Nationalmannschaft slowly going up the gears as the tournament progresses. You just sense that it will be a first showdown against England on French soil since 1944/45 in Marseille on 7 July.
Never, ever write off the Germans. I expect them to be England’s biggest obstacle in this tournament.
The likely semi final match up between the old rivals in Marseille will be just epic.
Starting XI to face Italy: Neuer; Hector, Howedes, Hummels, Khedira, Ozil, Müller, Boateng, Kroos, Kimmich, Gomez
First time Nationalmannschaft have led the Mommy Boys in a tournament game since Gerd Muller scored at the Azteca Stadium in the 1970 World Cup semin final. They’ll hardly let it slip from here.
You’re making a habit of it at this stage
Never ever write off the Germans.
Starting XI to face France tonight:
Neuer, Hector, Howedes, Boateng, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Draxler, Muller, Can, Kroos, Kimmich
Hummels, Gomez and Khedira all absent but would expect there’s still enough there to overcome the surrender monkeys.
Good choice of colour on those shorts tonight.
Good shout mate
Good shout mate.
Is there an echo in here?
It was a bit like Stalingrad for the injury ravaged world champions. They ultimately ran out of men.
The World Champions about to get their title defense under way.
They’re never beaten. What a wonderful soccer nation they are.
They don’t want to get bogged down in Russia .
Signing in.
In.
Hummels, Kroos and Mueller to roll back the years.
Uber alles
The architects of the modern Europe….3 political titans. Up the Huns…
