How did Reus get injured? Don't understand why players go all out in these Pre-WC friendlies. I would be avoiding contact as much as possible if I were certain of a starting spot.

Oscar is so bad

by Nishankly Fri Jun 06, 2014 8:41 pm

Matic is class, He's standing out in a scrub team vs Brazil

Ivanovic also doing well so far.

Hopefully it's nothing serious.

even in friendlies marcelo find ways to be horrible, awful positioning as always, he will never learn

@Gil

Reus was hit in the ankle and then rolled (?) his ankle. (In German we say "umknicken" when the foot is put wrongly onto the ground. This "umknicken" is just how it looks like, to say "sprained" to me sounds like a diagnosis already).

twisted?

Sounds bad. Hope he's alright.

Hm. Well, possibly. I checked LEO.de and it said "roll" as verb. But twisted could probably work, too.

Marco Reus is on the way to the hospital. Right now there is no idea yet how bad it is.

What a goal Schurrle, lulz podolski celebration.

by Gil Fri Jun 06, 2014 8:56 pm

Schurrle's record for Germany is absolutely insane for someone who for the most part, is a bit-part player.

Podolski's delivery from the left Thumbs up

by elitedam Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:03 pm

That Luiz Gustavo, Paulinho, and Oscar midfield has been awful. What the hell is up with Oscar? I'm hoping he'll give the second half to Willian and Fernandinho.

Also, awful news about Reus. I hope it's not too serious.

by RealGunner Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:04 pm

Podolski is such a Klose when it comes to National team

Should be Gevorg Ghazaryan from Metalurg Donezk, if I saw that right.

Not a fan of the Gustavo and Paulinho double pivot... Hope Scolari starts Fernandinho for Pauliho, I doubt it will happen

Also Julio Cesar WILL BE THE REASON Brazil don't win the WC :coffee:

by rwo power Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:10 pm

Kevin Großkreutz :facepalm:

by Nishankly Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:10 pm

Told you the no10 was good.. wins a penalty.

*g* I guess Weide will tell Mikhi something when they are back in Dortmund Very Happy

by RealGunner Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:12 pm

Awful awful defending by Bastian and Kroos. Both tried to press the same play, he completely ruined both of them and it was 4 on 4 all of a sudden.

They really need a proper DM.

by Tomwin Lannister Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:12 pm

These pre-season friendlies

Way too damaging, Monty broken bones

Reus looks screwed

Alex Chamberlain might be screwed. Somebody from Ivory coast too. And probably a few i've missed.

by rwo power Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:13 pm

Prince Poldi :bow:
