thats probably the best news for the german nt, hopefully he can put an attacking influence into the squad, good to see holger moving on after his time with canada

good luck

Good news for Germany.

Ha, that's funny. Van Basten & Van 't Schip for Holland. Klinsmann and Bierhoff for Germany. I'd wish them luck but I won't since Germany is our arch-enemy. (H)

Good news for Germans.

But to all you german fans, is it true that Daum got an offer to be the NT coach?

Yes. It's his dream but Fener didn't let him go.

Osijek? Really? I thought that guy sucked in management.

I only know, that Beckenbauer (?) wanted him as the new coach.

Klinsmann will bring glory back to the German national team. He is a legend.
:rockman: :rockman: :rockman:

Great goalscorer he was.

What happened to Kirsten Jancker? He could be an assistant :p

Also a great personality off the pitch. The same applies to Bierhoff.

They're highly respected by the fans so they would get the time to integrate some more young players into the team.

He's still playing for Kaiserslautern. :rolleyes: :p

They got a lack of experiences. Seriously, why can`t Beckenbauer himself manage the NT ?

Daum was supposed to become the NT coach back in I think 1998 but he was found with possesion of drugs so that was the end of that. It is his dream but he says theres still many things to do at Fener.

he has reached everything in his career
so why should he do that?

dunno if its really a good thing....... when you got young guys taking over the "old establishment" feels threatened and **** you over somehow..........

stojkovic and savicevic similarly became president/coach of serbian football..... and lets just say that a draw and a loss against azerbeigjansoghaejrh;lkjdstan or whatever is no accident :confused:

hahah :funny:

I like his first decision:

He's gonna leave Dietmar Hamann, Christian Ziege, Sebastian Kehl and Fredi Bobic at home! :rockman:

19-man squad vs. Austria:

Oliver Kahn (Bayern Munich), Jens Lehmann (Arsenal), Timo Hildebrand (Stuttgart);

Frank Baumann, Frank Fahrenhorst (Werder Bremen), Arne Friedrich (Hertha Berlin), Andreas Hinkel, Philipp Lahm (Stuttgart), Jens Nowotny (Bayer Leverkusen);

Michael Ballack, Torsten Frings, Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich), Tim Borowski, Fabian Ernst (Werder Bremen), Bernd Schneider (Bayer Leverkusen);

Thomas Brdaric (Wolfsburg), Miroslav Klose (Werder Bremen), Kevin Kuranyi (Stuttgart), Lukas Podolski (Cologne)

Deisler will be rested for the Bundesliga. No pressure on him after his injuries.

Hm i dont like the Striker Squad.Klose istn good in the moment,Kurany,too.Bradic scores 2 Times at Dortmund,thats fine.And
Poldi i dont know.That with Fahrenhorst is Good,he's a talent.

whatever...GO KLINSI!!:rockman: :rockman:

I will be in Germany for the World Cup and I have serious doubts about the future of the German Nationalmanschafft.

Mein deutsch ist sehr scheisse... fick es!


Anyway, I worry about the future of your team Vince.

i wish daum was the new coach of germany.as a fener fan, i dont like him.

Huth and Linke get called up (http://skysports.planetfootball.com/list.asp?hlid=219998&cpid=219&CLID=&lid=9&title=Huth+gets+Germany+call-up)

Pfft, a Chelski reserve player and a 35 year old scrub? Good job. :rolleyes:
----

Ballack is the new captain. :)

Nice thread Vince :ewan: :taz: (H)

I like sauerkraut... don't ruin it by calling the German team it :f***: :(

Seriously, Lemon is such an arrogant dumb****, I can't believe he's still in the team. Hildebrand is MILES ahead of him.

The friendly game vs. Austria starts in about two hours. We should win it comfortably.

wtf are Baumann and Linke doing there ?!

Borowski instead of Baumann.

Austria equalized a few minutes later. I'm not watching the game anymore 'cause Lemon is in.

Kevin Kuraaaaaaaaaaaaanyiiiii with his second goal. :D

Germany wins 3:1

3 goals by Kevin Kuranyi (Fussballgott :D)

Germany played good, much better than the Euro and the matches before the Euro :)

*bump*

The squad which will play against Brazil next Wednesday will be announced tomorrow.

Let's see, I hope Klinsmann doesn't call the likes of Jancker, Wörns, Kehl etc. up.:$

The friendly game vs. Iran in Teheran is about to start in a few minutes.

