Personally I would just like to see us concede as few goals as possible, other than that I don't really care about the outcome. Of course winning is always sweeter, not going to lie.

Well, the German NT already has an excuse if they don't win - we play without Neuer, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Podolski and Gomez

BTW, pity about the Mehring lad. He doesn't look assured at all and then he got 5 goals in.

ROFL. Bernd Leno gets a cool shower from the sprinklers XD And Rudy uses it to freshen up a bit...

He just got exposed, he kept rushing out and the Germans just shot past him or ran around him

He has potential though, but still clearly has a long way to go.

I just hope he can recover fast from that beating. It is never nice to have to take the ball out of your own net so often.

Now he was lucky, though ^^

Yeah hopefully he doesn't take this loss too harshly and learns from it and grows as a player.

I feel bad for Iturbe, this team is not playing well at all.

The Germans look great though, even the lesser known players have some good qualities and they have great teamwork.

Yeah, Iturbe looks like he has had enough of this now. AS for the German team, they have won all 8 qualifiers for the U21 Europe Cup so far, so the team is on a winning streak. And we have the advantage that we have a real goal keeper luxury problem. Even Marc-André ter Stegen is still eligible for the U21, and he is now already called up for the seniors...

Dear me, I really pity the Argentinian GK youngster. He really deserves a hug.

Germany= Argentine's nemesis in internationals

6-1
Kevin Volland

FT
Germany U21 6-1 Argentina U21

Albi, how do you do? Long time no see
Tomorrow, the real showdown will take place

No excuses... Excuses are for losers. We have our speedy attackers ready to see their card house defence crumble at the looks of slight wind from our attack.
BAD-stuber doesn't strike confidence in and Mats is just as slow. I see a high scoring match on both ends. In the end, we'll win with 1+ goal to troll the Argies again
From people you mentioned only Lahm's loss will hurt in any way. Kroos is good enough to run the show by himself, we have abundance of good GKS, Podolski and Gomez are better off on the bench

Good to hear. I'm doing well. I work during the day
I'm also geared towards the next season. I don't troll or open any controverse threads for now Time to collect info...

Well, I think peeps won't take it seriously at the start then Argentine will score. It'll be 1-1 or similar in half-time. After that, Germany will go all out. Löw has to save his face from the garbage he did in EC2012

I think it will be a pretty high intensity match as well.

Anyway why is Zieler getting the nod instead of Ter Stegen? Ter Stegen is surely better no? Maybe that's a question better suited to RWO

Either way it's better than Neuer playing that's for sure

ter Stegen is too young. You know I want Higgy to rape BAD-stuber until he is subbed off. That way Höwedes will finally start, Germany's best defender by far.

#SaveusHiggy

That U-21 display was horrendous, I fear for the future is that is any indicator of the best Argentina has to offer. Even if Germany is a good team, losing by such a large margin is inexcusable.

Messi will rape so much tomorrow You guys will see....

Romero
Zabaleta, Fernández, Garay y Rojo
Sosa, Mascherano, Gago, Di María
Messi, Higuaín



Why call up Coloccini if you're going to start Fernandez?

Sosa?! Rojo?!

I'm getting prepared for another demolishing

Pretty predictable lineup from Sabella

Hopefully Gagod will have a GOAT game.

I wonder why Higuain is starting, oh well Kun is a great super sub.

Predicting a 3-2 victory for Argentina

Yeah idk why I'm outraged, it's exactly what I should have expected.

Albiceleste wrote:Anyway why is Zieler getting the nod instead of Ter Stegen? Ter Stegen is surely better no? Maybe that's a question better suited to RWO

From what I read it seems that Ron-Robert Zieler and Marc-André ter Stegen will each play one half in the match.

Albiceleste wrote:Either way it's better than Neuer playing that's for sure

Well, both Zieler and ter Stegen are not half bad either

The game was a joke, it was the German U21 vs an Argentinean U18 Team!
Trobiani wasn't able to select his U20 team because they will have to play a friendly tournament in spain that is not an official Fifa tournament so the clubs didn't want to release their players !!

Brasil x Sweden about to start.

I guess I'll watch this until the real match comes on

German starting line-up:

Zieler
Boateng - Hummels - Badstuber - Schmelzer
Lars Bender - Khedira
Müller - Özil - Reus
Klose

Gagod to dominate

Who else would you have expected? Sven Bender had surgery these days and Schweinsteiger was playing against SV Seligenporten today. Toni Kroos is often too lazy and Ilkay Gündogan is still too green.

Kroos?

Oops, edited the above - Toni Kroos is often too lazy and possibly too slow to deal with the Argentinians.

That goal was onside for Nerman

Nerman Such Creativity Brazil need to finish better

Nerman Come to CITY!!!!

Dafuq, no Höwedes or Kroos.
