of the kids. No surprise to see English youth and others going there nowadays. I'd definitely be trying to do the same if I was a young player.And they have top youth coaches added with great managers to develop them on the Bundesliga environment.

The players in this side did alright in the younger age groups, some of these players reached the final of the U17s in 2015 and went out at the group stage in the 19s in but their group was crazy strong and they all ended on 4 points each.And they have top youth coaches added with great managers to develop them on the Bundesliga environment.

Didn't watch the game but did hear that even Jovic didn't look bothered. Wouldn't read too much into the game though, because Milenkovic has played well against the likes of Juve etc in a struggling team.
Yeah, he's bottled it a bit with AWB but I suspected he'd drop him for Kenny. Kenny is pretty good at this level in fairness and does offer more attacking threat. He's joined Shalke for next season.@Classical Mechanic Can imagine England line up has got you riled up.
Dowell in at CDM it appears, Foden and AWB both dropped. Imagine Foden must have some sort of knock or something, seems very odd to drop him. Isn't like fatigue will be an issue for him, hasn't had a particularly grueling season.
no injury, just dropped to the bench@Classical Mechanic Can imagine England line up has got you riled up.

‘Managing his minutes’ apparently. He hardly played any minutes last season...no injury, just dropped to the bench
That's probably why the manager thinks he's not fit enough to play two full games within a few days. I can see the logic.‘Managing his minutes’ apparently. He hardly played any minutes last season...
Maddison's concentration and touch seems off today. Maybe the manager is right about the transfer speculation, but he's not playing his best. Gray has been England's best so far
He's had more than 1 good run. Been dangerous and worked hard to win the ball back after losing it, good determinationThink grays been poor aside from one good run
