My God, it's only soccer. Do you have to be so offensive about it? I always thought that sports should unite people and not lead to people bashing each other's heads in.

Bones wrote on 20/06/2018 at 19:20: Please don't come to me with statistics
How often Özil has played the penultimate pass is not even recorded there. I played soccer myself for so long, also more or less high class. Of course Özil is not at the height of his game and has not played the game of his life, but who has. The invisible Müller, Übersteiger-Ball-weg-Draxler or Khedira? It's absurd to blame Özil in particular. Personally, I wouldn't necessarily let him play in every game either, but still rather than a Brandt. It's also all a question of tactics. As long as Germany relies on short passing and combination soccer through the center, Özil is actually indispensable. Perhaps a Goretzka could still accompany this position similarly well, that would certainly be an option. With a more wing-heavy and faster game, Özil would not be absolutely necessary. However, he simply fits into Löw's system and therefore plays. The national coach certainly knows these statistics and as every player confirms, there is hardly a more meticulous coach in preparation and follow-up. He has his reasons for letting Özil play, even if many can't understand that because they only perceive straddling and bolting at the goal.
Edit: Since the Swedes will stand with 10 men in the penalty area for the most part, Özil will probably play again. Fast and counter-attacking players will rarely be able to show their skills in the next game. Instead, it needs technically strong players who can play decisive passes in tight spaces and also players who can tie up defenders to open up the space. That's why a Müller will also be very important for the next game. However, I think Reus will be allowed to start from the beginning, which I think is good, because I think Reus is a much better footballer than Draxler.
Stochastics, you should know......
If a player was often sick, or was hardly used, how should he then have match practice, and play well,
as you say?
Not the game of his life?
I don't think you can get much more understated than that.
He has his reasons......
The only thing I see is that he didn't learn any lessons from the last two test matches.
This defeat had definitely been apparent beforehand.
You can do without Özil, quite easily.
He lacks even the most basic qualities such as discipline, fight and initiative.
As a former soccer player, you should know that!

Fighting and team spirit and motivation can be huge factors in a soccer game. Especially if you are the underdog. Back then, in the village club, we dismantled the C-youth of VFB Stuttgart 3:0 in the semifinals of a Tournament, of course they were much stronger than us, quite a few of these players are in the Bundesliga today. There was fighting spirit decisive, discipline less, because if we had played disciplined the given tactics then 2 of the 3 goals would not have fallen.
But now Germany is playing against Sweden and Sweden is really not on the same level in terms of quality. And Sweden is stonewalling. Today technical precision will be very decisive, as well as tactical understanding. Regardless of whether you try to cross to Gomez or through combinations into the surely densely occupied center, a player who can play passes like Özil can decide a game like that. Toni Kroos is certainly brilliant in this respect, but I like Özil even more in tight spaces. He hasn't played a great season, nor a particularly bad one, but he has the skills that matter today. But if he doesn't play, that can also be compensated for.

He definitely didn't play a good season, why should it be different now?
He didn't set any accents, but that's something I expect from such a player.
If he only plays well when everyone plays well, that's great, but witless.
From such a player I expect a wake-up call, he is one of the most experienced. But he went down like almost everyone else.
Scheden has once made against us a game with 4:0 lead a 4:4.
What you say about motivation is absolutely right. But I see it more with Sweden.
They have seen that a world champion is easy to beat.
They'll unleash everything they've got in the knowledge that they'll qualify for the round of 16.
I see Sweden as having a slight psychological advantage.
They have no pressure, so if they lose, it's no big deal.
Joachim Löw sits on the bench the once very quiet criticism has now all the pants full and the German Turk can shine today in this sense after the wm Mr. Löw must take his hat and resign
Courage must be rewarded and not punished
What should the German youth think of this action
Germany will win today sovereignly even if Mats would play with neck brace
It would be negligent to let Mats Hummels play. Sending a player with cervical vertebrae problems into a game that could be decided by eternal head-to-head duels? Then it would be better to play with Süle. He can do that too, the classic duel will perhaps be less decisive today than heading balls out and in. Depending on how Sweden plays, an Özil can make a lot of sense today or less. I think everyone assumes that Sweden will draw a wall at the back and only rarely play offensively in possession phases or in counterattack attempts. With a crowded center, the occasional pass behind Kroos' line or between Özil's lines may be the only weapon, unless you want to consistently bolt at goal for 90 minutes via long-range shots. Löw has been talking about narrow spaces for years, and although he's right, I think he's taking this philosophy too far. Using Götze as a center forward because of his ball retention and technical strength in narrow spaces was the flawed consequence of this back then. I would like to see Gomez and Goretzka play from the start today.
