It's just me, ranting *pissed*
If Micha was so pissed after the Croatia match and the final it should have been about himself because he didn't do what it was expected of him. Organize, distribute and sending the team upfront. He wasted time yelling at the ref at the final and fighting unnecessarily at the last two minutes of the match instead of picking the freaking ball up and

Now I wonder, where has that "Wir sind ein team" gone?!
I remember Micha's words right in the middle of the Euro about Mario's situation and I disagreed and didn't like it in that moment but for some reason I let it go. Maybe because I wanted to think it was just gossip.
Jogi has a lot of work to do but outside the pitch. I knew the Sommermärchen wouldn't last forever but they shouldn't forget how great the German national team is when they all fight together. I don't want a Sommermärchen, I want them just to behave like a team again. Although in their benefit I saw good signs on Saturday. Let's hope things continue like that tomorrow and so on.
To tell you the truth, this whole issue between Micha and Oliver just leaves me with such a bad taste in my mouth. I think Oliver is and is not right about "the national team has won games with and without Micha so it is not dependend on him ". He is kidn of right because Germany clasified for the Euros without Micha. He spend most of the time being injured so he wasn't in much of the matches. And he's kind of wrong because in the Euro the team played horrible and lost (except against Turkey) exactly in those matches where you didn't know if Micha was actually in the field. In these matches where he didn't do what he had to the team looked lost, without organisation and even kind of passionless. I wonder if that's the reason why Uefa named him in the best eleven of the Euro, because the team was so dependent of him. Mehh. Or maybe was just the same kind of voting that led Petr Cech to best European goalie this year ¬¬ Edwin van der Saar was robbed this time just like Jens on 2006 if you ask me.
And Micha is forgetting that all of them, together, is what have Germany winning and delivering something in the past recent years. It's not Micha alone, it's not Jens alone, nor Klinsi then Jogi, it's all of them who have contributed for the succesful of the NT, from the physios to the manager.
Ah Micha. Probably in a few months or by next year he will have forgotten everything. I remember reading right after the WC some interviews previous to the tournament where he openly expressed his disagreement with Klinsi in not so pretty ways and he made very clear he didn't like Jens as number one (he has always loved his friend Kahn). What happened after the WC? He was one of those who said Klinsmann shouldn't leave, blahblah. What happened at the end of the Argentina-Germany match? He almost gave one of his son to Jens (I have pictures), and just in this year right before the Euro he was in the campaigne Jens is Germany's number one.
I don't think Micha will stop being the captain (nor Oliver being the Manager), as long as he delivers as such of course. But if he continues playing like he did against Croatia, Turkey and Spain, like in NOT playing, then I suppose Jogi will definitely give the captain armband to Bastian or someone else who can yell two or three words of encouragment on the pitch in the middle of the battle. Oh yes, and lead by example.
Btw, this morning I was asking myself why all these problems are coming out to light after Jens left and I had the sudden idea that maybe he worked inside as one of those who kept or tryed to kept the bonding inside the team (??)
I don't think he's amused seeing how things are going inside.
Oh but there's hope my dear, there's hope. Things will settle between the egos... right?

Ooops I meant here just like Jens was robbed in 2006 as best goalie of the year, worlwide, and Buffon won.
