Was really surprised by Mesut Özil when he said " He did so much for HIS country". I think it should be " for OUR country"...

Just a linguistic feature... only every 3rd or 4th person would say "our" in that case, even if you'd only listen to fully patriotic people.

Might be, but i consider Mesut Özil as a person who doesnt identify himself a lot with Germany, he refuses to sign the anthem and his german is also not very very good

But it might be also a lack of intelligence

Please elaborate. AS much as I agree with you with regards to identification, I've never seen/heard his German being less fluent or in any way worse than like 50% of German population of German origin...

As i said, maybe its a lack of intelligenc, his german is correct but he speaks so slow and maybe because of that it sounds not fluent.

He speaks like a 10 year old kid.

He can not be compared with Khedira, who speaks imo flawless German, Sami is imo very intelligent.

Why do people put so much issue into not singing the anthem? Loads of Belgian players dont sing it either, not an issue here.
