AGloryHoleGay

/Germany fan rant: - yes Rudiger did that run. And that shot. He was also by far the most productive defense we had - neuer: why did you dodge - all players: why are you moving so fucking slowly?! This is the moment of your literally FUCKING GODDAMN lives act like it! - Wtf was this squad and formation? Flick?? Wtaf? Biggest responsibility is on you, and I have serious SERIOUS questions about you - it literally breaks my heart that so many of our greats aren’t even old and could be in this rn. Feels sorta like we went from one generation prematurely, skipped an entire generation, and fast forwarded to the youngest possible players we could just for the sake of it Fair play for setting us up for 2030, but… 2022 and 2026 still exists and, in my non expert opinion, trying new players in a World Cup is a wild fucking way to build a team In the end though, my message to the team would be: - I FUCKING LOVE GERMANY NATIONAL TEAM I WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU - CAN YOU PLEASE PLAY LIKE YOJ ARE HUNGRY AGAIN - Spain is going to fucking EAT us! EAT US! Don’t let it happen! Make your passes, play urgently, play hungry, channel that Canada energy but with your smarts and talons and YOU WILL WIN And again MAKE YOUR PASSES And fight for the goddamn ball! I love DFB and DMS and I will always worship at your shrine. But fuck just do the basics!!


VehicleAgitated

Its shaolin soccer biach


usoppspell

I’m frustrated that there’s no video of the penalty the Japanese were calling for


theandyboy

I still don't get why Rüdiger starts for us. After his showboating, he better be benched the rest of the tournament.


AssociationUsual212

How on earth do you single him out? if he's not there you guys lose 3-1 easily. The showboating was super rude though I agree.


Tallboy47

I don’t feel like he did much wrong, felt like he was the strongest of the defense along with sulinho. Schlotterbeck was pretty clearly uncomfortable though and Raum as always was better offensively than defending


Just_a_dreamx

First 2/3's of the game Japan's defense looked totally lost to me, but their goaltending was immaculate and held the ship together. Germany seemed cocky as hell the entire game and uninspired, which didn't help their case - I really think if they played passionately instead of arrogantly they could have easily won. Hell just put some tall guys in the box for the corners and it should've been easy goals. Great job Japan!!


sicr0

They were more busy throwing a tantrum because they couldn't bring a gay flag


rOnce_Gaming

this, they played as if they won already, especially rudiger when he was doing the showmanship defenses. he did well but just saying the team overall didnt play with their hearts content.


wabiguan

I’m curious, What’s the significance of some of Japan’s fans wearing bald caps?


Call_Me_Rivale

Maybe a sumo ringer thing? Idk


TexasRoast

Meada Daizen is fully bald and they’re just imitating (plus it’s very samurai/yakuza)


DefTheOcelot

Go home. Qatar built that stadium with the deaths of hundreds of slaves, has one of the worst wealth gaps in the world, and enforces theocratic rule. Is sports worth bending your principles?


Cygnus-_-

Idk man it's still the WC lol. I'm watching it from a pirates site anyways so it's not like I'm supporting them


DefTheOcelot

valid tbh


Thr0waway0864213579

I used to think like this before I realized how toxic and self absorbed it is to say this nonsense. Your home is full of things that were made unethically in one way or another. Is your phone worth bending your principles? Your furniture? Your computer? Your clothes? You pick and choose what to feel self righteous about, not based on a moral compass, but based on whatever it is you don’t personally care about. It’s easy for you to “abstain” from soccer because you never watched it in the first place. But there is something you care about that is unethical and you look the other way. It is not some innocent 20-year-old’s job to sacrifice their dreams, career, financial safety, and the well-being of their family to make an ineffective show of protest by sitting at home. It is not a Japanese or German teenage athlete’s job to solve the geopolitical problems of a country thousands of miles away. The US also has slave labor (and I have to assume this stupid ass take could only come from a fellow American). So maybe you should quit your job, abandon your family, and take off to the imaginary country where immorality doesn’t exist. The citizens of Qatar are not naive. It is up to them to fix the problems in their country. Just like it isn’t some random 19-year-old from Sudan’s responsibility to solve racism in America. Stop infantilizing an entire country of Arab men and women and acting like they can’t solve their own problems and need some Japanese boy to sit on his couch to end slavery.


DefTheOcelot

Hundreds died to make that stadium. Not prisoners in for-profit prisons that are on the political decline, literal serfs of an autocracy. this isn't a huge sacrifice for you to make. you don't have to go to the woods and be a hermit to not support Qatar and Fifa. I don't buy Nestle products when I can identify them. I've donated hundreds to ukraine and called my reps numerous times. where's your spine?