Man the crowd is awesome. 100 000 people gave the German team a warm welcome with applause and the waving of German flags.


lol this doesn't has to do anything with politics. :crazyboy:

Lets cee how they will do in this match.
Man when i see people like Lehman Kahn and Linke still in the team i feel like throughin up. :kader:

Linke ain't in the team anymore. He was just called up because of injuries.


http://photodb.kicker.de/photodb/schemen/iran_dfb.gif

Mich ist sehr hornig :borat:

Huth? Hitztsperger?
Man those 2 dont even play in the premier League. :f***:

Where is Deisler? Where is Frings? Schweinsteinger? :f***:

klinsi i pissing me off :kader:

Hitzl does.

It's a friendly game. Klinsmann wants to give young players a chance.

Frings is injured.


Ernst makes it 1-0 for Germany 5th minute (H)

Theyre playing the black jersey. :D
http://212.185.116.69/newsimg/4133j.jpg

2-0...Brdaric... :kader: :kader: I mean this player shouldn't be there.. :f***:

i watched the first half, and Iran was very good, i must say i was surprised. There are a few players that dribble really good.

Brdaric can finish... and thats what germany lacked in Euro. So why not try him out?:rolleyes:

o plzz still with Lehman..Get over it...him and kahn are like Aladins lamp.....ANTIQUE. (H)

i read that the man saved germany's ass in the first half... so why not give him some credit?

I am currently watching the game (56 minutes, already 2-0), and it is the typical Germany match: opponent plays much better, dominates the first half, has fantastic chances to score, and Germany scores 2 on them without reply. :|

You're getting used to it as a fan. :p

Because he's an arrogant dumb******** (H) I want Hildebrand :rockman:

Haha! I dumbass Lehmann critic coach got fired by Klinsman.

Well done!

Yeah, Sepp Maier, Germany's gk of the century got fired for backing up Kahn and insulting Lemon. :rolleyes:

96 European Champion Andreas Köpke will probably become his successor.

:X

Ok first of, Sepp Maier shouldn't have said what he said.

Second of all, I think that the Koepke solutions is the best! I remember when Koepke was number 1 and Kahn would talk **** just like Lehman does now. Kahn would keep saying "I'm better I'm number 1 when Koepke was clearly the better goalie" Koepke knows what Kahn did to him when he was number one so Kahn should feel Koepkes pain now.

And as sad as this may sound, I honestly do believe that Lehman is better than Kahn. I don't think either is a great goalie and Kahn is past his prime. He needs to join WWE or something.

Hildebrand 06

Lemon better than Kahn? C'mon, Kahn is still one of the top 3 goalies in the world. He's had a rather bad season but had the worst defenders in front of him compared to Hildebrand and Lehmann. Stuttgart had the best CB duo in the league - Bordon and Meira. Bayern played with Kovac and Linke :X

In my opinion Lehmann is the worst of the almost Dream Team Arsenal. If it wasn't for him they would've gone for in the Champions League.

btw. someone should tell the Iranian fans that the Hitler salute towards a German team is not welcomed anymore. They didn't mean it in a bad way though. Hitler gets praised as a god in the arabic world (Führer of the Arabic World during WW2) because of his anti Jewish views.

Nice jersey (a little to spain-like tho) and nice stadium. now lets get a nice win.

3-0 and the Teutons are back on track... Huge victory ...I don'k know you guys but this week Hitzlsperger scored a tremendous gol with his club Aston Villa. A new phenom is borned.

The red shirt looks kinda crapy what do you guys think?

how can i put it "it looks soo plain" :X

I liked the black one more but it's not too bad.

We've achieved more than Spain will ever do in this millennium.

You shouldn't talk anyway ... Germany are still better than Crotia, Bosnia and Denmark. (H)

How long until a yellow jersey is out?

A new Germany in red jersey ? New spirit, eh ? :p
The jersey looks just allright. 7/10.

Great new jersey, beautiful new stadium, and great result!:)

Actually the red jersey is nothing new.

Fritz Walter 1954
http://www.voetbalfocus.nl/imgs/walter-f1.jpg

Why Germany uses the white color if that color is not in his national flag?

I think they should wear Red shirt with black shorts and yellow socks.:)

Or not.

All German national teams have been wearing white jerseys since the beginning of the 20th century. Changing that would be...gay :|


Some might get the wrong impression about the new jersey though: black-white-red and "Sieg" chants through the whole stadium:crazyboy:

I think I'll be getting the old black jersey. Don't know what name to have on the back: Schweinsteiger definitely not. :D Ballack, Kuranyi or Lahm

How about Metzelder?;)

I loved this game. Sure brought my moody mood back to optimum.

