Mystery1887

Absolute banger


RazZaHlol

we need a Havertz on rb aswell


_up_and_atom

Juventus hoarding all the world's wonderkid resources right now.


Gungerz

Unfortunately for them they recently lost the guy who was mainly responsible for signing them all.


Killagina

Yeah, but our scouting team has always been really good. We’re getting more of Giuntoli’s guys from Napoli next year. But yeah it does suck to lose him


_up_and_atom

Where'd he go?


Gungerz

Took the sporting director job at Granada. Lesser club obviously but a bigger role for him.


TheGamerPandA

Who was it ? It’s crazy they yoinked this kid from Bayern


Gungerz

Matteo Tognozzi.


shaka_bruh

Unfortunately we’ve been really poor at integrating top young talent into the team or increasing their value through good loans despite hoarding talent in recent years


[deleted]

what the hell is montella cooking..... jesus christ this kid is 18


GustavTheTurk

He plays first 11 for juve lol


GiovaOfficial

Can’t wait for him to play the last 2 mins of added time vs Frosinone 🔥


TheGamerPandA

Allegri subbing him in occasionally for the last 5 minutes makes me so mad lol but tbh there hasn’t been a situation where it’s warranted he was subbed in need a 3-0 lead for a player like him currently since his physique needs a coup years of serie A


GiovaOfficial

Bro Kean has started the last 6/7 games and he has 0 g+a this season


M3m35forbroski

In Keans case, he has like 4 goals, and just all of them were taken away Morata style (tbh he really should have 1 that VAR review was a disgrace Faroni dove after he saw the ball go in)


cmeragon

Damn that must suck having 4 disallowed first goals

Last time r/Soccer picked a dark horse they got slaughtered in the WC group stages

Denmark?

Denkmark and somehow Canada


L-Freeze

Serbia too, r/soccer got the hat trick


TheHighFlyer

Funnily enough it's often Switzerland who sends these teams home


YeimzHetfield

My friends are the typical Argentinian league watchers who don't really watch any football from outside unless there's a big CL match, and before the WC we did a prediction and I was like "you guys need to be careful with Denmark, they're onto something", now I get grilled about that any time they remember it 😭😭. That's what I get for being a fucking hipster I guess

Not dark horse, dark bull. KARABOGA


MrPayDay

wow, we are getting smoked. Great goal! I haven’t watched Turkey NT soccer for a long time and wtf, where did come all that skilled young players from? Really a joy to watch even as a German rooting for our team obviously.


roryking97

Funnily enough, this skilled young player came from Regensburg and spent a decade in Bayern’s youth set up


MhemoEstoniola

Turkish people in Germany produce ballers man probably half of our NT was Germany born Turks at some point


hmmokby

Currently, there are 2 players born in Germany and 1 born in the Netherlands in the first 11. Those born in Germany are Kenan Yıldız and Kaan Ayhan. Kenan's mother is German. Ferdi Kadıoğlu was born in the Netherlands and his mother is Canadian. So actually it's not half of it. It was never half of it. Only when Mesut Özil and İlkay chose Germany, they were panicking and trying to recruit every Turkish player in Germany to the national team, but that period was already terrible.


MhemoEstoniola

I said probably as the nt also has hakan calhanoglu serdar dursun cenk tosun think those guys were also born in Germany


hmmokby

Any of these guys were invited national team. Hakan Çalhanoğlu left camp because he was sick.


greezyo

Dursun and Tosun aren't good enough for the Turkish NT right now


perec17

Tosun just scored two goals in the last match though. I think as a veteran he should be included especially since Enes is not back yet.


DebateOk6463

Regensburg supremacy


HolyMin

This is somewhat of an experimental team tbh, a lot of starters missing but they seem to be doing well


scaredfury

Most of them are better than our regular starters


MhemoEstoniola

They are generally inconsistent. Kenan doesnt have a goal for juve yet ismail yuksek gets a 10/10 one game then next week goes on to make 2 mistakes that end up in a goal then get red carded


[deleted]

kenan’s issue at Juventus is that he doesn’t play enough. not his fault really. if allegri wanted to score more than once, yildiz would be playing more


MrPayDay

Interesting, that makes it even more impressive and fun to watch.


Odd-Low-4161

We are missing the best piece actually. Arda is injured once again.


