He was still starting Podolski over Reus even when Reus was the Bundesliga Player of the Year.
Reus got the nod last night over Podolski. Podolski is getting old, and he's not playing along Ballack to make him look like a super star anymore. Most Germans just don't want to accept it

Podolski looked good last night

Why do people hate Gomez?

Podolski is good absolutely and I'll never argue that. I respected him a lot watching him play at Koln but he's not elite like a lot of Germans make him out to be. At least not at this point in his career

maybe he doesn't embarace being german like the other guys with non german names do
the locals went nuts everytime Klose touched the ball, maybe he comes home one day

I hate Gomez bc he's not capable of doing anything but popping up in the box. He sucks at passing he sucks at not being lazy and he's good at missing 15 clear cut chances a game. His scoring record is great but he profits wildly from his midfield play who basically put the ball in the net for him. He's had his days both great and piss poor. I think that it's mainly bc his good is so good and his bad is sooooo bad that people just get pissed at him.

On the CB thing everything I saw about yesterday's match had Hummels at fault for the goals (aside from Khedira's blunder)
Hummels is very inconsistent. He has a much higher ceiling that Mertesacker who is just average every game. I don't think the Hummels/Per partnership works because Hummels is prone to stepping high, making wild challenges, he needs a guy who can actually cover him. I think Benni Howedes could do a better job.

I know, Reus has become a consistent starter lately. My point is that it's taken entirely too long for it to happen.

I think it's more that everyone loves Klose and for so long it's been Klose v Gomez. Plus Gomez has a tendency to blow great chances whereas Klose is a machine.

LULZ with the Gómez comment. I agree, FWIW.
BTW, how ´bout them Fightin´Fondues and Los Gauchitos?

Argentina v Italy? Did you watch? I saw Pipita actually had a pretty nice goal.
Posted on 8/15/13 at 10:51 am to hendersonshands
My guess is Switzerland vs Brazil. Ain't no fricking fondue in Italy
Posted on 8/15/13 at 10:53 am to hendersonshands
pretty nuts to be how much the narrative has changed regarding Löw and Klinny these past few months. not their interpersonal narrative, but how they're perceived right now compared to even 6mo ago.
Posted on 8/15/13 at 10:53 am to hendersonshands
Not bad at all, but in reality, shitty D by Italy, and a sloooow Buffón reaction.
Posted on 8/15/13 at 10:54 am to Tweezy
Ah yeah, I forgot they had gauchos in Brazil, tambien.

His comment was kind of funny he basically said he didn't give a frick but he felt bad for the keeper bc he doesn't get to play often.

1. Suiza

Somehow Ilkay managed to sprain his spine in this match and is out for a few weeks.
Posted on 8/15/13 at 11:21 am to Tweezy
I saw he was hurt. That's a crazy injury though.
Posted on 8/15/13 at 11:22 am to hendersonshands
Yeah, I'm not sure at all how one sprains their spine.
