World Cup - 2014 Brazil

[Peter Renn]

The match is far away of being a top one, but now France scored. My cup match was much better today
And it was a huge keeper mistake.

Algeria is making Germans worry.

Question to the germans on the forum: Why is Lahm keep being played in defensive midfield? Does Low hate him at fullback? Because playing 4 centerbacks in defense is cause for concern. Boateng has played decent at right back, but still not as good as some of your bench can play. So why is Lahm not playing at fullback?

Not a german, still can answer: Looks like Lahm is playing fine at DMC also they have no one else to play there. Boateng is a VERY GOOD RB.

By the way, today Boateng is playing at CB and Mustafi (who is an actual RB so no 4 CBs on the pitch) is playing at RB.

Well, our coach is stupid, n lahm plays that position in Bayern as well, our coach just likes this idea with the 4 dc, but it would be better having khedira n Schweinsteiger there with kroos in front of them.
No on else, we usually play with kroos khedira n Schweinsteiger we have 3 actuall dmcs in the team, and mustafi only plays cause hummels got ill...
Normally would be lahm at the back n khedira n Schweinsteiger, we always played like that, now as lahm is midfielder one of the original dmc only is benched. We don't play well, but still ok

Im aware of todays game. Its not just this game for Lahm though, Lahm playing okay, but okay is not good enough for Germany. Im saying Khedira in DMC, move Lahm back to fullback. Boateng is fine, but Howedes hasn't impressed me at all

[RJSlow]

Also attack minded fullbacks would help the stale German attack currently

Khedira has been injured for the most of the season and performed quite poor in the last games that's why he's benched. Gotta agree on Howedes though, even Jansen could do better.

Edit: or actually, since Jansen is not called up, Durm should play in LB.

[Peter Renn]

Yes n that is why lahm is playing dmc if khedira n Schweinsteiger well it's them who's playing. And höwedes is alright, its mustafi no german understands why hes playing at all, we have 2 much better bvb player benched, but our coach surprises use very time
We have grosskreutz n durm from Dortmund benched n a nice guy from Freiburg, but they dont play, don't ask why...

Seeing as I am a BVB supporter, I know all about Durm, and would love to see him playing. I just think if Germany is playing sloppy it would help to put people in their natural positions (Technically I would not consider fullback to be Durm's natural position though)

[RJSlow]

Yeah I wasn't going to question the Mustafi thing because frankly I know NOTHING about him. Ginter is probably better with the BVB guys then him, but I don't get paid the money to make the decisions
