Basically it's their B to C-Team...
Missing:
Kroos
Müller
Özil
Boateng
Hummels
Reus
Götze
Khedira
Neuer
Gündogan
Weigl
Sane
Kruse
Gomez
Schürrle
Etc.

And on top of that, from this team now playing could like seven, eight players play the U21 EM tournament where another team is heading to the final against spain.
They have insane about of depth i there national pool. I swear i love to manage germany on Football manager. You can never lack any good or decent players with germany. Thats what happens when you have a competitive league that helps the local players more then the foreign ones unlike EPL.

Thats why other countries like France, Spain,Italy,German national teams have talent, their own players play regular football in their own league

German team always had some serious depth and this puts things into perspective

Deschamps tho :snoop:
They haven't really come up with a system that would allow them to win. At the Euros they had enough talent to win but when Pogba was dropping deeper into midfield as if he was Pirlo they looked lost. Spain and Germany could build off the chemistry of Bayern and Barcelona players as well as guys who had been in the NT for a long time. France is driven by individual talent more than actual strategy, if Italy had those players they would probably have won the tournament.

As bad as it can make for the leagues with only 1 or 2 dominant teams, Spain and Germany having the majority of their star players playing at home and for the big clubs seems to transition well when it comes time for international duty. They've played so many game together that they gel always.

This "ready aim fire" guy on FS1 is horrible, does he really think freekicks are converted at such a high rate to give that build up:scust:
Germany has insane depth though ,the post 2006 era has been good for them it changed how they play too. France,Germany and Spain are working with gold, Spain are just having trouble transitioning from the Xavi/Iniesta,Xabi era to a new one but they have a some gems.
Meanwhile Brazil :sadcam:

Wish South American teams could do this like Brazil. :mjcry:

Very good. Stars in England, average players English media has over hyped. Thats why I keep saying the EPL is competitive because the top teams are just not good enough. You see how your local stars performed in the UCL?
England in general hasn't been competitive in ucl for a long time :francis:
