Germany played Kazakhstan today, winning the match 3-0. The line-up was a bit unusual for the Germans. With Klose and Gomez both unavailable, they were required to play without a designated striker. Therefore, they went with the 'False 9' formation. Götze would assume the position of striker with Özil centered behind him, Draxler on the left and Müller on the right. That's about as much as I know about that...  :)

Training Pictures from Kazakhstan

There were some incredibly cute training pics to come today - I mean reaching hitherto unsuspected levels of ado.orablness on the Mesutmetre of ado.orableness - for sheer bug-eyed determination and crinkly-earedness.

Echo Award Update

Remember Mesut plumping "just friends" Mandy's nomination?

Özil: "Incredible, how quickly time passes..."

Interview link to the original German

Playmaker at Real Madrid, playmaker for Germany, Mesut Özil stands at the centre of the Royals and the National team. In an interview with the DFB website’s Steffen Lüdeke, Özil talks about his development, about the development of the national team’s game, and about the World Cup Qualifier against Kazakhstan on Friday (19:00 pm, live on ZDF) in Astana and on Tuesday (20.45, live on ARD) in Nürnberg.

DFB.de: Mr Özil, on the weekend you were switched on at the start of half-time for Real Madrd in the game against Mallorca. You brought a reversal of fortune. Madrid turned around a 1:2 deficit into a 5:2 win.

Mesut Özil: I didn’t decide the game on my own. We raised our game as a team and with a bit of luck made our goals. Even though Barcelona is a good way ahead of us, we still want to win every game. That must be a requirement of Real Madrid.

DFB.de: 3 years ago you made your debut for Real Madrid in the game against Mallorca. How often do you think of the beginning?

Smidgens of Samisut, among other things... )

Michael Ballack - lately the captain of Germany - will be playing his farewell game in Leipzig. He had a slightly acrimonious split from the national team.

According to Bild, stars like coach José Mourinho, Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole (all Ballack's teammates at Chelsea) and Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mesut Özil and René Adler are expected to be invited.

When Mesut first arrived on the national team Ballack was very kind and said that "he's the number 10 we've been waiting for..." Michael was always wonderful! He was bound to have an eye for talent!




And from this summer:

Michael Ballack has said that you could be the first German world footballer after 21 years (note: Matthaus won the trophy in 1991.) Do you believe it?

It flatters me that Michael said that...

Mini-Mesut-Michael Spam... )

It's art

Someone in the video department over at the dfb website has been feeling very artsy-fartsy recently and graced us with several slow-motion videos of the NT. Which wouldn't be that bad if they didn't also include music that ranged from overly cheesy to overly dramatic and made me facepalm half the time. I blame GEMA and the need for CC-music for this.

Anyway, this time however, they chose a very deserving subject for the video and picked tasteful music. The video is simply called: Mesut Özil - 'Art'. I wholeheartedly agree.

Özil mal anders: Eindruecke vom Frankreich-Spiel



And because that's not the end of the world's love for Mesut these days, the German NT fan club picked Mesut as 'Man of the Match' ahead of Ilkay Gündogan. You can read the english article with yet another heap of praise for Mesut here.

I guess we all watched the game yesterday, and I think we all can be very pleased with the performance of our beloved boy. I won't delve further into analysis here, because that's [livejournal.com profile] jenny_jenkins's job which she does extraordinarly well. Only let me say this: I'm on to you, my darling Captain and you, too, Müller! You prevented a Samisut hug! I wasn't pleased!

The bottom line is: Everyone loves Mesut. The German press was full of well-deserved praise for him, so I thought I should share two articles with you. They've been translated by me, and suzanne410 (we all know she exists, but lj refuses to acknowledge her user name o_O) looked them over. Thanks a lot, darling!

Give me something to read! )

Because I really ought to be doing something more productive with my evening. Saw these pics on Tumblr and couldn't resist adding some "creative" captions. I don't know how the actual conversation went, but could it really have been that far off from this ... ?

Lukas had to have said SOMETHING! Look at the smug look on his face while Bastian glares at him. They should make wearing microphones while on the pitch compulsory! >:)

Random caption contest! Come on, guys, take a crack at it! See if you can out-perverse me! XD XD

(Also, AGAIN, that creepy ass Slenderman-wannabe antler trophy thingie lurking in the back ... )

Could have just posted these in the comment section in the previous spam, but they're too cute for words to be accidentally overlooked and thus deserve their own post ...

Boateng voicing some sort of discontent, judging by his expression, yet it only succeeds in amusing Mesut.

Guys, I have fallen for these two, HARD! ^_^

Sorry for the lack of posts. Am currently in the middle of having all four of my wisdom teeth extracted (two out, two to go) and when I am buzzed up on anaesthetic and a surplus of morphine and/or ibuprofen it is in everyone’s best interest that I refrain from much online activity.

Yes, I promised to do whichever bromance got the most requests, but democracy is overrated so Perzil will have to wait because an unexpected contender has thrown itself into the headlights of my Fanmobile. Couple of days ago, this appeared on Mesut's Twitter ...

Full speed ahead to shipping this Boatzil! )
