Blahzil - The Germans. Unquestionably the winners?

Gary Lineker, my deepest respect for him.

very good Mr.Lineker..always fair..realy fun to watch him..and they won, you where right from germany

I like Gary Lineker, he comes across as a objective, humorous and easy going guy. And he don't plays the on german/british stereotypes, which I find noteable. By that I mean he don't dive deep into germans are like a robotic/emotionaless/robotic/clinical machine that much, but portraits us more like we're "efficient" which I like.

It is always the same story: When Germany wins, people would like to pretend that they just got lucky and stuff somehow went their way. That is such nonsense. The Germans imaginary luck is always based upon hard work. People who know their craft often make it look easy because they know what they are doing. From a German perspective the idea that an English team would somehow expect to get through to the next round, when they are up against Germany in a shoot out is quite a joke. It is very well known that the Germans practice for those situations and are therefore prepared and the English could not hit the goal if their life depended on it. Germans tend to win these shoot outs like 80% of the time because they are prepared for it. And seemingly the English team does not prepare for it, but just hopes to somehow get lucky. One would think that after being relatively unsuccessful for over 50 years during World Cup Tournaments that a country would wake up and correctly analyze what the reason is that other countries are more successful but as long as the English experts and commentators are so clueless as to believe in luck, instead of understanding the very obvious reason for the German teams succes, we will not have to worry about England getting anywhere near the finals in these worldcup tournaments. Even the Americans, who are totally new at this, seem to easily understand that luck has little to do with it.

Things always going well for Germamy? In 2010 Ballack missed the WC due to an injury. In 2014, one of the key players, namely Reus, couldnt join the WC either due to an injury. Khedira went into the WC with just recovered from an injury. Schweinsteiger went into the WC with not fully recovered from an injury. He couldnt even play the first match. Before the quarter-final, half of the team catched a cold, because they had to play under very high tropical temp and right after in the cold temp of the Brazil South. Right before the final started, Khedira got injured and couldnt play. Loew had to replace him just minutes before the game started with Kramer. Then Kramer got knocked out after 15 min and played another 15 min with having a blackout. So they basically were just 10 players for like 15 min. Wouldnt say things always going well for them. Not at all. They just didnt make such a drama out of it and pointed it out, but rather stayed focused. And that they had a benefit of not playing editional time is something, is a very well deserved and compiled benefit. Their own achieve. that goes back the quality they had. So the benefit of that was well compiled and deserved. And the extra days is something that runs through every tournament. This is part of the game and if you wanna win the cup, the whole team has to be fit enough to cope with that and playing 7 games on a high level.

Gary Lineker  was an Wordclass Striker but that was not his biggest talent.Your Show is best Football Show in the TV.I watch every Episode on youtube cause you are the best.Greets from Hamburg,Germany and thanks for your Show!!!

In Germany every football-fan knows famous words from Gary Lineker....." A football game is about 90 minutes.....and at the end, germany wins".

Great Guy, made us germans fear in 1990 with the 1:1

it is hard for the English to give any praise to the nation they hate the most - yet Linecker is a true sortsman

Lineker was always one of my heros... greats from a german!!

Such a fair sportsman! Absolutely love him

Here is the truth as I see it: The reason the english cannot understand why Germany is so good is because they refuse to believe it, because, well because it is Germany. And so again and again they fail and Germany reaches the 8th final of the 16th appearance with now 4 titles. That's 1 final every 2nd cup and 1 title every 4th. Semi final on AVERAGE (a bit more actualy). What England should do is look at Germany, learn and understand their game. You learn from the best and right now that is Germany and they have always been at the top or near to it. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. -Aldous Huxley You cannot just pretend Germany has a weak defence and mediocre strikers (until they are the highest scorers of all time) and expect to win anything. Understand the player's strengths. It is harder when they don't seem as flashy and athletic. Mertesacker and Hummels are slow I heard a lot. Do you think we really care? If you have a sweeper behind them does it even matter? Yet the pundits keep mentioning it like they found a weakness and then they bet against Germany... Until the last competition the english team did not even train penalty shootouts... And you expect to win one? It's not all luck you know? Remember Lehmann's notes vs Argentina? Even winning penalties requires effort and a close look at your opponents. Not just luck and nerves of steel.

Germany is so often underestimated - because nobody wants them to win, they are always regarded as the one's who 'got lucky' or 'fumbled through', which is why this WC had everyone so shocked, even though Germany made it to semis and finals almost constantly in the past couple of tournaments

I let you all in on the secret of the German success vs. teams like England. I mean of course there are cycles, some years one team is better, some years the other. But in 2002 for instance, England had the better team, yet Germany reached the final. And why did Germany win vs. England in 1990? Here it comes. The secret can be distilled down to one word: Preparation. It starts with the team. German coaches don't just select the best 23 performers of the last year, but the best unit. Then they extensively prepare the team while their scouts find out absolutely everything about the opposition. In Brazil they built their own camp because nothing that was available fit their requirements. And penalties are of course something you can prepare as well. It's not the luck of the draw as English coaches want you to believe.

Here is the cue to winning WC for England. Don't go into extra time in the play-offs and then face Germany. Oh wait, you should make it through the group stages though.

I loved his blahzils! Lots of love to you Gary🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

GERMANY‼️♥️

0:22 ouch...

Wonder why YouTube recommended me this now 👀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

In 1990 England were so much better than West Germany, the German goal off Paul Parker in the Wall was so jammy. But it was destiny. Germany had just been reunited and had history to make. They played in their green shirts and we in the Irish bar in Düsseldorf lustily sang “c’mon you boys in green”. The best team England ever had at a World Cup (since 66), with Lineker bagging a beauty. I still to this day, do not understand how West Germany hung on for the inevitable penalty shoot out. A great time to be young and Irish in Germany. Ich werd’ es nie vergessen. Niemals. But I felt for the English lads.
