Internationals this week

[Angryred]

Rafa destroyed Robbie Keane. Hasn't been the same player since being ****ed about.

I think you find it that Keane ****ed Rafa about as Rafa thought he was getting someone decent but he turned out to be gash so he was got rid!

[RedReet]

your question could have been expressing surprise at his selection... not that I'm saying he's not worthy.

Oh, in the 'how did Johnson get picked' sense?

Took me a while.

[Fredo]

I haven't seen the match last night, saw Carroll's goal on the highlights. He does look like someone who isn't very mobile though. Seems slow and sluggish but that's probably due to lack of match fitness. Haven't been impressed by him overall.

[Helios Creed]

Haha ....what?! Australia 2-1 Germany C.

Saw the German team and it was a scratch side to say the least. Still, nice win. I saw one Australian website proclaimed it 'revenge' for the World Cup demolition.

and revenge for Bananagate

:throws inflatable kangaroo:

[Fernandinho]

Gomez, Schweinsteiger Muller Podolski all started up front thanks. Freidrich was there and Tim Wiese and Hummels (who everyone is saying we should sign) with players like Klose and Goetze off the bench. And we weren't full strength either, our only good player cahill was injured....

I don't think its fair to write off that victory at all Shaggy you bitter *******

Bitter about the Australian football team

No wonder they lost if they played four up front.

[Shaggy]

Look at the Germany team

Wiese - Träsch, Hummels, Friedrich, Schmelzer - Bender, Schweinsteiger - Schürrle, Müller, Podolski - Gomez

[Fernandinho]

So then thats only schweingsteiger kroose gomez and muller in the starting team from last years champions league finalists with gomez and podolski having been subbed (that was how the team finished) and then gotze and hummels from the team who are destroying the german bundesliga this season. wiese has a good reputation and friedrich has international experience with germany. Either you think the german league is ****ing **** or you have been smoking too much

[Mike]

That German team

I was expecting Ozil, Neuer, Gomez, Khadera, Mertesacker, Lahm etc - oh Fernandinho how you have disappointed me

[Red_Polo]

Sorry that I am late to the party, but GET THE **** IN THERE.

Australia 2

Germany 1

If people think we are **** now they will never rate us. We might not have the best stars in the world but we create some of the best synergy out of any international teams in world football currently.

In a short space of time not that far back, Wales beat a full strength Germany team in a qualifier and did for Italy as well, but it didn't stop them being ****e. I'd say Australia are easily better than Wales, but likewise, that really doesn't stop them being ****e.

[Shaggy]

Three 1st teamers, whatever spin you put on it. That makes it more like their C team than B. Either way, three regulars and only three who started their qualifier at the weekend.

Manuel Neuer, Philipp Lahm, Holger Badstuber, Dennis Aogo, Per Mertesacker, Sami Khedira, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mesut Ozil, Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski, Thomas Muller

[Fernandinho]

Pfft, we are going to be top 20 again probably, that only happens by getting results. That Germany team was by no means poor. It wasn't their best 11 but as I said it wasn't ours either. Put in Lahm Ozil and Neuer and its basically full strength. Kroos may be more attacking my Khedira isn't much better if at all better and then throw in Mertesacker...

And as I said Gomez started the game...

[Fernandinho]

And once again, we didn't have our best 11 either.
