I feel the discussions should be moved here. The Mannschaft thread is about the 'big guys' and since there are 101 pointless threads on this board anyway, what difference does one more make?
Anyway:
This was a game against, as you said, semi-professionals. How many times have we seen the 'big guys', i.e. the A-team struggle against similar opponents, simply because they weren't motivated enough?
And to judge Eilts' abilities as a coach on one game is just wrong, imho. I remember very well how the team played under him in 2006 and even after and they were good. Very good to watch. One of the problems that people forget about is that the youth teams have a pretty high turn-over so that it is difficult for both the coach and the players to form a team over those short periods of time.
If you don't like Eilts, fair enough, but be aware that it affects your judgement of him (just like me liking him has an influence on my view on the whole thing as well).

Against Eilts? Or what do you mean?
If you see how a team full of Bundesliga starters performed in an important match against semi-professionals, there is clearly something wrong.
You know my opinion about Eilts. I´ve never seen a German youth team playing so dull, lethargic and half-hearted. The players apparently don´t follow him.

I completely forgot about this thread. 
) we once again won't make it to the EM.
) but we also shouldn't forget that it was 'only' Israel, and no footballing world power at youth level, at home with a team still full of Bundesliga players, but once again we struggle and don't manage to beat those teams. 
Dunno, but this team lacks fighting spirit and someone who steps up in times when things don't go their way. It was a fair result in the end though. France had the edge over us in the second half, but didn't create any clear chances either to deserve a win.
