      People Should Judge Others objectively on their accomplishments not put in your own subconscious bias,

      Van Gaal has more trophies than 99% of coaches.

      van Gaal who had not lost a competitive game with Holland in normal time for over 30 or something silly? With that Dutch squad?

      These two clowns do not understand football, absolutely stealing a living.

      Van Gaal is a great manager and he might actually fix some problems of German NT. But again DFB is too prideful to appoint non-German coach as is the case with top international teams.

    18. Feral Three Dog on

      I do not want a Dutch coach for Germany. They are our biggest rival and it will forever be that it took a Ductchman to fix the German team. I really don't think this will happen nor do I think most German would.

    19. David De Sousa on

      He is not a bad coach. Is he the best no but Germany can do alot worse. Alot of people are mad cause he said the truth about Argentina. Soft penalties and some penalties that weren't (Poland and Croatia).

      ESPN and the media should give CR7 more credit , Last year he scored 1 goal in 26 matches played with 14 full matches played and it was a penalty and won Bench D'Or . Season before that he scored 18 goals against Norwich City and Brentford with 0 goals 0 assists 0 chances created against Liverpool or Man city and won Garbage D'Or and he also assaulted a child with disability and won Criminal D'Or . Now he is busy blaming every teammate every coach from every club and country for his failure and won Failure D'Or as a penaldo fan my only option is to call everything "Rigged" with 0 legal documents and fake theories to create my own happiness …,,

      Van Gaal would be a good fit. He nearly beat Argentina based on his tactics almost entirely. He beat the US by out-thinking them. His set-piece play against Argentina was absolute genius.

    32. Reinier Roland on

      Van Gaal would do an amazing job with the German national team. It's undoubtedly a world class coach – with a bullet proof track record. I don't understand why some folks would underestimate his credentials. I favour him big time above Nagelsmann.

      ˋThis was more of a friendly for France than it was for Germany‘ how so? Germany didn’t play more of its first team players than France did (by far) and also played several out of position. On top of that the French dived 3 times. 2 times inside the Penalty box and then cried for a penalty and 1 time right before the end of the match just outside of the penalty box in order to get a free kick to have a chance to equalize. The french also injured Gundogan in the first place because they were too fired up in. Their pressing and Gundogan then had to be subbed off.

      Also you know very well that Germany is seen in France as a rival and it’s always an important duel for them because they want to show that they would be better… while in Germany the mentality and media talk is that it’s a friendly between 2 brother nations… So seems to me that Laurens and ESPN as a whole are yet again lying just in order to save face for yet another poor french performance, while doing their favourite thing at same time which is downplaying and even clowning Germany. Deschamps even subbed everything in that he has to offer in offense, while Germany didn’t even bring Reus, Fullkrug, Musiala, Adeyemi in their offense. Also no Kimmich, Goretzka, Gosens, Kehrer, Neuer.

      LvG going to Germany will only add drama and fire to the fuel. Germany should give time to any coach they hire. The coaches have to rely on Werner, Havertz as striker. They used to have players like Klose, Muller, Podolski, Klinsmann, Heynecks, Voeller up front.

      Imagine an Italian and French laughing on Germany. Italy last played a world cup knockout game in 2006 and last played in world cup in 2014.
      France won a world cup because of Africans. It was not French team that won it was more of an African Union.

      Love your show guys! Highly disagree with you on this one! Van Gaal is a world class, legendary coach who's proven himself at both club and international level. 2010 WC final and amazing performances + 2022 great team & barely lost to world champions again. Was also great with Ajax & punched above his weight with Bayern.
