"I could watch club-football for 50 years and it would never mean the same thing to me as my national team."
I couldn't have said it any better; honestly that is exactly how i feel.
Problem is i never really find people who prefer country over club, so its nice when i find that i am not alone. What makes it even worse (and baffling to people) is that i am not German, i have absolutely no affiliations with Germany; yet i absolutely love everyone involved with the German NT from regulars to substitutes, the coaching staff, the PR/management people ...... my devotion to this team is at times ridiculous.
IMO the main draw of the German NT (and Spain too although i think the German style of play is less boring) they are able to draw people in from different walks of life because of the way they play, and no Germant NT has had as much of an impact on me as this current one has (they are just so effing entertaining, i mean like you said those first 60 minutes were as close to perfection as any team could get).
As such i realy hope Jogi gets his act together and starts fixing stuff because I don't want him to leave without winning something with this team and this group of players, it was his philosophy that brought this new fresh approach to German football and i think he is due for a just reward. He has managed to revitalise the mifield and attacking options but still has to fix that which has long been broken .... the German defense, and he has to because then i honeslty think the German NT will become unstoppable.