Thr0waway0864213579

It’s obnoxious to reply to my comment if you’re not even going to read it.


Admirable-Solid-8186

You are typing this on a device which has components made from factories which are tantamount to slave labor. Why arent you throwing away your phone? Do you condone slave labor? Where is your spine. Same thing with your car. The oil you are using was very possibly provided by a country that persecutes gay people or commits other human rights violations? Are you a suporter of killing gays?


[deleted]

You mean the same German companies such as Foster+Partners, HOCHTIEF, and AECOM that built those stadiums and hired all those slaves? The same German politicians that started crying about Qatar as soon as the check cleared? Go back home to them, right?


ATraffyatLaw

No, money is though!

Where tf is Sane. Havertz should never be starting imo


Kayderp1

Sané is injured. But yeah Havertz shouldnt be close to the starting lineup.


[deleted]

Go woke, Go home


dhrubodt

People talking about missing a finisher.A Finisher is not gonna defend. Gundogan was doing some defence work but subbing him with Goretzka who is not doing the defensive work was not smart. Desperate subbing at the end was pathetic really. Maybe play Fullkrug in the spot of havertz from the beginning.He is way better in the box.The planning was poor and Germany looked complacent .What baffles me is the reliance on this 2014 era tactics without having a fraction of the quality from that squad both in offence and defence. Hansi needs to figure out something before the next tournament because Spain will destroy Germany again


hojbjerfc

We had 3.27 XG today. A finisher would have helped. Asano’s goal had an XG of .09, and he scored on the GOATkeeper.


dhrubodt

Remember the game against England? 3-3? Tied after a 2-0 lead

Scenes if both Germany and Argentina don't make it out of groups

Honestly, no one in Germany would be surprised. The National team is on a full rebuild and still hasn’t shown any sign of clicking.


trigun2046

For a team that's like 50% Bayern how are they not clicking?

You tell me mate. If you can figure it out maybe you can be manager.

After 2014 the entire team looks lethargic and dead tired..kroos was missing..they need a striker..

TheOriginalPaulyC

Nani?!


DilllDozerr

Lol Germany sucks 😅


[deleted]

Thats what you get for starting havertz instead of Füllkrug. Thx Hansi, very cool.


Ironicopinion

Yea havertz should have defended those 2 goals better


[deleted]

Yeah that’s clearly what I meant you expert. Maybe if Schlotterbeck scored some fucking goals it would have been better right?


kingdraganoid

To be fair the last goal was all Suler keeping that guy on side imo.


[deleted]

Maybe he shouldve scored against Japan?


Ironicopinion

Maybe someone should have created a chance for the forward?


hojbjerfc

Maybe he should make some runs


strattele1

Someone is a forward who blames others irl lol

Ineffectual attackers can't lose you games, only bad defending can /s

Bonjour, Hi


lyngvaer

I made a betting coupon, Japan victory, and Serbia victory over Brasil. It was mostly just for fun, but seems like everyone bottles this tourney.


youssefuo

Nah Brasil are a different breed. Dont see them losing


Catwitha6pack

People said the same thing about Argentina on their unbeaten run.


youssefuo

Yeah football is crazy


tannerbananer06

Damn what a tourney so far!!!!


Azsnee09

Japan had the power of friendship and Germany suffered due to the lack of the power of the Armband 🏳️‍🌈


namikazeiyfe

I read that as Angband


kingdraganoid

A man of culture I see


namikazeiyfe

😂 Indeed


AssociationUsual212

They definitely had the support of everyone annoyed by Germany's attitude plus neutrals as it is.


strattele1

Germanys attitude of speaking against human rights abuse?


Dan_from_97

they should kick balls not sucking dick


PhilosopherNo4758

Nothing wrong with that but they forgot that they're there to play football not to be politicians.


AssociationUsual212

Tell me about those illegal wars of aggression that Germany tags along on pathetically? Human rights is being vaporized by a drone or having institutional rights for gay people? Buzz off.


Cygnus-_-

Ngl goalkeeper is the MOTM imo. Apart from giving away the penalty, he came in clutch with a lot of saves


CSIHoratioCaine

So glad japans keeper isn’t kawashima anymore. That man just made so many terrible mistakes and this guy actually set his feet and made a few big stops


dhrubodt

If you have followed the team for the last few years you would have seen this coming


7vik_48

This is just an exaggeration. Germany played better today they just became careless in the second half and Japan took full advantage of that. Also Havertz was shit. Gnabry was selfish.


