Around noon today (Sunday) and at the top of the news....the drama of the German team having lost to Japan yesterday (4:1).
Flick (the coach) being fired? Well.....among the top three things in this discussion, yeah....if you fired Flick, then what? Kloop, Klinsmann, Nagelsmann?
Frankly, if you wrote up a list of 25 potential coaches.....I would imagine all of them would decline because of the intense pressure now in place.
Are the German players the issue? I think we've reached the point where other national players (England, France, Japan, Brazil) are just as good. On the US angle? We are probably five years away from having a US team that is as good as the German team. I think the Aussies are fairly close to a even-point.
Is this a worthwhile drama to play out? Most German women would say it's a 'joke'.
But here's the other odd thing. In basketball, the German national team probably could take on any NBA club today, and in 50-percent of games....beat the NBA team. In fact, with the Serbian team.....they could probably beat the NBA team in 70-percent of cases.
Sports is changing the landscape and quality of the games.
