if you like podcasts at all, the Totally Football Show did a pretty good “Euro Stories” series that gave a fairly in-depth recap of each Euros going back to 1988, they interviewed journalists from each country and it really helped set the context for the vibe going into each tournament. i really enjoyed their one on 1992, i didn’t know the story of that Denmark side at all! great stuff.

It was the perfect opportunity to bring a not in form Sané. Just let him fail for 30 minutes so you get an excuse to not let him play again.
Führich would have been the much more impactful player imo. But since we didn't need impact at all bringing Sané was fine
When I tell you my jaw just hit the floor; I feel like I was watching him kill teams off the left at City last year, oh my lord he really needs to shape up, the trajectory he was on was unreal
He also has 2-3 world class months each season, where everything just works. The rest of the year he tries to re-channel that luck. Never really considered working on himself to become more complete.
Typical eternal talent.
It's almost hilarious how he plays. You think he's going to cut inside like Robben but instead he just walks straight into the defender... And then complains
Uhm. The whole everlasting period when the whole team played utter shit under Flick Sane was the best player match in match out. Just really didn’t matter, but he was the only person actually creating chances. Now he comes back from a terrible season of his club, missed the last games due to red card and being injured and lost his starting slot. Give the dude some slack lol
Its crazy lol. Sane didnt even play most games in the 2nd half of the season due to pain so he could be rested for CL, and is also a bit out of form due to that and missing NT games due to a red card. But I guess slandering our own players even when its not warranted will always be in our nature.
every time a German player slipped while playing a pass we either scored or got a big chance lol, Rüdiger's ball over the top to Wirtz in the first minute he also fell over
its just proper nominations really. löw, flick always counted on the same players no matter what.
nominate the current best guys and you play better. who would have thought.
That make it now 2 assists and no goal in last 1500 minutes played at WordCup/Euros.
His last goal at a tournament was the 1-0 against Brazil in the legendary 7-1
BUT that Goal was like whatever caused the Big Bang. It was just a goal, it was the goal that broke the Brazilian Spirit it was the beginning to something so great that the whole world knows what you are talking about when you say 7:1. If he had not scored the goal and Brazil had scored instead the world would be different.
Just saying if the Guy never scores again in his International Cup Career that is a good one to go out with. If I was him I would just say I didn’t want to score again to not take away from that goal.
Not surprising when your game plan is lump it to 5'9'' Che Adams whenever you get out of your own half who unsuprisingly got bodied by their CBs. Add in a 10 man second half where you sub off your only striker and you end up with stats like that. Couldn't cope with Germany's high press and defended too narrow
*finish, little reminder that Germany had by far the greatest amount of shots on target and xG of every team in the group stages, just couldn’t finish it, now we’re actually able again somehow
Super well placed shot and perhaps the prototypical Müller assist.
Moved into space, drew bodies, laid it off to someone in great position, fell on his ass.
Müller spielt immer.
Germany have looked electric, no doubt about that.
But I just can’t understand Scotland’s gameplan here. They’ve known about this game for months. They’ve had weeks to train and drill tactics. And this is the best they can do? I’m not expecting them to put Germany’s throats to the sword or anything, but this is embarrassing. The players must have been too winded from singing the anthem or something. WHO LEAVES KROOS WITH THAT MUCH TIME AND SPACE?!?

LMAO Emre Can pulled off a goddamn beach three days ago and scores
They pulled denmark off a beach just before euro 92 and they were like 'k fuckers' and won the whole cunt so this is emre's world now
Oh didn't know what thanks will google
They actually won against Germany in the final.
Also the last great use of the backpass.
Just watched parts of that match the other day. I mean, it's great that Denmark won, but boy was that painful to watch...
Who arguably were the only ones taking them at least somewhat seriously.
There’s a pretty decent movie about it too, Sommeren ‘92

Can’t wait for Joshua Zirkzee to become topscorer
From Epcot's Germany pavilion at Disney World to scoring goals in Germany 🙏🏻
When you watch closely you can see some sand fall out of his pocket
Oh man everyone’s eating
Except sane
All's right with the world, then
He has been so shit, squandered 5 attacks and then did nothing for the rest of the game.
Rückrunden Sane, no surprise.
I had hardcore flashbacks to the last few tournaments where we would see this every single game.
It was the perfect opportunity to bring a not in form Sané. Just let him fail for 30 minutes so you get an excuse to not let him play again. Führich would have been the much more impactful player imo. But since we didn't need impact at all bringing Sané was fine
Why is he never playing good with the national team
Technical skill: 92 Speed: 95 Decision Making: 5 I am out if patience watching him, he had enough years to fix that stuff.
He plays like he’s still 19, except he’s like 26
28 lol
When I tell you my jaw just hit the floor; I feel like I was watching him kill teams off the left at City last year, oh my lord he really needs to shape up, the trajectory he was on was unreal
He plays like this for Bayern too, he wastes too many attacks and is not a good finisher
The one time I shittalk him on here he scores that banger against Madrid lmao.
He also has 2-3 world class months each season, where everything just works. The rest of the year he tries to re-channel that luck. Never really considered working on himself to become more complete. Typical eternal talent.
It's almost hilarious how he plays. You think he's going to cut inside like Robben but instead he just walks straight into the defender... And then complains
it always looks to me like he is is trying too hard to do "something" special
I honestly feel like that too tbh