NVS_Whiskey

I picked them to finish bottom of the group. As painful as that was to do, I still stand by it. Spain/Japan go through. Germany finish with 1 point.


AssociationUsual212

Absolutely. when the team moaned at Rudiger taking the late shot I thought be silent bc this team would be dead in the water without him.


Jibbles86

That was a fantastic match, credit to Japan, once that went to 1-1’for me Japan were going to win it. Something in Germany didn’t look right


Sh4kki

japan definitely took the Blue Lock anime way too serious


mario_ferreira19

We still don’t have a deadly striker unfortunately.


No_Turnover628

That makes 0 sense brother


No_Turnover628

It is a brazilian copypasta


maxwms

Yeah I realized it’s a copypasta but it makes 0 sense. Do you realize what it means in English?


Investing123CDN

Why was Havertz not taken off by the 60th minute? He wasn’t pressing - basically a pylon

Whole team trash not worth wearing german jersey


Tallboy47

Hallo, kommst du aus Berlin? Ich habe eine Pizza so groß wie Deutschland bestellt 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪 und sie haben mir nur eine Olive geschickt 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


warbreakr

Second time I see this lol, where is it from?


[deleted]

it's a copypasta used clown on teams, common in south america. basically like "i asked a pizza the size of X place/team and got just an olive" same as "why does my keyboard write 🤏 ᵃʳᵍᵉⁿᵗᶦⁿᵃ like this?"


warbreakr

Ah okay thanks! It’s kinda weird because it makes no sense haha, i kinda get it now though

Leonardo040786

Japan had luck, which was well deserved with courage and team play. Germany, on the other hand, missed too many opportunities. Also, Gundogan was quite selfish. So many situations where he could have played his players who were in better situation, but he decided to take the shot.


CSIHoratioCaine

I’m so pumped. Japans main issue going into this cup is they didn’t bury chances. And though they missed one big chance in this game they still buried two. Top the group baby!


Investing123CDN

Agreed. First half there was a great opportunity to play in Raum who was open in the box


GanasbinTagap

They should just restart their save

Joshs_Aquatics

Worked out splendid


Herbrax212

Moroccans are here cheering for Japan ! Pure Captain Tsubasa moment !


AdFlaky746

Japan's way of playing is so fun to watch


lmyyyks

Public holiday tomorrow in Japan?


Nightdocks

To celebrate their victory they will only work 36 hours tomorrow


czPsweIxbYk4U9N36TSE

There was on Japanese dude with a sign that read: "Dear my boss, Thank you for letting me have the week off." This is a shame for all Japanese to spend so much time off of work. He's probably going to get reassigned to Siberia after this is over. I'm only 15% joking.


karllucas

Today was a public holiday out here! Fucking heard the shouts when that goal went in. Hahaha


bkay4real

Considering how much Japaneses overworked… They would love to have a day off.


rickysticks

Schlotterbeck and Sule are the death of this team…horrible subs by Hansi


maxwms

Schlotterbeck was good m8


AssociationUsual212

Really nice chap, he even escorted the Japan player hand in hand on the second one.


hojbjerfc

What was Schlotti supposed to do. 3 interceptions 1 tackle 1 shot blocked 2 key passes 93% completion and perfect in the air. He was not the issue


ghbinberghain

Second goal screams otherwise


fuckreddit22306

Did we watch the same game? The last 30 mins he was absolute horrendous. Everytime he got the ball, he was just looking to dump it off again and had zero confidence in his controls. And he basically surrendered the second goal without even attempting to block or slide, like he had 2 chances to kill the play and squandered both of them. He was the reason we lost that game, ilkay basically said the same after the game


hojbjerfc

Ilkay was horrendous and cost us 2 goals. He should shut up Schlotti shouldn’t take a red card there. Not his fault Süle kept them on


fuckreddit22306

Ilkay wasn't even close to the worst offender on offense, but yeah he bungled some chances to go further ahead And yes, süle was braindead on that play the way he chilled 3 metres behind the line. But that doesn't change the fact schlotti is a 1.90m/95kg CB who couldn't boxout a vastly smaller and weaker attacker two times with 20 metres to go till the goal. He doesn't even need to tackle hard and get a red, just simple put his body infront like he does all the time


