Who else is pulling for the Germans the rest of the way? I've always pulled for Deutschland because of my family's heritage and upbringing. Been there before and loved every second of my 6 week stay. Big Bayern fan and am seeking a rebound from our Champions League debacle.

Really want Klose and the vets to get a World Cup win. What has to be done to take down the French? Who needs to step up for the rest of the tournament?

I'd like to see Lahm start in the back because it's been our weakest link thus far. He's still the best overall defender Germany has to offer. Someone in the attacking third needs to step up besides Mueller. No doubt Klose can but not for 90 minutes... I like him off the bench. I'm looking at Ozil, Kroos, and Goetze to get it together and soon.

As I said before the cup, I support Germany because of my family. They come after the US, but I am still pretty passionate.

Hummels is irreplaceable for Germany, I fear. One of the best in the world. Need him back.

Kroos has to improve as well. He's been shite this far. Bad decisions and pointless giveaways.

As far as the attack, Germany needs to be considerably more patient. You can win the World Cup running primarily a false 9, but you have to stop trying to force Muller to be a CF. He's a master of space, so he needs to be moving off the ball to get into the voids in the defense. Stop trying to supply him like an out-and-out striker.

To be honest I find the Germans boring this year. They have so much talent but not enough bravery. Not enough goal scoring. They look a little too much like the Spanish. I understand the Spanish were incredible for a number of years but they were also dreadfully boring. 

 

With all that said fug the French.

We need Hummels back bad, also would like to see Podolski back out there.  Goetze and Ozil were garbage.  I agree with moving Lahm back as well, we have so much talent in the midfield that he should be used where he can have the biggest impact.  Finally, as I said in the Ro16 thread, Klose needs to play.

    • After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off 
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.
    • Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