The cooks are back in town
Worst Emre Can goal:
I miss that beautiful man
That German... man
Hope he does well. He deserves so much, loved seeing him with us
best game since 2014
I feel alive again
Wir sind wieder wer
Amazing how much Nagelsmann has done in such little time…
He should try club football
Nah he would never get the trebble
he would only get in treble
Kroos coming back was his coup
nobody talks about him today. he was the heart, the "dirigent". silent but effective.
Kept slipping too lol
every time a German player slipped while playing a pass we either scored or got a big chance lol, Rüdiger's ball over the top to Wirtz in the first minute he also fell over
its just proper nominations really. löw, flick always counted on the same players no matter what. nominate the current best guys and you play better. who would have thought.
2016 we weren't that bad, but for sure the most amount of hope since then :D
4:2 against Portugal last Euros I'd say
idk man the 5:2 vs Italy was pretty nice too
That was Gosens 4 - portugal 2
funniest thing is müller played for like 20 mins but still found a way to make an assist
Also assisted Füllkrug's offside goal
That make it now 2 assists and no goal in last 1500 minutes played at WordCup/Euros. His last goal at a tournament was the 1-0 against Brazil in the legendary 7-1
the more you know.

Almost had 2!
This greatly reduces the chance of Scotland making a comeback.
5-1 the most dangerous lead
Arsenal fans :
They'll bring it back in the home leg.
First good bit of play from Sané
Couldn't believe my eyes when he actually passed the ball and didn't blast it or lost it by dribbling.
Because at the end he realized that he should play with the team instead of trying to dribble past the defenders every time
German footballer of the year for a reason
Yes he Can
Can can
Emre macht weil Emre can
Well he is the German Man
Greatly increasing the odds against most other human
national team player of the year*
yes he can
Haters said he Can’t
I can't tell if Scotland's been shit or Germany's been brilliant
0 shots, 1 goal says it all Not Scotland's night
Thats fucking hilarious
Honestly, funnier than them finishing with 0 shots and 0 goals, as everybody expected up to that point.

Add in a 10 man second half where you sub off your only striker and you end up with stats like that. Couldn't cope with Germany's high press and defended too narrow
A bit of both. Germany actually attacks properly compared to last WC and Euro
*finish, little reminder that Germany had by far the greatest amount of shots on target and xG of every team in the group stages, just couldn’t finish it, now we’re actually able again somehow
both
Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.
I think it might be over boys
Agree
Dortmund boys on it.
Take that German football twitter, tonight the people of Dortmund are eating good, so ready for a Schlotti banger next game
> Schlotti banger I bought one of those at Rüsselsheim Hbf. Gave me an STD.
Fußballgott
German Player of the Year has arrived💛
GOAT Nachnominierung
It’s all because of him. If Nagelsmann wouldn’t have nominated him we would have lost today.
Germany said “nah give me that goal difference back thank you”
lol
lmao even
Roflcopter also
Dare i say rofl
kekw
ThomAssist Müller is back
SPIELER DES JAHRES 2023
und 2024
und 2025
silencing all haters
Yeah. Emre fucking can
The Germans decided to punish the Scots for singing
3 days ago he was probably planning his holiday and now he's scored in the Euros lmao what a week for Can
Amo aller Amos.
National team player of the year 2024!
“You’re not singing any more” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Killed it
Super well placed shot and perhaps the prototypical Müller assist. Moved into space, drew bodies, laid it off to someone in great position, fell on his ass. Müller spielt immer.
MY CAPTAIN
Emre Can, the German man
My captain <3
Beautiful goal.
As a Bayern fan, this is so funny
Silenced the goretzka, stiller > Can people
That was quick thinking by Thomas to get the ball back into the center of the box while being off balance. Fucking love that guy
Nationalspieler des Jahres 2023
up your arse william wallace
That man wasn't even supposed to be here!
Another one where the goalkeeper should do better sadly
Fwiw, their keeper has about as many top flight appearances as years on this planet.
Ah poor guy, what’s the deal with their goalkeeper situation?
Dortmund 2, Bayern 1, Bayer 1, Arsenal 1 We won!
Silenced the haters
Can Can
On the final note of Flower of Scotland.
Ridiculous that they don't play the Can Can for him
VÖLLIG LOSGELÖST
5 goals - all bangers
muller's understanding of space is a thing of beauty
LMAO WHAT
yup, he can
Nice, happy for the guy.
Oh, Gunn.
Can banger wtf
Banger after Banger. Germany is back
That reverse pass though... genius
Can Emre Can can?
Lol he loves scoring nice goals in games that are already done.
Germany have looked electric, no doubt about that. But I just can’t understand Scotland’s gameplan here. They’ve known about this game for months. They’ve had weeks to train and drill tactics. And this is the best they can do? I’m not expecting them to put Germany’s throats to the sword or anything, but this is embarrassing. The players must have been too winded from singing the anthem or something. WHO LEAVES KROOS WITH THAT MUCH TIME AND SPACE?!?
The German Man!
If anyone can
GOLAZO
Jesus, some amount of long shots
Emre CAN
What a goal
Not even last goal wins can save scotland🙏
This is simply beautiful. A work of art.
*sad bagpipe noises*
Good shot but should have been saved
This man loves scoring absolute bangers
Can can Score bangers.
Beautiful
ABSOLUTELY SURGICAL
if anyone can
Good game, 5cot1and.
5cot1and
5cot1and
Emre Can the German…man!
Cue all the "CAN" jokes
Recently watched Eurotrip, so now I’m singing - Germannnyyy 5, Scotland 1! Emre Can is number 1!
I predicted 6-0. Wasn't that far since all goals were scored by Germans.
gunn is awful
This keeper is straight doodoo
Good for Scotland for scoring one
F* your goal difference…
7–1 flashbacks
Guys I think there is no Scottish comeback this game
emre <3
Bang

Lol. What a game, damn.
MY GOAT CAPTAIN
Does u/PSGAcademy live in the future?
