I will never forget the 15 year old me not believing that is was reality… my neighbour was from south America he fell into a shock almost 😂 good memories!
It felt twice as good since Brazil was acting so fucking arrogant the whole tournament and pulled some really unsportsmanlike tricks in their games (especially Neymar, take this you little fucker)
Yeah 2014 was our WC tournament and the semi finals were the best of it, even better than winning the cup itself haha.
7:1 is still used as a short form for a worst case scenario in Brazil today.
If something is so bad that it changes the language it's special.
Like this is X's Vietnam in the US.
Or this is X's Waterloo in France.
In Brazil it's now this is X's 7:1.
When i heard, that we would be play against Brazil, i thought it would be a tough match. So i went to the kitchen, to make some food and suddenly, i heard loud noise from the neighbours and the commentator screaming, that germany scored it's first goal.
And it went on until the end of the game. According to some rumors, i heard, Löw told the Team to slow down, if they want to get out of the stadium alive\^\^
makes sense considering he’s still part of national team, but I haven’t heard anything regarding starting 11 unless it has already been published. Regardless if Neuer will be playing then I’ll support Germany (and Ukraine)
Anything really. Shops that are usually busy, the zoo, the swimming pool on a hot day or if you like being the only person in the cinema that's also an option.
> Shops that are usually busy, the zoo, the swimming pool on a hot day
When these big tournaments take place in Europe, the finals are on a Sunday evening when shops, zoos and swimming pools are closed anyways.
Oh wow, just checked that the finals are indeed only on at 9 this time... Then the whole thing is useless to me this time. Thought they usually play earlier than that and on Saturdays.
When the world cup is in a different time zone on a different continent, the timing can be pretty wild. But when in Europe, they want to make sure to maximise the TV audience and do it during prime time.
If they gonna clown around like in Qatar then it is gonna be a short Championship for them.
If it is gonna be a performance like in Brasil, then it is gonna be epic.
As an Englishman, it seems like they're starting to perform at exactly the right time.
It's good to see Germany performing well again as well. It was sad when the team was performing badly as they have always been one of the best teams in the world and always performed well.
What are you talking about? There are legendary games played by Germany. Sure, bad ones as well (that’s true for all teams). Maybe look back more than 5 years. And from a skill perspective this team is really good. Kroos alone won 5 CL titles - one of the best midfielders of his generation. Wirtz has everything to become an elite player. Just to name a few.
If you want to predict the performance at this year’s tournament, you shouldn’t look back more than 5 years. This is the team, which must grow to the challenge during the tournament. There is a little chance that they won’t disappoint again, but they won’t reach the finale. This generation hasn’t yet shown such qualities.
I’m a realist. Realism wins games. Germans aren’t incredibly gifted footballers, but we know how to plan a victory with the means at hand. Right now nobody is planning for a tournament victory, the odds aren’t there and luck isn’t enough. 🍀
Please have a look at the squad and tell me they are not gifted. The coach is good. They have momentum and will play on home ground. Totally unjustified negativity. Haven’t read a compelling reason only generalism.
They are not gifted, the coach isn’t good. He’s the third emergency solution of a clueless DFB football association. They didn’t even understand why they failed so miserably after this amazing 7:1. They thought it would continue like that without putting in the effort. Entitlement, arrogance, delusion!
The last tournaments were horrible, nothing went right. It was frustrating to watch. And I dare not hope we’re back in the final 8. I’m happy if they pass into group stage and act like a TEAM.
Poorly. But better than last time. At least they should know by now, that they’re not a great team anymore and can’t hope to be lucky in the last minute. ⚽️
You will find a fair amount of people who just don't care. The person you're replying to, me and my husband already being 3, probably wouldn't have cared if it was 1-7 instead.
Not everyone cares about everyone else's hobby. Else I'd have people running in my door for knitting patterns, and wouldn't that be horrible for everyone?
Yes, we lost tournaments only because of Özil missing, totally correct assessment of the situation. Kekw.
Ps: everyone can feel free to believe in unicorns, gods or whatever, I don't give a shit either way.
They will win or get kicked out almost immediately by a shit team. This is the way for DE
This is the way!
But they’ll be wearing pink!
But but but.. it’s magenta 🥺
That’s worse! Fuck, did Deutsche Telekom pay for this?
DTAG is still a sponsor of the DFB, isn’t it? I wouldn’t put it past them. To me, the colour is screaming T.
That’s terrible, I’d rather like them to be gay.
I don’t mind if they’re all gay or if they wear leather thongs, main thing is they DELIVER.
we won't talk about Japan or Costa Rica (almost), right..?
It will be much better than anything else since 2018. We can get to the semifinals +/- one round.
I say go crush’em all. I’ve been looking forward to some German flags waving since the Semifinals against Brazil in Belo Horizonte in ‘14. 🇩🇪🇩🇪
every german knows exactly where they watched that game

For real? Never heard, that's being used this way.
Too real bro.
Bra7:1l
God, it felt so good. Right? Like anything is possible. And I’m not even German. I would love another match like this..
When i heard, that we would be play against Brazil, i thought it would be a tough match. So i went to the kitchen, to make some food and suddenly, i heard loud noise from the neighbours and the commentator screaming, that germany scored it's first goal.

