Low made only 1 change to the starting XI across the 3 games and he complained about tiredness after the loss to Macedonia. I mean...

Timo's miss was really embarrassing, but then again Macedonia defenders were very big and physical and he's just not used to that at all. (all over twitter haha)

The story is really how the hell did they manage to concede twice?!

Watched France game instead, which was not great, but at least competitive. There was a clear uncalled penalty for Bosnia IMO tho.

Ginter and Emre Can were dogshit, and Rüdiger was hung out to dry far too often.

Torres-esque there

Easier to score than miss but he somehow misses.

The Croatian international Borna Sosa (23, LWB, VfB Stuttgart) is not allowed to play for Germany according to FIFA statute. The German FA (DFB) will publish an official statement after a session on Wednesday, which will confirm that the DFB won't take any risks with FIFA.

Franjo Vrankovic, a famous Croatian football manager, who's also a very close friend to Jorg Englisch (Head of the legal department of the German FA - DFB) confirmed, that Englisch told him that the DFB is giving up on Borna Sosa, because he's not allowed to play for any other national team except for Croatia according to the newest FIFA statute from September 2020.

On Wednesday, DFB will hold a seassion organized by the technical director Oliver Bierhoff, in which they'll talk about Borna Sosa. After the session, they will publish an official statement explaining that Sosa doesn't meet the conditions set by FIFA to play for Germany and finally put an end to the story.

Franjo Vrankovic says that this has been an excellent PR stunt by Sosa, since he apparently raised his value on the football market by doing this, especially considering the fact that he has an open bid from Leeds United and some other Premier League clubs. It's expected that Stuttgart demands at least €20m for Sosa.