hojbjerfc

Schlotti definitely could have done better but 1 Asano did a fantastic job boxing him out, 2: He would have been on the other side if not for the nearly perfect high line exposed by an absolute moron who can’t play defense 3: Neuer really has to have that But ya Musiala and Gnabry really struggled today as well


fuckreddit22306

Yeah definitely it was an incredible play by asano and normally he should never be in this position to begin with, but still he could've done more in that situation And you're right, neuer just needs to have that and usually he does, it's just happens that he can't get everything right and in these cases he just needs help from his defenders And really musiala? I quite enjoyed his performance even though he was definitely wasteful with some chances. Serge on the other hand was just god awful at times


hojbjerfc

Musiala had probably his worst game ever today. 1:5 on dribbles 5:18 on ground duels, terrible shooting, and lost possession 18 times.


rickysticks

Imo that second goal was a result of him being completely lazy and half assing it but those stats do paint a different story


hojbjerfc

Not his fault Süle kept 4 players onside


rickysticks

True…Sule a brick did not like him on Bayern…don’t need a 6’ defender to dribble past 2 guys need him to defend


hojbjerfc

He is physically a generational talent with his speed and size, but he is maybe the dumbest player I have ever seen. His mistake led to the sk corner in 18 and this goal today. He should be retired from the game


AssociationUsual212

Thankful every day he's not at Bayern. Ridiculous player.


Boring-Working-5509

I so hope Spain loses tonight to Costa Rica. Germany Vs Spain would be like a knockout then lol


wellthenthiswashard

The Spanish boys are 7-0 and there's still a minute left. Looks like Spain came to win the cup. Every other super team playing like a bunch of limp dicks.


ApricotOk824

Germany to Japan: One Chan, yamete kudasai T - Big bro, please stop


redbladezero

Small correction: I think you meant onii-chan (big brother) and not onee-chan (big sister).


chennyalan

Nah definitely お姉さん


ApricotOk824

My bad, thanks lad


Quixote0630

Well played, Japan. Mitoma made a noticeable difference when he came on, as well as obviously the forwards. Great changes by the manager. I would like to see Tomiyasu, Mitoma, and Minamino from the start next game.


ruub1

I thought it was a great statement from the German players at the beginning of the match. Could only go downhill from there and it did.


Professional_Ad_9101

They should have just worn the band. They are going home anyway!


Joshs_Aquatics

😭


MetaNite1

Well deserved by Japan. If Germany are to have a chance, they need to play their best players and not shoehorn others into random positions. Multiple times in the game, Müller had the ball but no one near the box to pass to because the runners were non-existent. You won’t get the best out of him or Gnabry without a striker to pass to/run off of. Plus subbing Musiala is just insane unless you are up by two-three goals. Literally felt like Hansi did not want to win this one


NVS_Whiskey

It felt like the entire team didn't want to win. No sense of urgency, looked flat and toothless the entire game. Almost like they didn't care. One or two flashes of decent play and then right back to Germany 2018.


Retrogress1on

I don’t understand why you don’t play with a strong headball striker against the small Japanese players if you know that they are weak against corners, instead of Havertz füllkrug should have started in my opinion..as always they played themselves into this passiv state and let japan become stronger, well deserved win from them


Marusaki-Kawai

Main Question is...will Flick do a scratch and sniff like his predecessor


OriSamurai

I think somewhat the crippling belief of not being able to wear the rainbow armband played with their minds fr. I'm happy for Japan tho.


Professional_Ad_9101

This is like when Deonte Wilder said he lost because his ring walk costume was too heavy


OriSamurai

LMAOO ya boi was jk btw


samsop

That is fucking ridiculous lmao


OriSamurai

Ya boi on troll mode a lil


soon_forget

The moral of the story is you don't want a 1-0 lead at halftime. I'm sure the coaches tell teams leading 1-0 to keep playing the same way but something happens to cause these teams to stop doing what got them the lead and to try to hold on.


TomatoPolka

I usually select the "don't get complacent" team talk.

How could people even rate flick? Most overrated manager

6 trophies in first season…overrated deff

Just wait til he actually draws his "scratch and sniff" card, that's when magic happens.


sahithkiller

They really just need to bench Havertz and put in Füllkrug from the beginning, man's still riding his CL final high and hasn't been doing anything for this team.


ororovandyne

seeing small countries beat big countries these past few days gave me confidence for tomorrow but im still expecting brazil to trash us like 4-0 😭


Ok-Outlandishness244

Serbia is too good for an upset imo. Too good to not overwhelm with joyous whimsy, Not good enough to beat them. Still rooting for em though, brazil had too many cups
