Germany won three more points for the qualifier
It's been a long time since I don't rant about Germany's national team.
I watched today's match from minute 20 or something in the first half. They did what they had to do. Get those three points. Nothing more nothing less. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. It's ok *shrugs*
While I was watching I thought about how many of them (the "four" who are in the T-frage) have really proven themselves in a big match or against a humungus team. Amanzingly, none has, Just Manu has had some succes (and a very shinny moment) in the CL. Enke has never played against a big team and with Hannover I don't see that happening any time soon. Wiese has had the chance (a lot of times) and he has screwed all those times. The only time he has done somehting decent, those penalty saves, was against Hamburg, another German club, in the UEFA cup. But when it comes to the moment he has to face a team with "a name" he fails miserably. I don't rememeber René Adler having to face any special moment against a big team. So he hasn't... oh wait, yes, that friendly against England. We know what happened there. So, at the moment I don't see how Jogi it's going to really measure the "four candidates" because the Buli is not enough to do it. Enke won't play CL nor UEFA cup this season, Manu neither, nor Adler. Weise, well let's see what happens with Werder in the CL, or in UEFA if they don't make it there. And to count with just Germany's matches ahead is not really enough if you ask me, because the teams they have to play against are not that big. Ok, they'll play against Russia soon, but they are not that consistent sometimes. Oh and there's a friendly against Brazil. I hope they all consider the honor thing and play in all seriousness. I have to check their match schdule anyway to see if there's any other team ahead of them, but I don't remember any at the moment.
*Tries HARD not to think about a Jens' comeback to the NT* ;)
