Ich bin schon immer gegen "unsere mannschaft" gewesen, aber jetzt sag mal ehrlich wo ist Österreich diese wm?

as a striker, absolutely. i rated him as offensive mid though. have you already forgotten his goal against england?

also, i definitely was too generous with schlotterbeck. man is definitely F tier ever since he joined dortmund.

Germans that come to the prem tend to struggle these days. People think they’re good in Germany because they’re playing in the Blundersliga. The last German player that was (kind of) a success was Sane

Remember how Sancho teared up their league at 19 and then has totally flopped in the prem. Trashford and Anthony are starting ahead of him

Completely different way of playing, generally in premier league intensity is crazy and requires players to work full 90 minutes thus why plays like Fernandinho and other stamina tanks where so good in it. Gegenpress all around

Kagawa another good example of this as was with Mkhatarian
Doesnt make the league bad, just different

never reply with reason, logic, and perspective to transparent bait by mad hatters...

japan

all tier S

interesting. i'd definitely put guys like rodri, laporte, pau torres up there. and despite gavi's kopa trophy being a bit of a joke, i'd definitely consider him and pedri a-tier talents at least.

sounds kinda harsh, imo spain has had a very deep and talented squad for a long time

they look pretty good at this moment

Mexico a solid B

Great ball possession with little to no attacking creativity.

Nope. Both are absolute garbage. The only reason Ferrán Torres goes is because he's Luis Enrique's son in law. Eric García on the other hand drew Luis Enrique's attention while he worked in Barça's youth system (when Eric was 10), and they've bonded ever since.

Luis Enrique has openly stated on several occasions that he doesn't care too much about club performances, but rather he prefers focusing on team building with players he has chemistry with.

It's why his call ups are often questionable (players that don't even start with their clubs or are outright mediore get the call, while much better and in form players are left out), but it's also why the team is so well blended.



Gavi I'd say has great potential, but probably not A-Tier yet. Pedri, Pau, Azpilicueta and Rodri are A-tier. I'd say Laporte and Carvajal too, but their form is uncertain and the latter isn't going to play much any way.

That's not many A-tier players, at least not for Spain's standards... hence why I said I wouldn't consider many above B tier. Not doing the math, but we probably have around 20-25% A tier, 40% B tier, 25-30% C tier, and then we have Ferrán and Eric who are stealing a living. Normally you would expect Spain to have at least close to half of its squad in the S+A tier, but I can't say it is the case.



Well, note that I said mediocre players but a team that works. I would honestly not be interested in signing many of our players if I were a CL club, but that's not to say the team can't compete or play well. Players and team are different concepts, maybe I wasn't clear on what I meant.
