Does BILD do their player rankings differently cause this makes no sense...? 

 

Bild rate players according to German school marks. 1 is the best possible mark, 6 the worst.

I think Kroos could see the writing on the wall; this probably being his last chance to be starting anyways. Who else would be contemplating this? Probably Hummels and Müller would be the two that come to mind but the other side of this is the world cup is already next year. I would bet they stick around until after that anyways. 

Edit: just saw this about Müller

That's how you announce the Olympics Squad with style.

And it was looking at that list I realised how immature I am... 

[Viva la FCB+]

Müller with some pointed but pretty tame criticism. 

 

In his newsletter Thomas Muller criticizes the tactics of Joachim Löw at EURO2020: “With our efforts to remain without conceding a goal through a rather wait-and-see, compact defensive strategy, we have de facto failed.” For Müller, Germany “deserved to be eliminated.”

Genuinely happy for both Uduokhai and Richter. 

Also, glad for Arnold, as I think he definitely should have been on the Euro squad but ya know....Lowe. 

[Azeem]

Quite strange Germany Brazil only met at the WC first time in 2002. Two most successful teams but kept avoiding each other.

So Benedikt Höwedes will do a traineeship as a DFB-Manager. Looks like he could become Oliver Bierhoff's successor in the long run.

Genuine question, why  do DFB need a general director? It's not like they had to buy their squad and they got their financial director, a PR manager, and a president for the finanancial, media and representative aspects of the job. Is it just me, who's a bit under the impression Bierhoff's job is rather dispensable?

Yea, I'd say the same. Maybe he's meeting with sponsors or organizes certain stuff. But I'm sure they got it done before his position even existed.

Hansi Flick's first Germany squad selection:

 

[Viva la FCB+]

No real qualms about that selection at all. I likey. 

[Tommy]

Most goals in their first 30 appearances for Germany:

[Devil-Dick Willie]

So odd to hear since the team has been so gash in big matches, and that Gnabry being played out of position has played its part in that!

New kits. 

[Azeem]

Ben 10

[Tommy]

Bella Kotchap.  He used to play for my neighbourhood team SG Unterrath.  

[Viva la FCB+]

Goretzka and Neuer headed back to Munich, both tested positive for the Rona. Brandt reportedly left the team hotel as well. Baumann has been called up as well as Arnold.

[Devil-Dick Willie]

I hate how they announce midfield and attack together. 

Team needs a striker, a proper 9. 

[Viva la FCB+]

Bastian's team:

My main quible is Ive never liked Müller playing as a 9. The form Gnabry is in he would be undroppable too but thats fort he time being I suppose. 

 

[Tommy]

Put one of your best attacking players on the right back position. What a genius plan.
