Neuer didn't have to come way out. Neuer chose to come way out. Only Neuer is capable of playing that way.

You should ask Warren Sapp

Why does everyone believe that Jogi is this tactical genius? It's simply not true. Don't believe on stupid documentary and Philip Lahm. Look at the Algeria game yesterday. This tactical genius plays Mustafi at outside back

He won the Gold Cup. This happened. He won CONCACAF qualifying.

No, national teams do not play for a championship every year. But also he has won a championship (and lead the US to first in CONCACAF qualifying) during his time at the helm for the USMNT.

Haha. That's not a fair comparison at all (and he has won a championship). He's never even coached a full season at club level. He completely remade a Germany squad and system that failed to win a game in the '04 Euros and coached the team to a 3rd place finish in the WC. Not bad for two years on the job. Then he led…

Doesn't have success?! How are defining success here? Must be one very narrow definition

Yes I am actually arguing with you because age versus level is hugely important when judging ceilings. He hasn't even reached Stanton's old levels yet.

In 2011, Stanton hit 40% better than average in the MLB while Springer was being drafted and putting up blah numbers in 33PA against kids far younger than him.

No shit. Because Stanton is in a different stratosphere from Springer. Stanton was tearing up MLB while Springer was playing college ball.

The 23yo's best days were surely behind him ...

a .249 BA? Wow. If only BA mattered in the slightest. Stanton is a monster.

Springer is the next Stanton?! Hilarious. Springer is two months OLDER than Stanton

In what world is Giancarlo Stanton a Gold Glove-caliber OF'er?

Such a boring defensive team that despite leading their final group game 1-0 (good enough to advance) they countered relentlessly gunning for more ...

He is an expert in making the most out of any touch

Completely different animals. Germany will dominate possession. Germany presses high. The outside backs play a much smaller role. Greece waits for the mistake, then immediately rushes forward.

Starting at AS Roma to the bench at Roma to playing for Toronto FC is an upward trajectory?

Their counter-attacks are exquisite. And far from conservative.

I'm sorry if you think they were in any way boring against Ivory Coast or while playing with 10 men against Japan. The second halves of those games were probably the most edge-of-my-seat halves of the tournament. And I have no real interest in any of those teams.
