A shop named "Joach Löw" has opened in Guangzhou,China
It sells expensive shirts and Trousers inspired by Löws style
the name is copyrighted but in China they do not really care about such stuff

[BayernLove]

Is there a booger cafe in there, by any chance?

LOL!

Is there a "Guardiola's style" shop as well?

Germany has fired Rainer Adrion , coach of the U-21 National team

He will be replaced by Horst Hrubesch who won the Euro2009 with the German U-21 team

Arne Friedrich has announced his retirement

I have always liked his football , a good defender

[MoFattal]

Good player. Enormous 2010 WC.

I want Boateng and Badstuber to play instead of Schmelzer. Both of those guys have played in the middle and on the left, right now my thought is that Boateng is finally becoming solid/reliable while Badstuber has been wishy-washy, so better to hide Badstuber on the outside (he's still more reliable than Schmelzer, assuming he comes off his injury ok)

Does anyone think Khedira might lose his spot? Kroos could take his place in the pivot, and as solid as Khedira has been he's not much of a playmaker / game-changer.

Here's my dream team:

Neuer - Lahm Boateng Hummels Badstuber - Kroos Schweinsteiger - Gotze Ozil Reus - Muller
First subs off the bench: Podolski, Gomez

Gotze and Muller could, maybe should, switch places. But we will see how Gotze fits in as a false-9 at Bayern and take it from there.

No way I don't agree with you ... 1st of all Bad is inj & his inj I am afraid that will affect his selection: I am not a big fan of Schmelzer but I think he is reliable enough...
this is mine:


Gundogan for Khedira, Maybe Schurrle can be used as CF along with Gomez and Kroos for Gotze...

[Borusse]

Third of all, Badstuber doesnt have the speed and dynamics required for playing at LB. Schmelzer is always up there ready to make a run down the wing and then quickly come back. And I dont want to be the one to say this but Badstuber's career is pretty much on a verge of completely falling apart...

[YlonenXabi]

This is also my favourite lineup but my question mark is on Gündogan. I hope he gets some playing time next to Schweini so they can make a good partnership.

But let's not forget that Khedira has always played great with the NT and he doesn't deserve to be benched yet

[jaybayern]

schmelzer dont normally plays LB for germany ...it mainly Lahm ,then jerome on RB...........if thats not the case dont hold me too it imma brazil fan

[MoFattal]

Schmelzer's performance is still far away from great, but he's performing better every game. It was a completely new setup for him, and I think he'll be ready to claim that spot before the WC starts. As for the midfield partnership, I'd love to see Kroos, as well as Gundogan, but I don't see any chance for Khedira to lose that spot soon.

Unfortunately so. Badstuber can forget the WC, and I fear he will never be the same again.

The club season will have a big influence on what Germany's team looks like next summer in my opinion. If Bayern dominate European football again, I think the best thing to do would be to keep the team as similar to Bayern as possible, replacing the foreigners with Dortmund/Madrid players.

So for example:



Bench: Jung, Howedes, Khedira, Gundogan, Klose, Gomez, Draxler, Schurrle etc



I don't mean to sound arrogant, but if Bayern do have a second successive dominating season it doesn't make sense not to do this.

[Borusse]

Well, I agree in general but Low won't change the system from 4-2-3-1 to 4-1-4-1, at least I dont think so. I think Gomez will be the striker, maybe Gotze as a false "9". But Khedira is very highly rated by Jogi so I dont think he will bench him.

The line-up will almost surely look like this:



As long as Schmelzer, Hummels and Reus have the first squad I dont care what Jogi does really.

[FCBayernMunchen]

Well, I agree in general but Low won't change the system from 4-2-3-1 to 4-1-4-1, at least I dont think so.

Well he's tried it before...

I agree that either Gomez or Klose will probably start though.