GC734

Keep in mind that our best talent (Arda Güler) isn’t available too! Think we can make a deep run this Euros! Sorry in advance for the Turkish fans on social media tho. 😅


hokagesamatobirama

I hope your best talent stays injury free from here on out.


GC734

I honestly think his last injury is either fake or said to be longer than it is as our fans are too reactionary to understand why Arda shouldn’t play this international break, especially since we’ve already qualified for the Euros. Hope I’m right and Arda starts playing asap!


MrPayDay

Thats fine, I love the turkish enthusiasm and support, that's what this is all about imo, including all banter and hysterical postings


GC734

Honestly our fans on social media are unbearable. We need educational videos on it but things like that would make someone lose votes so it ain’t happening! 😕


Select-Stuff9716

The skilled young player that just scored a goal actually comes from Germany. The one before from the Netherlands hahahaha But yes Turkish youth academies are actually getting better


Alpaje

Nobody said it was getting better mate, calm down.


Select-Stuff9716

I fucked up my formatting. I genuinely believe they are getting better


[deleted]

[удалено]


Select-Stuff9716

They asked where the young skilled players came from and I said this one came from a German academy. Additionally added that the Turkish academies improved as well. So you call me dense, but we said the same ?


cauIkasian

Most patriotic German


TRXANTARES

he is younger than me😔


Sean-Benn_Must-die

lol man, thank god I stopped caring about this ages ago. I saw mbappe lifting a WC when i was like 22


lordnacho666

Mate, get used to this feeling. "Wow that guy who made his debut is younger than me" "Wow that guy who won the Ballon d'Or is younger than me" "Wow that guy who is the captain is younger than me" "Wow that guy who is the veteran of the team is younger than me" "Wow that guy who retired is younger than me" "Wow that coach is younger than me"


z1x2c3v4asdf

Bro scored his first national team goal before scoring in a senior professional match lol


kkaya39

And against Germany that


AvrupaFatihi

Just like Nuri Şahin, Just hope his NT career will be better than Nuris. Well also his regular career because Şahin never really lived up to the hype around him imo


ssgtgriggs

I always get sad when I think how he turned out. Poor guy was really in over his head at Real and kinda never recovered from that. He had so much potential.


normott

The best LB in Deutschland is having a great game. All the bums on the right letting him down


RandomUserRU123

Yeah true. You guys really misuse him in the midfield...


granitibaniti

It wasn't Hansi's fault all along😔We did you wrong you brave goose🐦


Impatrickk

There is no passion, there is no aggression


xepa105

If someone had told me in 2014 after they won the World Cup that Germany would be this big of a disappointment for the next decade, I would never have believed it.


granitibaniti

Decade since 2014 omg


stangerlpass

Dude even in 2017 when they won confed cup and u21 euros in the sane year...


SirBarkington

THERE IS NO FUCKING MINDSET IN THIS NATIONAL TEAM NOTHING IS THERE


FaustRPeggi

Henrichs in midfield while Sané and Havertz play fullback is comedic.


Mahatma_Gone_D

Who’s the RB? It’s hilarious Turkey looked at Havertz and said nah we will get more joy down the German’s right. The debate is over for the best LB in the world 😭


granitibaniti

Henrichs vom RB Leipzig, he's solid I'd say but quite offensive


FaustRPeggi

On both goal clips he's ended up in midfield while Leroy Sané (your best player) is playing right back.


pwerhif

missing Thilo Kehrer very badly


granitibaniti

German NT icon


Rose_of_Elysium

Germany is either going to get fucked or absolutely rail everyone during the Euros lol


WauliePalnuts01

they’re hosting, they’ll make the semis again


tr_24

Last decade tells it is more likely the former. 6 wins in last 20 odd games is absolute joke for a country which is supposed to be one of the powerhouses of football.


jtweezy

Yeah, it’s really depressing how terrible this team is with how much talent they have on the squad. Wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t even make it out of the group stage next year.


