Both decisions were good, even though they were probably wrong, because bayern lol. There's like a million overall accumulated karma-years of Bayerndusel and today atoned for maybe two days of that. gently caress off to bayern forever, imho

Boy, I sure am glad Felix Zwayer is gonna be Germany's representative as a VAR at the World Cup. What a fairy tale story, he bounced back so quickly after accepting bribes for manipulating games and being banned for six months.

Bayern losing is good, Bayern losing because the refs hosed them is even better. Unfortunately they had to lose to Frankfurt, who are also cunts so idk where to stand on this

It's hard to say. I feel like we always seem to struggle in the buildup and then the pieces come together.

Schweinsteiger will helicopter in at the last moment and ultimately lift the trophy.

It's hard to see Germany not top the group because the other three teams seem pretty evenly matched but possibly one of them could get 6 or 7 points and overtake Germany in goal difference. In that case the round of 16 opponent would be Brasil. Going out in the Round of 16 might even mean Löw quitting maybe?

It might not be a bad thing in the long run tbh, but maybe Löw will be done soon either way so whatever hopefully we repeat. I'd almost rather an embarrassing exit over a boring run and then loss in the semis or whatever.

A shameful performance and group stage exit is basically the only way for Löw to leave since he just signed a new contract.

Tbh people have been saying this since 2012 but Löw is doing very well and consistency in managing teams seems a bit underrated imo. Going to the final in a tournament with lots of good teams like that is just not something that you can expect every time. Reaching the semifinal six times in a row in EM/WM is a fully sick achievement and I'd say Löw has done pretty well adjusting after failures like the semifinal vs Italy so is still pretty in touch with winning games and getting far in tournaments.
If you find it kind of boring to always know to expect a run to semifinals maybe we should bring back the good times playing of like rubbish and getting knocked out in a quarterfinal to Bulgaria/Croatia that we had in the 90s :cool:

It's basically a crime against football that we got into the 2006 2002 World Cup final.

I'm not saying there are not better managers, but we could do far worse. And it's partly out of the hands of the manager anyway, since it's difficult to expand the player pool they can choose from.

Edit: I'm dumb and can't remember dates :downs:

Thanks for catching that!

We were basically taking advantage of the refs clearing an easy path for South Korea to at least get into the semi-final.