Lee Dong Gook. Hah, good for him. Hopefully he won't be all airheaded. Seems to be on track for that principle though, as he is just going to concentrate in the World Cup and Pohang in the K-League.

Enjoy.

I like very much what Klinsmann has done in the last few months. I was sceptical when he became National Team Coach after the Euro but he convinced me. He is not under influence of any German Club like Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke. That could have been a problem with hitzfeld. Additionally, he is not afraid to modernize the whole system or fire veteran members of the NT Team staff.
The team has a new identity, the always want to control the game and play offensive football using Germany's traditional fighting strength. Robert Huth and Per Mertesacker are the new starting defenders, both 20 or 21 and they play very good, same for Lahm or Hinkel, also very young players. I am very optimistic and think we will have a strong team in 2006.

Yep, he's doing a great job. He only needs to get rid of Kahn and Lemon and put Hildebrand in goal.

Bayern Munich veteran Mehmet Scholl would be ready to help Jurgen Klinsmann and return to play for Germany should the coach feel that he is in need of a creative midfielder.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know he's my favourite player, so damn that's great!

Maybe if he stops getting injured...

Anyone think it is possible for Metzelder to get back into the squad before WC 06?

Anyone have a roster for Fridays U21 match against England?

...............

http://www.soccergaming.tv/attachment.php?attachmentid=122369

Hey, Lehmann's selected (H):(

What a crappy joke :nape: :ewan:

Probable line-up for tomorrow:

------------------------ Kahn ------------------

-- Hinkel -------- Friedrich ---- Huth ---------- Schulz --

------------ Baumann ------------- Frings --------------

------------------------ Ballack ------------------------

------ Podolski --------- Kuranyi ---------- Neuville -----




Reserve: Lehmann, B. Schneider, Owomoyela, Borowski, Klose, Schweinsteiger, Mertesacker, Hitzlsperger

I despise Lehmann.

Where's the great podolski in the U21 team?

He's in the senior team.

Whoa.. thats rough.

U21 qualifying game: England 2-2 Germany


A blunder from Liverpool keeper Scott Carson cost England's Under-21s a win against Germany as his poor clearance led to a late equaliser and unlikely 2-2 draw.

After an even first period the visitors took the lead through Stefan Kiessling only for quick-fire goals from Darren Bent and Dean Ashton to give Peter Taylor's side the lead.

The home side seemed certain to collect the three points before Carson's low clearance was deflected to Roberto Hilbert who superbly side-footed the ball into the empty net.

The result was harsh on England who deserved the points based on their second half play. The draw keeps the sides level at the top of Group Six on 11 points apiece.

England attempted to pile the pressure on Germany early on with Bent closing down keeper Michael Rensing, while the visitors looked a threat on the break at Hull's KC Stadium.

With The Young Lions keen to stop break before they developed Liam Ridgewell was booked for a robust challenge on Kiessling.

Ashton tested Rensing from distance after collecting James Milner's deft touch, however the Bayern Munich ace was well positioned and made a comfortable save.

Just moments later Carson was at full stretch to push Christian Pander's booming free-kick just wide to keep the score goalless.

The chances continued to fall Ashton way, this time Lukas Sinkiewicz slipped in the middle allowing the Norwich man a free shot from Kieran Richardson's cross but he failed to keep it on target.

Germany almost took the lead just before the break when Mike Hanke volleyed a first time effort at Carson with Sahr Senesie's rebound clipping the bar and going over.

Dieter Eilts' came out all guns blazing after the break and took the lead with a wonderfully crafted goal. Kiessling was the benefactor with a well-taken finish from just inside the area.

England's responded in fine style and were level just 69 seconds later when Bent connected with Glen Johnson's right wing cross to head back across Rensing into the net.

Just two minutes later the home side were in front when Ashton collect the ball at the far post to skip past a defender before lashing an unstoppable shot past the Bayern custodian.

The home side were desperately unlucky not to added to their advantage after 75 minutes, but Rensing made a superb double save to deny Richardson and then Bent with the rebound.

Just when it looked like England would see out the game Carson made a hash of his clearnace allowing Germany to pinch an unlikely 2-2 draw.

Podolski scored! What is that, 3 goals in 3 games or something?

I think that it's his second game today. I'm not certain.

He scored 2 in one of the games in Asia, which is the last time he played i think.

Yea, exactly.

It's his third goal in 9 games then.

I meant like the last 3 games he played.

damn, we are destroying Germany in the second half, got a goal disallowed (was offside), but we are dominating. completely different from the first.

