Jase 43,479 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I don't know if it was commentated by anyone before, but we were lucky with the NTs. Despite yet another break coming in the middle of November, no players will be involved in the European play-offs (I'm not sure if Brazil have any matches scheduled, but they probably do), so it means that most players in the squad will be with us instead of risking injuries in the NT matches - which is always a relief. Also, we can use the extra training before December comes as the winter isn't normally Chelsea's favorite part of the calendar.I believe some of the national teams will have friendly matches to play during that international break.

Popular Post! Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted October 16, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted October 16, 2013 Still hasn't sunk in. What a feeling, oh my God, there are no words to describe this. Anything comparable to it would be the night of 19 May 2012.Incredible night, the only thing I regret a bit is not being able to celebrate down in Bosnia with all my mates and our people, but Amels can confirm Vienna wasn't so bad either. I'll post a few pics of the celebrations as soon as I get some good connection, McDonalds' W-Lan is terrible. And a big thank you to Ollie who has been there with us the whole time. Also thanks to BluesMaster and all the other on here who've shown their support. nachikethas, Amblève., Rmpr and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nachikethas 1,154 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 U-17 world cup is going on now in UAE.man these kids look like 22years old. Brazil vs Slovenia now, there is one guy called mosquito in brazil team(scored a brace)!!quality of football is really good which actually excites me because india are the leading candidate for 2017 u-17 world cup.They will decide in December this year. If we get that it would be biggest gift indian football is gona get. We also need to shape up a good team before that. this could be the only ever chance to play in big competition like this because of automatic selection of the host nation.

Spike 12,049 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Germany's downfall will be their lack of a leader. Despite popular opinion I'm 100% convinced that both Lahm and Schweinsteiger are not leaders of any sort. Terrific players, no doubt but leaders of men they are not. This German team will not win the World Cup or the Euros, even though they are quite possibly the most stacked and talented German team for a long time.They lack the perfect cohesion and mechanical nature of past German teams. Lowe has given Germany flair and panaché but taken away their stereotypical 'boring, efficient, win at all costs' nature. I'd take the German team from 2006 over this one. Michael Ballack being one of the main reasons. Not often you see a barrel chested man take games by the scruff of their neck and alpha male his team to victory.Manuel Neuer is a clown that has to be replaced by Ter-Stegen, Adlér or even Leno.Mario Gotze will be less than flatering at Bayern. He will be constantly outshined by Draxler, Ozil, Muller, Kroos and Reus.André Schurrle will replace Podolski as the 'average for club, brilliant for nation' German.Stefan Kiessling is a machine that has been overlooked by Germany.Mario Gomez should be nowhere near die Mannschaft if they want to win anything.Schmelzer, Howedes, Hummels and Lahm should be the default starting back four.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Manuel Neuer is a clown that has to be replaced by Ter-Stegen, Adlér or even Leno. Not sure if you know this, but Neuer was not supposed to be Germany's keeper in 2010 world cup. After Enke committed suicide, Low tried both him and Adler for a few matches to decide who would get the starting spot for the WC and he actually decided that it would be Adler over Neuer, but he suffered a back injury IIRC a couple of weeks before the WC and Neuer ended up as the first choice keeper as a result.Neuer is definitely capable of the incredible, but he's also prone to the absolutely stupid. He reminds me of Lehman in a way. Very erratic and unpredictable which isn't exactly things you want your keeper to be. I honestly still prefer Adler and I think that Ter-Stegen should be the future keeper for the German NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have the best team, but if you dont have 110% confidence you are the best, you wont win a WC. Something very clear in the last two winners. Italy and Spain didnt play great and even faced 'better' teams, but they were certain about what they wanted!The problem with Germany (and England in 2006) is that they dont have the manager who will put that inside the players head. They dont have the leader who will make their players give that extra effort. Overall, if you dont have a manager who is both a leader and a motivator, you will never win a WC. And neither Löw nor Capello have these attributes...World Cups are like this, if you are in it you have a chance. But the problem is making your squad believe in that.
