coogar:

dayo is a disgrace.....
as a right back, gary neville was better than lahm. as a left back, lahm(at best) = ashley cole. i won't even mention rio, terry, woodgate, etc.

coogar: neuer is the shittiest goalie in western europe....

lahm is not better than ashley cole - he's just lucky to be born a german. if lahm was english, he couldn't have given more than ashley has offered england.

lahm & hummels? very strong!!! however, you need more than 2 pieces to form a defensive unit. boateng is the same as matt upson & ryan shawcross is better than schmelzer.

you are a lunatic! if the sneijder team that destroyed brazil in the last world cup had faced germany, nazism would have been brought back to europe. robben would have made a minced-meat out of lahm or any zombie tasked to mark him.

coogar: for starters, they have a shyte keeper. there's room for improvement though but it seems neuer has lost that precocious ability of his when he was at schalke.

germany have no good defenders - relatively to the other departments of their team, their defence is too weak. their midfield is world class & the attack is very decent.

against the spains, brazils, italys & netherlands, etc they would get eaten alive. on another continent apart from europe, they have a zero chance of winning it.

You're confusing starters with tis ya criticisms

Neuer is a good kid. Even the Netherlands, Spains, Brazils, Englands etc wouldnt boast of such safe hand in a longtime. Inasmuch as the defence is a suspect, i think there are decent personnels down that department. I'd personally set them up this way Lahm [Rb] Boateng [CB] Hummels [CB] Schmelzer [LB] -- Gundogan [DM] Schwiensteiger [DM] -- Reus [RM] Muller [AM] Ozil [LM] -- Gomez [CF].

Nice team that can shyte on any turf.

Katsumoto:
I don't know about Gary Neville though.

And Neuer is not a shiite goalie.

Katsumoto:


If you are referring to full backs, that maybe debatable. But if you are looking at all defenders, then Campbell, Ferdinand, Bobby Moore are all better than Lahm.

And it is not impossible for the Netherlands to beat Germany.

dayokanu: Take out Gomez and move Muller to the top with Kroos in the midfield

A-40:

Campbell and Ferdinand better than Lahm?? Is it by the size of their head or the igbo wey dem dey smoke you dey use as your criteria

coogar:

the same treble-winner? the same diminutive neville that made beckham a demi-god in england? 400 caps for united, about 80+ for england. i don't want to mention the number of his league titles & other honours....
.

compare him to de gea, mignolet, boruc, stelekenburg, courtois, vorm, etc. neuer is typically a valdez. a very average goalie behind a powerful team

Katsumoto: IN MY OPINION - Campbell and Ferdinand are better than Lahm. Lahm is good going forward but is not that great defending. I wouldn't put him the class of the best full backs ever. Between the years 1998 and 2005, you will struggle to find up to 3 better than Campbell. Ferdinand has been at utd for more than a decade.

dayokanu:
And you think anyone takes your opinion seriously. You should sit side by side with Ali Baba and Basket mouth

LOL. Only a loon would put Lahm and Ashley on the same level. Ashley Cole is inferior to Alaba never mind Phillip Lahm

2 weeks ago Lahm sodomising EPLs finest

Mention how many countries have a better defensive back 4 than Germany. Boateng is currently better than any English CB and thats not even up for debate.

These tales of If my granny had a peenis he would have been my grandpa.
DIdnt Germany and Holland play at the Last Euros what was the result?

Germany topped the group and Holland was last after being sodomised by Germany

dayokanu:
Lahm is currently 29yrs, he is a treble winner, He has over 400 caps in the Bundesliga and 99 for Germany

5 Bundesliga, 1 Champions league one super cup and 4 nominations for Team of the Tournament at National Team competitions.

One has to be extremely retardded to compare lahm to Neville

Neuer to Cortoius, De Gea, Vorm and Mignolet? If there was any doubt about your insanity this removes all doubt

Katsumoto:

coogar: you are a tool....
so lahm took the ball off jesus navas & gael clichy & that is his credentials that he's better than ashley cole? sometimes, i think you have a plastic dïck permanently attached to your rectum.

isn't this the same lahm nani destroyed some seasons ago. i'm talking mortal destruction & not some flukey drives. nani destroyed lahm in munich & old trafford. that was the first time nani ever scored 2 goals in his united career & he was up playing against lahm.

england, spain, italy, france, holland, etc. germany's strength have always & would always be in the midfield. isn't that the reason balotelli(a man city bench-warmer) destroyed germany about 12 months ago?

senegal once beat france in the group state of a world cup. by your below average deductive reasoning, senegal is greater than france?

dayokanu:

Lahm is the best Full Back in the last decade no argument about that.

