World Cup 2018 FIFA World Cup-Group F Thread (Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea)

[Wolfs]

Sane got the drop.

My boy Platte got in. He won't start though

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Sane doesn't make the cut

That's insane.

 

[Cruyff14]

Sane doesn't make the cut

That is actually ridiculous.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

That's insane.

 

[Wolfs]

That's insane.

It is crazy.

Reckon their starting XI

Neuer
Hector, Hummels, Boateng, Kimmich
Khedira, Kroos
Draxler, Ozil, Muller
Werner

Sane got the drop.

That squad is absolutely phenomenal. It looks like the world cup winning one and best among them all.

 

[Macpotata]

Just had a look and Germany are $2 to make the semi's and the French at $2.25. Should they both top their group they can avoid each other until the final. I think these two are the best bets to make the semi's.

Germany looks so solid.

 

[Macpotata]

$1.45 to reach the quarters too looks solid.

 

[Wolfs]

I love like I said before Platte being picked. Makes it the 3rd Hertha player picked (Leckie & Haraguchi) but his free kicks has dropped off a little. I wonder if he'll get some PT if Germany win their 1st 2 games and they don't have to worry about dropping to 2nd.

 

[Macpotata]

It is crazy.

Reckon their starting XI

Neuer
Hector, Hummels, Boateng, Kimmich
Khedira, Kroos
Draxler, Ozil, Muller
Werner

Holy *en s**t. I was already foreseeing a similar scoreline to the confed cup when Germany meets Mexico and co this time around. That team and squad leaves no doubt, if there was 0.1 percent of it before hand.

That's as good as a team I've seen on paper at the world cup. Sane goes for their squad too. I mean same

 

[Donnie Darko]

Sane had a massive season and can fill afew different roles.
Very surprised to see him left out.

 

[go you pups]

So many anti-Ter Stegen melts here

Will be interesting to see how Neuer goes considering his long lay off

Ridiculous that Sane was excluded, can play either wing, dynamic, makes no sense

Too many players picked on reputation imo

 

[Jatz]

Amazing that Sane was left out. Huge call. Even if you didn't start him, surely deserved a bench spot.

 

[Magma]

reportedly didnt fit in tactically, which is understandable. plays a different way for club and when he played for country he supposedly didn't fit the way low wanted. still a kid though.

 

[Jatz]

Oh absolutely, lots of international football ahead of him. Even if he didn’t fit the tactic though, I thought he might have made a good sub option in the last 30 mins if they needed a goal.

 

[Macpotata]

germany 1-0 saudi arabia 15 min in. Will be a repeat of 2002 if the germans want. How much they win by is up to them. They might just be in cruise control once they get 3-4 up.

 

[Macpotata]

Germany 2-1. They were in Kroos control

 

[Fabab]

A few premature ejaculations there from previous posters ,Germany to top the group the other three pick up the scraps for second.
Germany are at the pointy end of most tournaments but they haven’t really freshened up the starting 11 imho.
Wouldn’t be a surprise if they win it but not for me,therefore load up boys and girls.

 

[The City Boyz]

Mexico to finish a long last

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Mexico to finish a long last

Why?

 

[The City Boyz]

Why?

Haven't had the best of preparations and their squad isn't a particularly strong one

 

[Jatz]

Haven't had the best of preparations and their squad isn't a particularly strong one

Would still be stronger than Sweden and South Korea’s though.

 

[Macpotata]

Mexico the 2nd round specialists since 1994.

6 world cups, 6 - 2nd round appearances.

 

[go you pups]

Germany Mexico the SBS game tomorrow night

Might stay up for it, could be interesting

Germany Mexico the SBS game tomorrow night

Worth it for Germanys masterclass alone
