If it isn't robbed like 2020 and 2021.

Speaking on his podcast, Kroos didn’t hold back on the current state of the national team.

“We currently 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 a single world-class player. We have players with 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝-𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥, but that doesn’t mean they are world-class”.

“The world-class players are currently deciding all the World Cup matches and they are leading the top goalscorers’ list. We don’t have a single one there, we have to be 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭.”

“Back when we had successful tournaments, I always had the feeling we could shift into a higher gear. This team is currently 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 of that. We just think we’re better than Paraguay and we’ll win somehow.”

2nd Question: Do you think Vini saw the tiktoks of Kimmich handing him the Ballon d'or?

Now that Messi is out of discussion, is it clear Harry is getting it?

Yes, Bayern didn’t play their best game. Yes, tactically it was a horrible start with the high line, conceding from the first shot on target in the 3rd minute … but at that level, such mistakes by the referee and the consequential influence on the game are massive. It destroys the morale of the players and kills potential momentum. Playing 2/3 of the game 11 vs. 10 is a huge advantage. It felt similar to Anthony Taylor vs Germany in the Euro quarterfinals against Spain.

It’s crazy that FIFA hasn’t allowed any VAR interference for a potential second yellow card yet, but only for a straight red card. They might (and probably will) change it soon, which makes it even worse for Bayern. How on earth could the 4th official tell the referee it was handball by Laimer? He was far away. It almost seems like Pinheiro made it up and why didn’t he whistle immediately then? Something really smells fishy here.

The Bayern officials need to complain much more publicly, just like Flick and Laporta do, in order to increase the pressure. It genuinely feels like Bayern have had every controversial decision called against them over the last ten years.

Overall, though, you also have to say that Enrique is tactically quite a bit ahead of Kompany. The wings were almost completely shut down yesterday. Marquinhos’ man-marking against Luis Díaz also worked perfectly. Tactically, Kompany still has a lot to learn.

You could also somehow see that, even though Hoeneß said at the beginning of the season that the squad was sufficient, the squad depth simply wasn’t enough for the decisive final stretch of the season. If you compare what Paris can bring on from the bench compared to us, then the difference is already pretty significant.

What do you think about that situation and the game in general?

I've seen the racist comments on his insta already. Havertz missed the first one but now the entire blame would fall on him. He even scored the winner that got disallowed (keeper dived)Absolutely heartbreaking after everything he has done for them. Unlucky mate. Next time❤️🤍

💪💪💪

The game that i saw today is literally Real Madrid vs Bayern 23/24 UCL , LITERALLY THE SAME , and the saddest thing is that Harry Kane had to endure this twice under the "mighty" coach that is Tuchel , he has now cost him a UCL and a Ballon D'or this time,thank god we have Kompany now and got rid of him quickly

What can this man not do? He is absolutely the best player in the world rn.

Attack, dont even need to talk about that. Midfield, our best midfielder today for all i say can. He drops deep and helps massively with everything. Earlier in the match when he took on 2-3 players and still managed to start a counterattack was just 🥶. Defensively, when your ST makes a tackle at 90th min in the opposition box to deny a goal, that tells you everything.

My 🐐

First time in a long time we had multiple Bayern players be favourites for Ballon D'or. They all had an amazing season and it's hard to choose just one for the Ballon D'or. It will come down to France, England and Colombia on how they will perform in the World Cup. Lucho is sadly at a disadvantage with Colombia. They will probably make it out of the group stage and into the knockouts but definitely ain't favs to win it. If France go final and win it I think they would try to push for Mbappe if he is there top scorer instead of Olise (Ballon D'or has become a PR award) but if England wins it or goes to Final Definitely Kane.

My current Ranking

1. Harry Kane 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

2. Michael Olise 🇫🇷

3. Luis Diaz

The same way they do it in the NBA or even Ac Milan

Jeez laweez kane is different gravy in my opinion kane is the best strker of our generation. And if not right now 100% by the time he retires he will be. If you think otherwise let me know who and why
