He missed 3/4 of a year with a leg injury, was named in the Germany team and then the Olympic team but had to pull out with a reoccurring shoulder injury, he made the Germany 2014 WC squad but had to pull out with injury...

AVFC_Hitz Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm watching this on German television because, you know, I can. Thomas Hitzlsperger is in the studio sporting what what looks like tracky bottoms and bright white trainers. The sexy bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 The VAR trials at the Confederations Cup has been a huge success according to FIFA President Gianni Infantino So I guess it's settled then. Next stop will be challenges and yellow flags. To be followed by quarters, commercial breaks, and a FIFA controlled "War room" no doubt. God I hate FIFA.

villa4europe Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 ITV declared it a success today because it was used to rightly give Portugal a pen the fact that it was an all Dwyer and easy decision that should never have needed VAR was missed, so was the fact that Mexico should have had a pen for a push at the end but again Portugal benefitted from a bizarre lack of review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Was Ronaldo injured during the 3rd place play off? Injured or does he only want the cameras on him when he can win first prize? Noticed he put himself in the order of taking the potential winning penalty against Chile. Word removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Chile compared to England is what a well ran international team can do. Sanchez and Vidal aside England have a better pool of players but while Chile are so fluid England are all over the place. Isla, Vargas, Jara and Beausejour are all vital squad members and they are barely Championship level players from their time in England 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it's the price you pay when you don't produce big physical players so have to play short stocky midfielders in central defence. Been interesting watching Rudiger this half considering he's being linked with 40m moves to the prem. Tough and reads the danger but he's so ungainly when in possession of the ball and frequently just smashes the ball aimlessly forward when under pressure. Perfect premier league defender then, reminds me a lot of Mamadou Sakho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I love watching them but Uruguay and Paraguay both got further in world cups and both have smaller populations. Might help if Chile don't get Brazil in round of 16 for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I don't think he's any better than mustafi personally but when you've got rudiger, mustafi, Hummel, boateng, ginter, howedes, then sule, tag, gerhardt, baumgartl, stark, kempf all coming through and then maybe even badstuber staying fit...not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Wow, one of the most blatant red card offences in the history of professional football not only does the referee miss it, after being drawn to it by the video ref he watches it on the screen and then gives a yellow.

PaulC Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Why is the ref making the decision it should be down to the 4th official. it just wastes time. Improper use of the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