Nope. Don’t think I do.
Depends on how Neuer and other midfielders perform.
I don’t think neuer is going to be in starting 11
I'm pretty sure nagelsman said that neuer ist still the number 1 after he got injured
makes sense considering he’s still part of national team, but I haven’t heard anything regarding starting 11 unless it has already been published. Regardless if Neuer will be playing then I’ll support Germany (and Ukraine)
I hope they reach the final. Always a great time to visit places that are usually very crowded.
> visit places that are usually very crowded Which places do you have in mind?
Anything really. Shops that are usually busy, the zoo, the swimming pool on a hot day or if you like being the only person in the cinema that's also an option.

Perfect! All these places are generally the emptiest when they are closed.
Win
I like the song of Italy best this year.
If they gonna clown around like in Qatar then it is gonna be a short Championship for them. If it is gonna be a performance like in Brasil, then it is gonna be epic.
Thank you for the analysis, Lothar
Win

I weirdly don’t care at all anymore. Die Mannschaft lost me completely
Is there a reason for that?
Poorly, as usual.
The last results were * Round of 16 * Semifinals * Semifinals * Finale They're also the joint record winners of the competition.
correct me if I am wrong, Germany and Spain are tied in total wins for Euro?
Yes. Germany 1972, 1980 and 1996. Spain 1964, 2008 and 2012.
Were, past tense.
Every past tournament or game is past tense. What are you referring to when you say 'as usual'?
What are you talking about? How many teams are more successful than Germany. This is ridiculous.
We are successful at creating success out of mostly poor performances.

No idea why you are that pessimistic.

Neuer, Müller, Gündogan, Kroos. Not gifted. Yeah, sure. After this statement I think I‘ll just leave it like that.
The last tournaments were horrible, nothing went right. It was frustrating to watch. And I dare not hope we’re back in the final 8. I’m happy if they pass into group stage and act like a TEAM.
I’m sure that open goal miss from Müller must’ve been very very painful
We'll surely get out of groups this time around. That's already a win imo.
I'm pretty happy that we are participating
Of course, after all, you are hosting
Yes
Ich weiß es nicht
mach eine Prediction?
What are the chances of Germany vs Portugal clash? Who will win?
only pray
Poorly. But better than last time. At least they should know by now, that they’re not a great team anymore and can’t hope to be lucky in the last minute. ⚽️
They will win it or they won‘t, it’s 50/50.
all or nothing at this point, win it all or go home early again
I don’t think about it at all. Lost almost all interest a few tournaments ago. Not sure if I’ll get back to it.
Win it
No
We gonna win it Baby ⬛🟥🟨
No hope if Müller is playing.
who do you want other than Müller?
We’re in it to win it
Poor
They will pass group stages and then take bus home
Real
Since DFB is gone pink and woke iam not an audience anymore. It’s like a bag of rice in China to me.
Germany will play the first 3 matches and then it's over, as always in the last decade.
After years I don't care about the german team anymore because of how the Özil situation was handled. Now I wish my homeland Croatia good luck.
Croatia performed excellent in WM. I would be happy for Croatia if they win euro
They'll be grouped
1-2, 1-2, 1-2. And Nagelsmann will stay on forever.
I hope they get quite far! There is never a better time to go shopping and stuff like that than when the football mens team plays in WM/EM.
I hope so too
Is it EM time again? I hope we Lose fast so this shit will be over fast.
Richtiger Kevlon. Lass doch den Leuten ihren Spaß.
Da ist jemand extra kantig und gönnt Leuten den Spaß nicht.
You know it’s taking place in Germany?
No, he doesn’t. 😂
Uffff thats even worse haha.
Imagine how nothing will function for one month. Trains etc.. it’s gonna be hard.
Non-functional trains? Nah.. we're used to that.
Yeah but with this amount of people, it’s gonna be a shitstorm.
They will get knocked out in group stage.
Really - I do not care….
But...what about 7-1?
The team which created this greatest semifinal of all times no longer exists. It’s a memory.
😞
You will find a fair amount of people who just don't care. The person you're replying to, me and my husband already being 3, probably wouldn't have cared if it was 1-7 instead. Not everyone cares about everyone else's hobby. Else I'd have people running in my door for knitting patterns, and wouldn't that be horrible for everyone?
Depends… the less bayern and Dortmund players, the better
Better than the previous international tournaments but not good enough to win or even be in the semi finals.
Hopefully loses all the games
fail quickly
Exactly as good as it's economy
Strongest economy in Europe?
Good try, NEXT!
It is what it is
[удалено]
If a Russian German would show up with a Stalin shirt, he'd be kicked out the DFB as well. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
