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.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