There is a reason he makes team of the tournament every gaddem time

Abeg which Campbell is that? I hope thats not stiff Sol Campbel that gets turned in and out for the fun of it?

coogar:

lahm has 5 bundesliga, neville has 8 league titles. lahm has one champions league title, neville had 2. i won't even compare other domestic competitons for their respective clubs. one has to be a compound fool to rate lahm over neville..

neuer?
i wish that imposter had moved to the premier league instead of the bundesliga where his only threat is lewandowski. the same neuer that conceded 7 goals to united in 2011? he's so shyte, anderson scored twice against him

chic2pimp:

Germany get level abeg. Right alongside your[b] Spains and Brazils.[/b] Or at worst a bit below. And Italy will do well if we can keep our key players fit.

coogar:

El Guapo:

Neuer is a good kid. Even the Netherlands, Spains, Brazils, Englands etc wouldnt boast of such safe hand in a longtime.

Katsumoto: You take your anti-english bias too far. Who turned Campbell and when was he turned? Just admit that you don't really watch the premiership.

Lahm makes team of the tournament because he has been a consistent member of a consistent team. Perhaps his consistency gives him a good shout for one of the best full-backs in the last decade. But he hasn't been above other stand-out performers by a long shot.

A-40:

The beauty of greatness is that its not an opinion. Once you are great you are great [facts only]

Phillip Lahm 4 Team of the tournaments (Euros,WC) Multiple UEFA Team of the Year member

Its an insult to even compare Lahm to Sol Campbell or Rio Ferdinand. Sol who? Rio who? No wonder England cannot make the semis of any major tournament in almost two decades now when the press keep hyping up average and slightly above average players

Katsumoto:

Katsumoto:

How is that a fact? How do you quantify and qualify this fact? Abeg leave this illogical greatness to the side.

I repeat, Lahm doesnt come to mind when discussing great defenders.

dayokanu:
Is this the same Ashley Cole thats everyones bitch even ordinary Aaron lennon? Aaron lennon thats no better than Pius Ikedia.

He went to 2 tournament as a LB he made team of the tourney, He went to two as a TB he made team of the tourney. Its only a gorrila that would even mention Lahm in the same sentence witn any of those tools
If Lahm was English, He would be the prime Minister.

Now go ahead and name the back 4 for these countries and compare them with Lahm-Hummels-Boateng-Schmelzer. About 12 months ago where was England, Holland and France back 4?

Maye you should tell us the last time Holland beat Germany at Senior team competition. Holland ko Hollandis ni

dayokanu:

Lahm has been consistently above every other full back in the last decade. Tell us Who are the other contenders we can consider and show us their achievements. Lahm is the Leader of the team both the National Team and the club.

He has been world class for almost the last 8yrs

Theres no anti English bias Its just telling it the way it is. England is a poor country in football simple. Its no coincidence that theyve not made a major semi finals for 17yrs now. If I tell you Joe Hart is a 3rd rate keeper you would say I have anti English bias. or wasnt this the same England that was molested by a bunch of German kids last world cup? Most of those who played the game for Germany were under 24yr at that time and had less than 10 caps before the competition.

The last world cup England was struggling to qualify in a group of USA, Algeria and Slovenia and you tell us about anti English bias. The only decent team they played brutally mauled them

Most english players would make the bench for other major footballing nation. Thats the fact.

GustavoFring:

I call BS.

You just compared Cambell to Lahm?

What's the basis of Comparison?

Katsumoto:

i am not stating that England is a great footballing nation but even nations that aren't great at football produce great players. For instance Weah, Giggs, Best.

And I don't rate Hart as well.

Your comparisons are illogical because you use team success to judge individuals. If you take Germany side by side with England, they are not mates. Germany is much better but that doesn't mean all German players are better than all English players. There are England players who are good enough that they would have played for Germany if they were German.

coogar:





they have a more balanced team than you lots.

van persie > gomez/muller
sneijder > goetze
robben > podolski
van der vaart = ozil.
de jong/van bommel > bastian/khedira.
their defence unit > germany's defence unit.
vorm/stelekenburg/krul > neuer & co.

even van gaal > joachim löw!

dayokanu:
neville has 2 CL interesting, tell us how many minutes he played in the 2007/2008 season when Manure won the CL
We are waiting

Why would Neuer move to the EPL to start with? To compete with Joke Hart or De Gea or Sczezny or who?

Katsumoto:

Defending - I rate Campbell higher in defending. I don't care about no freaking awards by UEFA or FIFA. I am judging for myself as a football lover.

coogar: we are talking about their respective peaks - ashley cole has waned over the years. we are talking of cole betwen 2004 & 2010.

all the countries i listed earlier had a better defensive unit than germany but germany have a better team overall. it's like spain - they have a weak defence unit but it gets papered over by their excellent midfield & attack!!!

they have a more balanced team than you lots.

I agree with this except for the bolded.

De Jong/ retired Van Bommel better than Bastian/Khedira?

Vorm better than Neuer
Van der Vaart = Ozil
