Sure thing, I totally "believe" you, Margaret Thatcher.

Yeah, I've got a lot of reasons to hate Germans. I actually defend germany in this time of hate towards them because of the economical tensions between south european countries and germany.

If you want to call him a flat track bully then go ahead and do that but you're saying he's a flop when he clearly isn't.

So, now stats are all that matter in Goallegacy.

Even if I were wrong (I'm not so far) I would never bow down to Flopolski.

No one is saying that because he is playing OK. At least whenever I've seen him play he is and he has won Arsenal some games. I'm not sure what the issue is here because he clearly isn't "flopping"

If you have other criticisms then by all means, feel free to voice your opinion but don't call him something he isn't.

I wish we had more flop players like Podolski.

Especially his 2nd. (1:40)

Oliver Bierhoff is such a nob cheese

Again time gives me the reason. Flopolski.

this guy actually thinks Gurdiola is one of the main reasons that won the WC

a spanish coach who lead a champions league winning german team to a humiliating semi final elimination is exactly what Germany needed to win their 4th world cup .

Cause Germany didn't play at all similar to Spain or Pep's Barça/Bayern. Everyone noticed it even in Germany.

they did up to a certain point .
the 4-3-3 , Lahm in midfield , false nine etc .. it almost cost them against Algeria .

the moment they went back to their usual 4-2-3-1 and played the direct football they're known for , they cruised to the final .
everybody noticed the switch after the Algeria game .

and since you mentioned Spain ,funny how Guardiola fans rarely mention Aragones' role in Barça's tactics and success .

I can confirm the outrage at those stupid tactics which somehow works (only) against Bundesfodder (unsurprisingly).

You are talking like Guardiola played with a 433 with Gotze as false nine at Bayern and he seldom did. He mostly played with a 4231. Anyway, what Guardiola brought to the table wasn't really about formations or positions to play Lahm or Gotze, but the way of playing football, having the ball, how to attack, how to defend... and in that regard, Germany 2014 was trademark Guardiola, unlike the Germany that was defeated by Spain in the previous tournaments.

So, you are welcome for lending you the missing piece to win a WC.

the way Pep's barça and spain played the ball ?
so sitting deep and giving up possession for 60 minutes to the likes of Pogba and Matuidi after a slender 1-0 lead is a Pep Guardiola thing too ? that's how prime Barça approached games like that ?

also , Guardiola played mostly  4-1-4-1 that season .
he also preferred Lahm over Piggy in midfield  , the latter ended up being an integral part in Germany's double pivot . thanks Guardiola
he also rarely ( if never ) played Kroos behind the striker , Tony ended GOATing in the tournament .

Pep almost cost us the damn thing. I can confirm. Took his agent role too far. He was installed to ruin Bayern, not Germany.

Any one who thinks Guradiola had any positive part whatsoever to play in Germany's WC is far below the intellectual levels which merit an honest, non-troll response. Please go.

Lol leave Pep alone , the dude is not German coach .

2 CL's and 2 WC's, what a coach

lmfao I forgot about Idri/Messiah