Game over. :shades:

good thing this was just a friendly, otherwise id be pissed. with our best player injured, and the other best one coming on in the second half because of an injury, this game was ******* excellent for us, atleast the second half. we really shouldve scored on one of those chances. but this is football :).

meh some things never change. The players obviously didn't care too much about this game with important domestic and CL games coming up in the near future.

Congrats to the Slovenia, they played with a lot passion and deserved more.

PS: Neuville freaking sucks.

Neuville? Still? Damnnnnnn
Wasn't Klinsi the inovator?

Does anyone have the players who will be in the Confederation cup??

The squad will be announced soon. Deisler will probably get called up. :)

He actually made it to the best team of europe this week, refering to the Italian soccer magazine CORRIERE DELLO SPORT. Here it is the best 11 of this week.


----------------------------------Schwarzer---------------------------------
--------------------------(Middlesbrough/England)-------------------------

---------------Puyol-----------------Luisao--------------Cris-----------------
----------(Barcellona/Spain)------(Benfica/Portugal)-------(Lyon/France)---


------Deisler------------Diop----------------Fernandes------------Victor-----
--(Bayern/Germany)--(Fulham/England)----(Benfica/Portugal)----(Maiorca/Spain)


---------------Cisse----------------Eto'o-------------Slovak WTF-------------
-----(Liverpool/England)----(Barcelon/Spain)-----(Nurenberg/Germany)------


2 from the bundesliga. Is this Slovak any good? He scored a decent goal against us and it happened to be the last in Olimpiastadion.

Here's the team for the Confederation Cup:

GK: Timo Hildebrand (VfB Stuttgart), Oliver Kahn (Bayern München), Jens Lehmann (FC Arsenal)

Defenders: Arne Friedrich (Hertha BSC Berlin), Andreas Hinkel (VfB Stuttgart), Robert Huth (FC Chelsea), Per Mertesacker (Hannover 96), Patrick Owomoyela (Arminia Bielefeld), Christian Schulz (Werder Bremen)

Midfielders: Michael Ballack (Bayern München), Tim Borowski (Werder Bremen), Sebastian Deisler (Bayern München), Fabian Ernst (Werder Bremen), Torsten Frings (Bayern München), Dietmar Hamann (FC Liverpool), Thomas Hitzlsperger (Aston Villa), Bernd Schneider (Bayer Leverkusen), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern München)

Strikers: Gerald Asamoah (Schalke 04), Mike Hanke (Schalke 04), Miroslav Klose (Werder Bremen), Kevin Kuranyi (VfB Stuttgart), Lukas Podolski (1. FC Köln)


Hamnn wtf :|

Schulz :rolleyes:

Schulz, Huth, Kanke, Hitzelsperger, Schweinsteiger :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Schweinsteiger is having a great season. Besides he's one of the most skilled player on that team.

Huth will develop into a class defender, he's been excellent in his first nt appearences.

Hitzlsperger is left footed, very important since Lahm and Schalke's Pander are out. He will get more playing time next season at Stuttgart.

I'm fine with these young players but Hamann omg. :nape:

Who the hell is Kanke? :nape:

He meant Hanke.

Schweinsteiger is having a great season. Besides he's one of the most skilled player on that team.

Huth will develop into a class defender, he's been excellent in his first nt appearences.

Hitzlsperger is left footed, very important since Lahm and Schalke's Pander are out. He will get more playing time next season at Stuttgart.

I'm fine with these young players but Hamann omg. :nape:

Schweinsteiger doesnt have great season by far. The team doesnt accept him and he had some bad games as well, i know it because i'm Dauerkartenbesitzer? and i see him nearly every game.

Huth? I dont think that its worth argueing about him. If he really wants to become a great player he has to leave chelsea and play better football than he does right now.

Youre right iim fine with him since in knw that we need a left footed, but Klins i should have Malik Fathi as well, he playing a great season.

Hamman is ok, if he aint playing in the starting 11.

This should be the starting 11:

----------------Kahn---------------
Owomo-----Friedr----Mertes---Hinkel
----------------Ballack--------------
--Schneider-----------------Frings--
------------Deisler------------------
Asamoah-------------Poldi----------

Schweinsteiger doesnt have great season by far. The team doesnt accept him and he had some bad games as well, i know it because i'm Dauerkartenbesitzer? and i see him nearly every game.

He's clearly outplayed Ze Roberto and made a huge step forward in his development. Even if you don't like him, he HAS to be on the team, it's not like we have 20 players waiting to take his spot.


As for your team, Schneider is old and inconsistent, Asamoah is crap.

Asamoah is playing his best season ever man wie sagt man so schön wenn man keine ahnung hat, einfach mal fresse halten ;)

Asamoah can be playing HIS best season, but i don't think he is consistent in the NT. Ok than i submit, let's try the second division Podolsky.:p

Podolski is the best scorer in division two and I bet he will score 15+ goals in the Bundesliga. He's without a doubt the hottest German prospect. Klinsmann has to play him.

Hey guys can you tell me which players are in the line-up of Germany NT,
and which tactic does Klinsmann use, 4-4-2 or the 3-5-2

4-4-2

and something like this

Kahn

Hinkel -- Friedrich -- Mertesacker -- Lahm

Owomoyela -- Ballack -- Frings -- Schweinsteiger

Kuranyi -- Podolski

Lahm is out.

I know. I thought he asked for the best lineup.

Metzelder? Deisler? Hitzesplger? Huth?

Huth - Friedrich and Mertesacker are better
Hitz - Schweini is much better than him

Deisler/Metzelder - there's no doubt that both belong in the starting team if they're at 100%. Deisler should play at RM to make it an all Bayern midfield. :D Metzelder is a few steps behind Deisler, after being out for almost 3 years it will take some time. I expect him back with the team at the beginning of 2006.

Nwayz i want to see something like this in 06

1-Hildebrabd

2-Owomeyola
3-Lahm
5-Freidrich
21-Metzelder

10-Deisler
13-Ballack(c)
7-Schweinstainger
6-Frings

22-Kuranyi
9-Podolsky (If he scores 20+ goals this season in the Bundesliga.)

Good team except you forgot that we have one of the best goalies around and we should stick with him.

He is like what 36? 37 on the WC. Nah Hilde is fine man.

37, like Lemon.

Age doesn't matter. Kahn is one of the best goalkeeper in the world and the leader of the team. If him and Hildebrand were on the same level it would be fine with me - but they aren't.

I still have no idea why they even consider Lehman in the NT for Germany. Kahn deserves to be No.1 intill the WC then u can either choose from


Hilden or Rensing

Rensing? HAHAHAHH!!! :lui:

How about Weidenfeller or Wiese?

Rensing? Don't be ridiculos man. The kid has played very few matches. I would call Hans Joerg But. In chase we need to go into penalty kicks. :D

The confederation cup team.

God still Lemon and Kahn. :nape:

Lemon, poor fella, always behind Kahn. :rolleyes:

Podolski :Bow:

:rolleyes: Seems to me we lost to team called Bayern MUnchen. :rolleyes:

There should be no booing of Jens.

That was uncalled for :(

Klose's out of Confed. Cup. Brdaric to take his place. Germany has a very strong midfield but really lacks a pure striker. Asamoah is more of a winger, Poldolski is more of a forward, and Kuranyi can't head the ball that well. Klinsmann should try a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 with wingers, since the team isn't that great up front.

Northern Ireland 1 - 4 Germany
15' [1 - 0] D. Healy (pen.)
17' [1 - 1] G. Asamoah
62' [1 - 2] M. Ballack
66' [1 - 3] M. Ballack (pen.)
82' [1 - 4] L. Podolski

Nice game. We scored after Huth got sent off against a weak opposition team. Ballack MoM as usual.

Asamoah, wow! How was his goal?

I was surprised by the starting line up, especially with the defence. Huth still got lots to learn. I suppose Klinsmann's saving his best players for Russia and the Confed. Cup?

Friedrich is injured, all left backs are injured as well (Lahm, Pander, Schultz). That looked like the best team to me, you can argue about whether to start Schneider/Ernst or Deisler/Schweini.
Kahn and Lehmann will share playing time until WC, this includes the Confed Cup.

Asamoah, wow! How was his goal?
Pass Ballack, ball deflected by an opposition player, Asamoah in front of the goal, scores.

Highlights? Or is it asking too much? :p

How was Podolskis goal?

Edit: Vince how do you like my new sig? :rockman: Thanx to JimBob :)

nice podolski sig. :rockman:

Thanks Klobb. U should get one too bro. :rockman:

Podolski is so cool before the goal, similar to Makkay, but Lukas has just become 20.

Thanks Klobb. U should get one too bro. :rockman:

A sig i mean not necesarily Podolsky. :pYeh, apparently my old one was a bit too large....requested one already though. :jambo:

Did Hanke played for the NT last night?

No. He was an unused sub.

Tonight's the last friendly game before the Confed Cup. I hope we play some good football against the Russians in the first game at the new Borussia Park.

Who is starting tonigh?

MAn the dfb.de is such a lazy web sute. Very few info and pic available from the NT.

