Worst Player

to get capped for your country in recent years...?

England has dozens of candidates.

Seth Johnson, Francis Jeffers, David Nugent, Michael Ricketts...

Sven, especially in his early days gave caps all over the place..Chris Powell, Gavin McCann, Paul Konchesky, etc.

Could probably make quite a painful worst XI

where can i see the clicks?

Thomas Brdaric

Paulo Rink

Carsten Ramelow

Jens Nowotny


and many many more. The 1998-2004 era was simply awful, more crappy players being called up for die Mannschaft than in all the previous years combined.

ramelow and nowotny both great players, ramelow at the wc2002 was outstanding, and always brilliant for leverkusen, same to nowotny

-------------?
Mills-Gardner-?-Konchesky
?-McCann-Johnson-Guppy
-------Jeffers-Ricketts

Deisler, come on now. Nowotny I could understand to a certain degree, but Ramelow?!? The definition of anti-football.

Add Carsten Jancker to the list btw.

Barton? (for Debaser's team)

Richard Wright in goal perhaps? He had an awful debut against Malta!

Good plan. Only other one I thought of was Carson, but I felt a bit cruel putting him in.

No Smith for England?


For Netherlands, defo:
Urby Emanuelson
Sno
De Jong

No mention of Denneboom DD?

Paulo Rink is class

@blut

you are losing it

BIG TIME

Ramelow was a relevation at the 2002 WC

he even played brilliantly in defence despite being a midfielder

Jancker was also hopelessly underrated

hardly a star, but still quite useful

--------------------

as for Lauth: in his first game for Germany he scored TWO goals including the goal of the season

Next time you'll tell me that he should get a 'Ehrenspielführer' medal.

Wasn't Lauth considered a really hot prospect in his early days?

Yes, as was Marco Reich. But it didn't really work out, to put it mildly...

Auf speziellen Wunsch von Herrn blutgraetsche:

Arnd Zeigler damals: "Mit Jubelstürmen und Autokorsos wurde sie aufgenommen, die Nachricht, dass Carsten Ramelow seine Nationalmannschaftskarriere beendet hat."



@Bunny:
Yes. He seems to have a huge mental problem. The technique is there, no question, he just hasn't delivered anything in the last two years at least.

Vielen Dank, Frau anglophiler Igel.

blut

you are a sweet chap

but these days you and chrissi are all about agendas and dogma

the "Germany-hating" Observer asked about 15 English football "experts" (I know, still) about their World Cup First Eleven

Ramelow was featured in two team-sheets , i think

frankly, I think it's time we ALL took a holiday from this board

our German impartiality seems to have gone completely

Ach Otto, jetzt sei nicht gleich eingeschnappt, nur weil ich Deinen Helden Ramelow nicht mag.

by the way

NOW on DSF

"Das Klinsmann-Experiment" (at Bayern)

Yo Otto! Aren't you going to defend Paulo Rink? He was your first choice striker at Euro 2000.

Jürgen Klinsmann Fußballgott!
