Yes is he better than Messi like loews says ?

Not yet. I don't doubt he can be one of the greatest players though. Give him a year or two. His biggest challenge will be to stay fit and actually break through at Bayern next season.

4 star jersey is coming in today. I will be there at 10am on the clock and get me that TRIKOT!

Thats not what Loews implies, do you agree he is technically superior to Messi ? At the moment at least

He isnt technically superior and probably never will be. Messis pace dribbling is incredible and the main reason for him being the GOAT. BUT Götze was the better player in the worldcup final, because he actually scored.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, City & United. I don't think you can discount United after one poor season under a poor manager. Mental fuck-ups at Arsenal and then at Liverpool were the only reason neither of those teams won.

I think/hope the lack of action in Europe might be a good thing for United. It will give them time to regroup, time for Van Gaal to settle in, and allow them to focus on the PL.

Was a great goal too. Deserves a mention when it comes to goal of the tournament.

I was waiting until the world cup was over to pick up a jersey, since they were $100 during. I didn't think that since Germany won they might stay that price, while the eliminated countries are already 20-30 cheaper.

Maybe I'll wait until next year or something.
 

Meh..

As neutral the goal was awesome but it was also a fuck up by the Argentine defense, for 112mins they didn't allow someone to run into the box unmarked like Gotze did, that one fuck up cost them the game, in that one min that lapse in concentration cost them the game.. Loew can say whatever but his team was the benefactor of an extra day's rest which showed in by the 70th min Arg looked gassed...because for the in those 70mins Arg looked the better team IMO, then Germany took over...

I am expecting a dumb ass salty tear reply but i am giving you a honest break down..

You cant ever play a match and expect or hope not to concede a goal. Every defense is prone to mistakes and most goals in football result from mistakes in the defense or from bad passes. You have to score to win. Argentina didnt score and let Germany attack, let them play their game to use the few counter attacking opportunities. Argentina lost because Messi, Higuain and Palacio failed to score their big chances.
 
Still a great looking jersey :) I still rock the one from WC 2010

Will get the current one with 4 stars as soon as i get into the official online shop. It's still down since yesterday...

jersey was GOAT until I got it in the mail. I really hate the weird physical lines that run alongside the vertical stripes there. Feels really really weird to me.
 
I like the current away jersey better, but the 2010 version was a beauty as well. Not a fan of the new home jersey. Only one out of the four I don't have

AFAIK, only on his twitter account @woodyinho.

It was devastating. I watched the match he got injured in. And it was brutal man, just brutal to see him there, the hope of Germany, lying in pain :(. Im a bayern supporter but I love Reus. Hes my favorite German player.

I just hope he realizes he contributed to the championship even if not in a direct way.

Grats Germany, really enjoyed that performance and finally... it took both other teams I was supporting to be eliminated before hand but my 3rd pick won something! And wow it really was something! :D I was beggining to think any team I picked was cursing them lol.

Props to one of the German wags too, she was top tier.

It's sad but it's the fate of nearly all coaches who become institutions. In American football two examples would be Tom Landry and Don Shula.