2-2 against Russia.
Schweini scored twice. :rockman:

Schweini and Podolski played very well together. It's nice to see a German team that finally has some ball skills.

Hitz looked lost out there at LB. We have no better player to cover that spot since Lahm, Pander and Schulz are all out.

Frings was crap, too. Ernst should get a chance in the next games.

Hitz is gifted shotwise. I mean he almost scored in a shot in the second half. He is short and agile, reminds me Haessler and Kuntz. I hope Aston Villa plays him more or even better he moves to a better club. Playing defense is not his possition so i wouldnt be bothered by that.
I never liked Frings. He is a warrior partially. Very inconsistent. In that position i would prefer Sebastian Kehl play if he gets back on his top. How long will Lahm's injury go on? I miss him already. :nape:

he will play for stuttgart next year btw

I'd say that it'd be a good idea to get German players like Hamann and Hitzelspberger back in Germany so the league improves too. Still has the best average attendance though.

Back in the good old days half the team played in the Serie A. This hurt the league but the nt benefited from it (kinda like the French between 98 and 02).

Hitz is going to Stuttgart, this leaves Hamann and huth as the only player playing in a foreign league. How those guys would make the league stronger is beyond me.

Anyway back to the game today. I was really amazed to see all the young guns playing so amazingly together on the offensive end. I can't remember watching a German nt with such technical skills. What a pleasure to watch.

Rudi Voller was just a crappy manager even if he was a good player. Germany might've had a chance in the World Cup final if he'd played players like Ziege, Jancker, and Beirhoff instead of subsituting them in at the end. When I saw the starting line ups, I almost cried because I saw how Germany was going to have little chance against Brazil's best starting 11. Klinsmann though is good at selecting the team, and when he selects a B side, he's got good reasons for his selections. It'll pay off because football is still popular in Germany but it's losing popularity with kids in England, Italy, etc because they're more interested in video games and stuff.

treble41, stop posting already.


Vince, I think I've actually been enjoying the way Germany was playing for the first time in my life. Congrats (Y):(

EDIT: Watching a delayed version of Germany-Meixco. What's wrong with Mike Hanke :D? Does he do these kinda things a lot at Schalke?

Vince, I think I've actually been enjoying the way Germany was playing for the first time in my life. Congrats (Y):(

That's what you get when you let a former worldclass striker coach your nt. ;)

EDIT: Watching a delayed version of Germany-Meixco. What's wrong with Mike Hanke :D? Does he do these kinda things a lot at Schalke?
Nah. Well, because he usually doesn't play at all at Schalke. Wolfsburg bought him for about 4 million.

That's what you get when you let a former worldclass striker coach your nt. ;)Yeah, that's why we put van Basten in charge :jap:

Haha, Kahn just tried to chase down this player but backed off quickly (H)

Germany's still probably one of the most disciplined or the disciplined sides in the world so you can't base them on Mike Hanke getting a card once in a while.

Yeah, that's why we put van Basten in charge :jap:

Haha, Kahn just tried to chase down this player but backed off quickly (H)

It doesn't work for Holland, they already were an attacking team. Van Basten is doing something i really lke. He is not feeding the "spectacular but loosing" kind of game but he is persuading the "Normal and effective" kind of soccer...
Good luck to him.


As far as this tournament goes we did show that we are a new attacking force.. I mean in 5 games we scored 15 goals averaging an amasing 3 goals for game but we also allowed 11 goals, that makes a 2.2 goals for game....Thats a mess... me miss Metzelder :( ...and Lahm :(

Good luck to him.Ironically during his press conference he said that he wanted to play attacking entertaining football. But you're right, we've been playing pretty ****ty and we're winning. We played absolute crap against Finland but ended up winning 4-0. The game goes for domestic football, Hiddink adopted a more defensive and realistic style of play with PSV and look where it got them.

With Germany though, it's fun to see them play offensive and score goals because they're so much better when they play offensively rather than defensively. Is Klinsmann taking heat for being so lax when it comes to the defense? In Holland, no one is ever satisfied with a win if the team didn't perform well.

Not really. I mean he is doing what he can with a second tier of defenders. (Other than Mertesacker none of the defenders in the confederations cup is a starter) When Lahm and Metzelder will be back we might get a better and more reliable defence. Curiosly though both of them are very attack-minded. Lahm reminds me of Lizarazu, he can start a counterattack just like that. Metzelder is very good in lauching the ball after soffocating an opponent attack.

Metzelder might not be completely ready for the World Cup. His play with Dortmund for the time he played was pretty poor for his standards. However, after going through summer training and hopefully remaining fit, he should be good to go.

Worns is good if CMetz isnt ready.

