Still not 100% sure who I want to win this match :/ Germany is stronger overall, but we have such a shit track record with France. Plus they have the home advantage. Idk idk idk idk. If we have to lose I'd rather it was to Germany, but I'd rather win against France, but that's the only thing I'm sure of.
I just hope he's really fit. If he's not and has to go out injured, the fallout will be something to see.
Ewald Lienen said a bit back that the modern club schedules are insane and harmful - according to him, Schweinsteiger has the mileage of a 37-year-old player on his legs.
That's definitely part of it but... idk, schweinsteiger's done a number on himself and I'm not sure if it's the rush to come back to match fitness or just general bad luck wrt injury. Howedes has the same problem really. :|
