France coach Deschamps files legal complaint against Nasri's girlfriend after she insulted him on twitter.

You can complain about people insulting you?

Depends. You can sue someone for libel if they imply that you're a racist... which is what she did. It's more about making sure that it doesn't become a habit for the entourage of players to say whatever they want against the manager/federation. It will get dropped later. Just a warning shot basically.

For those of you still curious as to how Nainggolan got left out by Belgium.

A decent write up on the situation from Chiesa di Totti's Belgian writer:

Uh-oh. Manuel Neuer left the office of Dr.Müller-Wohlfahrt today with his right arm in a sling - so it looks as if his injury from the cup match was a bit more serious as hoped.

Diego Costa could miss the World Cup, according to AS.

Bruised Acromioclavicular joint (i e shoulder) and a slight strain of the capsules is the official statement so far.

by rwo power Mon May 19, 2014 4:58 pm

Well, I hope he will be 100% fine ASAP. *keeps fingers crossed*

by futbol Mon May 19, 2014 6:13 pm

Time for ter Stegen to shine.

by El Gunner Mon May 19, 2014 6:26 pm

Ohh, the German hopes when Neuer's injury is serious and prevents him from playing WC. Surprised

Doesn't really matter when they come up against Spain. Result will be the same. :coffee:

He will be when Neuer pulls out. hmm

by rwo power Mon May 19, 2014 7:01 pm

Well, *if* Manuel Neuer would be out, it is well possible that Bernd Leno would be called up as replacement and not Marc-André ter Stegen. But I really hope that Manu Neuer will be fine for the World Cup.

by Arquitecto Mon May 19, 2014 7:04 pm

Leno as the potential starter for Deutschland.... Laughing

They'd be lucky to get out of the groups by then.

Biggest scrub keeper I have ever seen. I have no idea why he is spoken of so highly by Bundi fans. Laughing

I mean he's decent yet given the hype behind him; it's served to expose his obvious limits and howling bloopers.

Tee Stegen is talented yet is not the lion he is for Münchengladbach as he is for Germany, to put it nicely.

Quite frankly I'm baffled Adler isn't the automatic repaplacement for Neuer as hes far above the rest of these fantasy choices.

as a third choice most likely hmm

hard to assume that anyone other than the two GK's already selected in the squad will be starting if manu misses out.

Well, ter Stegen has now officially signed for a big international club. By Löw logic he can be a starter now. :coffee:

This season, René Adler was pretty much a security risk and responsible for quite some goals against the HSV. He is so off form atm, that both Bernd Leno and Marc-André ter Stegen would be a way better option. (Oh, and René Adler has serious back problems at the moment, which is why Drobny played the relegation matches.)

by Arquitecto Mon May 19, 2014 7:45 pm

That's a skewed view considering if not for Adler, HSV would be relegated more than a month ago as a few sketchy mistakes should not rule him out, ESPECIALLY considering both Leno and Ter Stegen had average seasons and the fact that are unproven for Germany, compared to Adler who has been solid for the white.

He's simply in all standard the best and most reliable replacement for Neuer as I see it.
