The golf season has practically finished and we are on the international breaks with the football. I hate this week in September. Going out of my mind here. I feel like Pablo above. I have nothing to write about either. There were a few interesting football games that happened this week . Ireland got their draw with Switzerland. Wales bearly bet Azerbaijan. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick with England.
But the interesting game was The Netherlands versus Germany. The dutch won 4-2. But the Germans did not play well. They collapsed in the second half.Now the Netherlands are an excellent football team but I think the German's made life hard for themselves. Low has come up with a 5-3-2 set up when Germany do not have the ball. They sat back and waited for the Dutch to lose the ball. Once they got it Germany went on the counter attack. The problem was that they were leaving vast space in behind. The Dutch read this and Gini Wijnaldum capitalised twice. Low did not react to the Dutch and the game was lost. The Germans were playing a football totally opposite of the great Dutch team of total football.
It has not been the first time that Low did not reach to the opposition making changes. The German players were not very happy. They did not criticise Low's tactics directly but they did say some snippets in the media that were critical. You could read between the lines one can say.
Low denied the match was not lost because of the tactics. He put the blame on the couple of individual mistakes.
The players were not so sure.

When you run after the ball so much, it's tough mentally and then mistakes happen.

The team were not being true to their own aspirations.

All this has to be sorted out by tomorrow night with their must win game against a Northern Ireland team in first position in the group table. The counter attacking team that seeks safety in numbers at the back is far from fruition at the moment. Germany could be in trouble here.

I cannot stand watching the international matches. They try to make it out as if something interesting is happening but if it is not the world cup, nobody effing cares. Just about to watch a couple of reruns of Premier League matches that I missed. Arsenal v Spurs is up next on my schedule.

Tell us what you really think @deniskj . 😂😂😂. Even im not stir crazy to watch the reruns. Wouldnt want to watch spurs and arsenal again though 😭😭

Hehe.. I am pissed.
Trust me, I skipped the Southampton v United match. The only catharsis I can get is by enjoying the pain of other fans.

Truth is, we survived the whole break before the season began lol I'm sure we'd survive, despite the international games and Harry Kane, no game is better than league games lol, see you next match day.

The Neds have a great generation, well glued and covered in most spots on the field, I see them top 3 in 4-5 years. Germany is still building, and rebuilding... If you know well all the players of each team, how they can play and interact with each other, what are the direct and indirect incentives of each game, the proper betting odds and money on the table...ohh believe me, there is no time fore boredom!

Yeah the Dutch look awesome. Their defence alone are elite. As for the betting market , International odds are very skewed towards the bookmaker. Stronger teams meeting weaker opposition in this qualifying campaign. Take a game like England v Bulgaria. England were odds on to win. Doesn't make me want to put money on them as get very little in return. An accumulator then . One upset draw and money gone. Wales were looking that way the other night. It's a tough betting market.