Or Nowotny. :nape:

Is Klinsmann taking heat for being so lax when it comes to the defense? In Holland, no one is ever satisfied with a win if the team didn't perform well.
The German mentality is a bit different ("tomorrow no one will care HOW we won the game only THAT we won it").
Every expert like Beckenbauer is amazed though by the attacking style.

If Germany can get a solid team without so many injuries then they can beat Brazil seeing how they have a good manager now. Thomas Fink retired though didn't he and Sebastien Kehl just dissapeared off the face of the planet. Ziege was always good in defence. No one can matc Lahm's speed though, Lahm could be a left midfielder.

Who's Thomas Fink?

edit: (H) http://img279.imageshack.us/img279/4705/podolski6ql.gif

Klinsmann called up the team that will face Holland next weeks. Podolski and Schweinsteiger will be rested, the following players who were either injured or rested during the Confed Cup are back.


Dietmar Hamann - meh too old
Oliver Neuville - :sb9: :sb9: :sb9: :sb9: :sb9:
Christian Wörns - at least better than Huth
Miroslav Klose - in good form :bouncy:

Metzelder and Lauth have to wait for their first call ups after longterm injuries.

Ehh Neuville, Hamman and Worns are alright, KLOSE!11111 :hit: bless poland for klose and podolski

Podolski will be on the cover of Fifa 2006 together with Rooney and Ronaldinho.

http://bz.berlin1.de/aktuell/sport/050810/Poldi_Andruck.TORJDEQ/4_big.jpg

Holy Sh** Yes Thats Sick Looking.

That has to be only for the German version.

:o

Yep.

Looks pretty decent.
Neuville?
Klose?
Woerns?
:sb9:
WTF...I hope he is not planing to get those maggots in the world cup. :hit:

C'mon, at least Klose has to be in the WC team. He's had a good season with Bremen, 15 goals and 9 assists on a good team. Furthermore he has the experience of one WC and CL footie which most others lack.

A striking force of Podolski, Kuranyi, Klose and Lauth would give Klinsmann nice options.

I'd rather have Hanke over Lauth. I love the way he moves without the ball. I was watching the highlights of the Wolfsburg game and he was pretty positional. He didn't score but was a countinious moving object. :D

Hanke would be suspended for the first two games at the WC because of the red card he received at the Confed Cup. His chances are very low now.

Why can't the suspention be fulfited in friendlies? :eek: And how come is 2 weeks? :eek:

That would be stupid if it could be fulfilled with friendlies... it has to be official matches. Hanke isnt **** anyway so who cares...


Germany is trying to recruit BVB's youngster Nuri Sahin... he can still pick if he wants to play for Turkey or Germany. :bouncy:

I see a-Total-Football Germany under Klinsmann.

Can Klinsmann at least try Timo Hildebrand in a friendly match against Netherlands ?

Klinsmann has decided to keep the gk rotation until the WC. Kahn and Lehmann will be playing 3 games each, when one plays the other one won't be in the squad.

God, can't he just name Kahn the no.1? We absolutely have no problem at the gk position. :rolleyes:

WTF! Seriously, he needs to just set Kahn in, Lehmann can take being the backup, thats what hes done his whole life for germany. :rolleyes:

Kahn and Lehmann will be playing 3 games each, when one plays the other one won't be in the squad.

Speaking of which, the 2 GK blast each other for battling the #1 GK position. :evil:

EDIT: I don't know if this is true. Klinsmann will drop either Kahn or Lehmann in the final rosters WC 2006 for the benefit atmosphere for the team itself.

Klinsmann has already nominated the players for the upcoming matches.
Slovakia - Germany, September 3 in Bratislava.
Germany - South Africa, September 7 in Bremen.

Cologne's Lukas Sinkiewicz and Gladbach's Marcell Jansen have been nominated the first time for the German A-Nationalteam.


Goalkeeper: 23 Timo Hildebrand (VfB Stuttgart), 9 Jens Lehmann (Arsenal London)

Defence: 3 Arne Friedrich (Hertha BSC Berlin), 2 Andreas Hinkel (VfB Stuttgart), Marcell Jansen (Borussia Mönchengladbach), 29 Per Mertesacker (Hannover 96), 25 Patrick Owomoyela (Werder Bremen), Lukas Sinkiewicz (1. FC Köln), 4 Christian Wörns (Borussia Dortmund)

Midfield: 13 Michael Ballack, 26 Sebastian Deisler, 7 Bastian Schweinsteiger (alle Bayern München), 18 Tim Borowski, 8 Torsten Frings (beide Werder Bremen), 15 Fabian Ernst (Schalke 04), 6 Thomas Hitzlsperger (VfB Stuttgart), 19 Bernd Schneider (Bayer Leverkusen)

Attack: 14 Gerald Asamoah, 22 Kevin Kuranyi (beide Schalke 04), 11 Miroslav Klose (Werder Bremen), 20 Lukas Podolski (1. FC Köln)

Two more 19 year olds. This is great news, Jansen is a better LB than all the other LBs currently available. Arsenal are after him.

