OldJoe Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Germany is going to disappoint this tournament. They haven't got Ballack, Klose is horribly out of form and Lahm? Come on. :razz: Our midfield and attack is way better than Germanies, I don't know about their defense. I mostly agree with you, although I do think that Lahm is about as good as fullbacks come. I don't think the Germans will do terribly well, since as you say Klose is having a terrible time at the moment. If I was to pick the two danger men from the German squad it would be Trochowski and Schweinsteiger. Also, the vast majority of the German squad play in the Bundesliga, and I don't rate that league very highly compared to most other European top flights.I think Germany will go to the quarter finals at least. They have Cacau, if he gets time he will score a few goals. Their keepers are great, even tho Adler is injured. Müller, Kroos and Kiessling have had great seaons. The only slightly weak part is the centre backs. If you go by UEFA then Bundesliga is 4th, however, they will pass Serie A next year and get 4 CL places. Financially it's the most healthy out of all top leagues (might be interesting to know).

Of course I agree that Lahm is an excellent back. But you're not going to win the WC with an excellent back alone. That was what I was trying to say. My wording was poor, sorry.

Jeffwilson99 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm betting on Serbia to do well, that team have been very impressive. Serbia did lose to NZ the other day... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouwzie Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Great atmosphere so far. Awesome opening ceremony. Hopefully The Netherlands will do great. Only bad thing is our goalkeeper I think. And even our defence is pretty good, especially Van Der Wiel <3: We will play against Denmark with Sneijder, Van der Vaart and Van Persie in the starting eleven, should be awesome.

Bouwzie Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yes, but there isn't a formation on the site. You can choose 4 defenders, but you cannot choose where to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouwzie Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Otherwise it would've been Ramos, Vidic, Some guy and Lahm I think, from RB to LB. Perhaps Lucio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l0rd Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'll be in Peru during most of this. Never been to Peru, and I know they aren't competing. Does anyone know how wild the whole soccer scene might be when I'm there?

I figure they'll still be going for another South American country. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Lateralus Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Gourcuff is looking very lively so far. Looks like he was a good pick for my team. La lune ne garde aucune rancune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
