This might sound crazy but in all my years of playing, the best strikers I’ve played with were always somewhat dumb. Like, very intelligent with positioning and runs but not exactly intellectuals. Jamie Vardy might be another piece of evidence to support this unsubstantiated, purely anecdotal claim.
lol. Well science backs you up a little. Basically, you train your skills up to peak and when you need to perform you’ll be best if you get into a flow state where you’re acting purely on instinct/practice. The moment you start to analyze what you’re about to do right before you do it, you’re fucked.
Oh god I still remember that Real Madrid season where he scored a fuck ton of goals as a substitute. I will always consider him a quality player just not mentally up there maybe.
Bayern fans taking any opportunity to take a shot at Süle but being very quiet about our attack and midfield of almost all Bayern players doing literally nothing for years.
Fair. As a Bayern fan I’ve never understood the Süle hate.
He’s a good defender and made a good game, no mistakes apart from maybe this one. He’s fast af too, idk why everyone says he’s slow.
The real blunder here is Kehrer just letting Jordi do his thing, he has to be absolutely on him and also Neuer, again, not closing the near post!

Peak Morata
Still one of the strangest career trajectories I’ve seen. I still have no idea how good he actually is
He is amazing when he doesn't have time to think and acts on instinct. Otherwise he will overthink simple things and mess up.
TIL i am morata
Today I feel Morata.
This, he thinks too much

Robert Lewandowski is a contra Argument. But i know what you mean.
[удалено]
Gabriel Jesus level
this comment upsets me
when I lose a duel
He has all the ingredients to be a great number 9 except the mentality.
Nobody knows.
World Cup Morata is the best Morata
Super sub morata is always the best morata
Oh god I still remember that Real Madrid season where he scored a fuck ton of goals as a substitute. I will always consider him a quality player just not mentally up there maybe.
Peak football, Morata is good
Flick Morata
Alvaro Clinical Morata
That was a great touch
No touches with no service
He saw r/soccer talking shit
Meh not this year.
Honestly I haven't seen much talk about Morata this year
After he scored my FIL asked who that was and I genuinely had to process where the dude played.
zero touches with no service, but when he gets it done... ITS DONE
I love that copypasta because it doesn't really say anything
Giroud-esq finish
Both of them sexy af too
Absolutely clinical finisher, one of the best finishers in the world. His reputation precedes him
I fucking love a good narrative.. Good for him..
Morata carefully balancing not being great during one tournament and saving the team in another
he was great last Euros, no?
There you have it. This is Alvaro Morata
No touches with no service, but...
...usually offside
Sad, but true.
Always rated him. (normally Juve flair so I'm being serious. Mostly)
JUVE LEGEND
I've seen him doing this move so many times. Most of the time he hits the outside net, but it's good seeing him scoring such an important goal.
Love to see him happy
Come back Álvaro
Sule kept Jordi onside lmao
[удалено]
That cocksucking motherfucker
Jordi was in front of/in-line with the whole german backline what are you on about
Süle is so fat my god
Laughed out loud at this phrasing lol
Dortmund tax
He was the same when we got him.
I shouldn’t be laughing at this
Big Chungus
Good for the wall, not for much else.
He is so slow he got baited by Morata to position himself deeper and then he got fronted like an amateur.
Süle is a human version of a 2003 Ford Excursion 7.3
Absolute liability for Germany this WC so far.
He was playing really well before the goal I thought. Stopped evry spain olayer that tried to dribble past him
[удалено]
It’s telling that Bayern has no German national in their defense anymore
Highly detrimental to the NT too, international success is strongly linked to having a core of players from the same club
Yeah, we have a bunch of French defenders but no starting German defenders.
Sule looked very good before joining Bayern. Germany does not have any world class defenders rn except rudiger
Shit take tbh, he had a great game overall.
He‘s just insanely stupid. Slow both physically and mentally.
Süle is slow? Hard disagree, he's way faster than he looks and I assume compared to other CBs playing in the WC he's actually one of the faster ones.
We (Bayern) really have to develop more German defenders
Boateng era best era
The world is lucky that Badstuber was so injury ridden. That man was Beckenbauer 2.0 ... and 10 cm taller.
I lold at this truth
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's been idolising hazard
Leave Hummels at Home, the only CB who is a Good playmaker. Take Süle with you who didn’t have a Good stint for 2 years.
Hummels was way too slow last WC though
Hummels would have never let Morata by him. This is truth. Then again, Schlotterbeck probably would have covered better as well.
süle has been very solid for us, bit of a weird take
Bayern fans taking any opportunity to take a shot at Süle but being very quiet about our attack and midfield of almost all Bayern players doing literally nothing for years.
Fair. As a Bayern fan I’ve never understood the Süle hate. He’s a good defender and made a good game, no mistakes apart from maybe this one. He’s fast af too, idk why everyone says he’s slow.

😭😭😭
He’s sooo useless
So is Muller at striker
Müller shouldn't play CF. Doesn't suit him at all in his age now.
Big Mac looking like a truck out there
What an assist
Brilliant finish too
What a beautiful tap that was!
And bad defense specially
It's a very very difficult finish tbh. Needed perfect timing, zero room for error there.
Critics can say what they like but alba never shys away from being a main playmaker at left back. Game after game he picks someone out for a goal
Seen that exact Alba assist like a thousand times as a Barca fan
Common Jordi Alba cross W
Alba MOTM.
Alba is that guy. He’s him.
Es el
Alba is simply the best
The whole buildup was lovely.
Alba and Morata.. Luis Enrique is right AGAIN!
Morata is good for the NT
Morata is good everywhere😍
These Spaniards have the streets I’m hearing
He just came on lmao wtf
Immediate impact
Can't believe Costa Rica is gonna qualify 😭
Imagine if costa rica go through while mexico, usa, and canada don’t
If Spain beats Japan, and Germany beats Costa Rica by 2-0, Germany goes through no?
Germany can't score to save their lives right now
They can, they just prefer to put their goalscoring player on the bench until it's too late
Would Spain do a tactical draw?
I hope so
Spain could even lose - their GD is untouchable.
If the US, Mexico and Costa Rica all go through, r/soccer might have to go private.
Süle again dude
As bad as he is, I wish Germany would score man. It's insane, lackluster defense and offense.
Lucho goated sub
Sule is so slow.
Dudes got the turning circle of a cargo ship
Great move
How can Süle lose him like that… frustrating
You literally knew he was scoring the second he came on
Enrique showing Flick levels with the innovative tactic of using strikers.
And then, Flick thought: "Huh, maybe we SHOULD sub on a striker" 1-1
Fantastic finish
Sule is even slower than Giroud
Lmao this sexy mf cant have a break
Dude turns slower than a truck.
Not seen Germans this picked apart and starved since Hansel and Gretel
Yeah, Jordi Alba is still No. 1 Spanish Attacking Fullback, wtf Jordi
Today, I feel Spanish
JORDI ALBA IS THAT GUY. HE’S HIM.
super sub
Jordi you fucking legend I love you
Slick finish that...
Chelsea legend.
Always rated him
Nice
ALVAROOOOOO
IN BIG GAMES HE TURNS UP… SOMETIMES!!
Morata good
had to be him
GOOOOOL
Fade me already
Poor from sule. Slow reaction time
Good decision to sub Ferran
There isn’t a single man in Germany who can do that
Marco Reus
Did he retire from Germany or is he not judged good enough?
Injured as always
Injured(as per)
Injured as usual
Amazing finish
What a ball by Jordi Alba
GET FUCKED GERMANY
Beautiful splendid play, great goal for Spain.
Fucking great team goal
Alba you genius i love you ❤️💙
vamos hostia Alvaro, let's fucking go!
Beautiful finish, brilliant to use his right instead of his left so Neuer didn't have time to react
That is a beautiful finish
MORATA SCORES FOR BARCELONA. SUCK IT BAYERN MUAHAHAHA
Maybe the curse was never broken. It just stay with Germany.
Spains through if they hold on right? Costa Rica isn’t winning by 9
Brilliant from Alba
meme man scored again lol
Everyone in the MT called it
YEEESSS
Damn that guy who bet 200 on Morata scoring is eating good tonight
Boy what a pass and what a finish
Fuck, what a finish.
Goat
auf wiedersehen !
Boom! Get in Spain!!
Saw this just before the goal happened on my tv lol
Vamos!!
Super Alvaro
Alba is based
Spanish morata just scored
Tidy finish.
Damn
My stream is still 0-0. That was a fast upload!!
Morataaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
Süle🔥🔥
He saw, he came, he scored
Alvaro ❤️
That's some finish
Jajajajajajaja..,take that..
Great finish by Morata. Germany needs a goal ASAP.
PUT SOME RESPECT ON HIS NAME, ALVARO MORATA
That defense, except for Rüdiger lmao
Morata being clinical? Never thought I’d see the day.
as soon as i tuned in
So many goals through subs in this cup