Sinkiewicz is solid, can't be worse than Wörns or Huth.

Why does Schneider keep getting called up? Kringe is a much better player and he is younger.

Why does Schneider keep getting called up? Kringe is a much better player and he is younger.
Maybe he wants an older experienced player?..

His experience sure showed at Euro... He is trash and doesnt deserve a spot.

Lehman number 9? WTF?

awwww Lincoln got rejected....too bad, you couldve had another solid Brazilian :hump:

I think he can make it to his native nt one day, he's a brilliant playmaker.

The reply they made to Lincoln's statement was stupid. They flat out rejected him. I would've said: "We're happy that Lincoln is intrested in the national team and we're intrested in him since he's a proven player. We will monitor him in the future and if we like what we see, we may call him up to the national side."

I hope that they didn't hurt the guys feeling or anything because he could be useful in the future.

Dude, the point is not that Lincoln wouldn't be useful for the nt, there's no doubt about that, he just has absolutely no connections to the country. Everyone knows he wants play for Germany because he doesn't see a perspective to play for his native nt in the near future.

So? My brother was born in NZ but he'd rather play for Canada, not just football but rugby, cricket, etc.

Yeh, you can't always just decide to switch countries, players sometime want to play for their country because they have pride in their country, Lincoln just can't get onto his native nt so heslooking for a way out.

Just like Ailton, he said he'd like to play for Qatar if they select him. :|

If Germany allows Lincoln play for the NT, i'll switch to France...
Fvck no id rather cheer for Aruba instead. :D

Every week a new name who doesn't get a chance to play for his own nt so he wants to play for us.

This time it's Bayern's Valerien Ismaël. He's born in Elsace and has a German girl-friend. :boohoo:

Meh he should have no problem getting into the French nt.

wtf, he could get into french NT..

I wouldn't have a problem with him playing in the German nationalteam.
He speaks better German, than some Germans and he is from Elsace. There are still some people who consider themself as Germans and not as French.
I don't know how Ismael thinks about this.

And according to Kicker Ismael still wants to play for France.

Tomorrow Germany will play Slovakia in Bratislava.

Probable line-up:

----------------------------- Lehmann ------------------------------

-- Friedrich ------- Mertesacker ------- Sinkiewicz ----------------- Jansen ---

----------------------------- Ernst/Frings --------------------------------

------------- Deisler ----------------------------- Schweinsteiger ------------

-------------------------------- Ballack -------------------------------

----------------------- Kuranyi ------------ Podolski -----------------------

Lehmann will wear the #9 from now on. :boohoo:

Damn** Klinsmann Choose Kahn Permanently

Podolski should be 9. Good test for Jansen and Sinkiewicz

Games started, Podolski and Schweinsteiger not playing, nor is Sinkiewicz or Jansen. :( Worns still in the first XI :|




EDIT: LOL @ Lehmann with the number 9!!

EDIT 2: **** Mertesacker gave away a penalty. 1-0 Slovakia. Lehmann jumped to his left 2 seconds before the guy hit the ball.

1-0 to Slovakia

my god what a crap team Klinsmann is playing, I'm about to throw up :nape:

Agreed. Lehmann; Owo...., Mertesacker, Worns, Hitzelsberger; Ernst; Deisler, Ballack, Schneider; Asamoah, Klose. Half of them wouldn't even be in the team under a different coach.

Worns?! :wootman:

Haha someone kicked a ball at Klinsmann, he's pissed now.

Agreed. Lehmann; Owo...., Mertesacker, Worns, Hitzelsberger; Ernst; Deisler, Ballack, Schneider; Asamoah, Klose. Half of them wouldn't even be in the team under a different coach.
Wörns--Sinkiewicz
Hitz--Jansen
Schneider--Schweini
Asamoha-Podolski

This team would be a lot better and more entertaining :rolleyes:

edit: 2-0 what a joke of a defense

**** 2-0. Lehmann should do his talking on the pitch. What a joke he's been. The defense looked pretty bad too. Klinsmann better do something at halftime.



EDIT: Excellent, Schweinsteiger and Podolski are warming up.
