Really lacking in strikers too other than Timo Werner. :hhh:

Tbh they haven't really been producing a pool of #9's for a long time. You can name the decent to good ones on 1 hand since 2000. Majority of the #9 that do well in Bundesliga since 2000 cannot play for the NT. Claudio Pizzaro was still play in the Bundesliga till he retired in the summer at 41 :mjlol:

Yeah, Klose and Mario Gomez are the last good German 9s I can think of. I just took a look at the top 10 Bundesliga scorers from last year and other than Werner, there were 2 other German strikers, Florian Niederlechner of Augsburg and Rouwen Hennings of Dusseldorf but they were both olders guys on shyt teams. They seem to mainly specialize in wingers and attacking midfielders these days.


I remember seeing Claudio Pizarro's name in the early FIFAs as a kid back when MLS players were on the North American cover :heh:

Damn Venezuela really beat Chile.

I haven't seen the squads. But I'm going to take a guess and say Chile squad is :flabbynsick: and still relying on the core players from 5 years ago. And Venezuela squad is younger and made up of the players who made the u20 world cup final in 17

Think you're right in regards to Chile.