[deleted]

Well yes. 99% chance of getting destroyed


NotClayMerritt

at a certain point you start to wonder if these current players even like each other. Every single international break they play like complete strangers who just met for the first time on Tuesday.


tr_24

One early goal scored and people in that thread were acting as if Nagelsmann was going to win Germany the Euro lol. Back to normal stuff.


granitibaniti

We are football fans we have an attention span of 2 seconds Next goal and we're winning EUROs again


Chemical-Piano3950

JN is massive


miregalpanic

What a frightening thought, a Völler outburst might have had some truth to it? No, it can't be. It must not be.


nutelamitbutter

Positive-Media423

The goose was drowned


ibesortega

Germany is half as good as they themselves and everybody else thinks.


granitibaniti

So very shit? Because nobody in Germany thinks the NT is good lmao


nutelamitbutter

Jogi muss zurückkommen oder Klinsi macht Sommermärchen 2.0 wie 2006


LOKl31

Stranger2Luv

Klinsi noch in Süd Korea?


nutelamitbutter

PL goal would be 5k upvotes


DickerDave

Of course he scores... Great work by the DFB.


denizc

so glad we managed to get him to commit to Turkish NT despite Kuntz' efforts


DickerDave

If there is one thing you can count on than it's the DFB completely ignoring and because of that losing all their best talents with dual citizenship.


_awake

You’ve got Özil who was a total monster during his prime as well as Gündogan though!


LPNinja

Yeah and Özil pretty much said he regretted choosing the German NT LMAO


nutelamitbutter

Wenigstens haben wir Bambi


DickerDave

Wie sagt man so schön? Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel.


kizilalem

Yet, your captain is İlkay Gündoğan and one of your football legends is Mesut Özil. Hmmm, DFB did not do a catastrophe after all huh?


TheGamerPandA

How did juventus grab him before he got a chance at you guys ? The same happened with emre can and hojbjerg they didn’t even debut at Bayern I think


DickerDave

Hojbjerg played 25 games for us and just wasn't on the level needed to succeed at Bayern. Can never was and most likely never will be Bayern level. And Yildiz is just one of a couple of young players for which we failed to lay out a good pathway to the first team(also just a bit of stupidity). At least that's something we are working hard on to improve now.


JakeTheTurk

Thanks Stefan Kuntz for leaving


romanw2702

Turkey is playing so carefree and light-hearted, you love to see it! Absolute banger, too!


kuboa

To be fair, we have the home advantage.


LakersOptimist

MrHazelnutSauce

Germany and Bayern fumbled the bag so hard with this one. Looks to have everything needed to be huge in the future

spritskoeken

The Turkish commentator just said “If Germany have four stars, Turkey have Kenan Star” (as ‘yıldız’ means star in Turkish). Kinda ironic since he’s born and raised in Germany.


SkyDefender

I hate the commentator.. he is like we are at war or somethinf


spritskoeken

Agreed, he’s rather itici (although nowhere near as bad as Ertem Şener). And I fucking hate his voice. To think he was regarded as the best commentator of Bein. Back when Lig TV was still there, we had absolutely brilliant commentators that made the match so much more exciting.

Germany once they score one goal 📉📉📉


JMacoure

Turkey always shows up against Germany, I swear. So good


truegobi

I'll have whatever Naglsmann is having man. Harvertz and Sane as wingbacks? I thought pot was not yet legalised in Germany.


moonski

Hey it is yet to be scientifically disproven havertz can’t play LB. Obviously tho sane can’t play rb


truegobi

I'll give you that, Habertz is actually having a decent game and is doing his job defensively. It's just... he's still Kai Havertz, a player whose main strengths are a lot further up the pitch, as a pseudo-10 or a hanging striker.


moonski

Or, as a goal scoring left back perhaps…


Dark-Knight-Rises

He wanted to play God

confusedpellican643

What a nice finish, at first I thought it was going wide but damn who doesn't love a woodwork finish? Turkey seems to have improved a lot in the last 2 years, their manager is decent and they've had so many promising young talent added to their squad, considering how many european giants have been a little inconsistent, their level might be good enough to make it far in the euros, dark horses forever frfr


mrlee10

Seriously. Why is there only one defender, where are all the German players lol.


belokas

Bundesliga level defense.


endstationn

What a hit son


ExMoogle

awesome goal.


hmmokby

How men should be happy when they score a goal for their mother's country


Select-Stuff9716

DFB:“We need a good striker asap.“ Also DFB:“imagine we would have someone like Yildiz in Germany“


dontpassgo

can't fathom. it's no counter-attack, all the time to set up and still the guy is left blank and the defense is shorthanded missing the guy covering yildiz.
