Re: Is Manuel Neuer Germany best player..?

Well yeah, but that's because Di Vaio is a mere mortal, while Podolski is basically a taller, stronger Messi who doesn't do tricks because he doesn't need or want to.

Also Podolskis shots with his left can kill a yak from two hundred yards away. FACT.

2011 German Player of the Year award:
1. Manuel Neuer (210 votes)
2. Mario Gomez (190)
3. Nuri Sahin (Borussia Dortmund, 142)
4. Mario Götze (Borussia Dortmund, 101)
5. Mesut Ozil (Real Madrid, 86)
6. Mats Hummels (Borussia Dortmund, 43)
7. Raul (Schalke, 27)
8. André Schürrle (Mainz, 25)
9. Marco Reus (Borussia Mönchengladbach, 22)
10. Arjen Robben (18)

I love how they claim Neuer as a Bayern player in this poll by not posting an alternate club next to his votes tally, yet a decent portion of this award was probably granted because of two masterclasses against Bayern (first Bundesliga encounter, DFB Pokal), and they still list Schürrle as a player of Mainz 05 rather than Bayer Leverkusen despite the same exact situation Laughing

So much love for Podolski on this site. What a shame that his own club doesn't look as highly upon him as everyone else does.

I don't know what happened at Köln, but tbh I think by now Podolski probably has more pull with the fans and the leadership than Solbakken has, so it could be a risky move, but I can actually imagine that Poldi was asked and then voluntarily gave up the armband. He's not really a leader, I mean he'll get people pumped and motivated, but he doesn't give tactical advice, that's not his schtick.

that was his weird twin-brother. at the time lukas was in the hospital, checking on schwarzer's disfigured hand.

Podolski doesn't have to wear the armband to be Captain.

He's already Master of the Universe.
