Ferguson explained: "I think there was such expectation on him. There was talk he was going to be the player of the tournament. Don't forget, that was the prelude to the whole thing - he was going to be the star, he was going to outshine them all - (Lionel) Messi, (Cristiano) Ronaldo. So that level of expectation comes into it. And he's not got great experience of [playing in] the World Cup really. You wait, in four years' time you'll see a different player.''

Funny, that sounds a lot like what they said in.....2010?
The 'White Pele' is looking like a huge bust, I think almost all of the major English players are hugely overrated.

"It's about order on the pitch," he said. "That is the most important condition for good football. The players should know their place in the basic structure of the team, so that no-one thinks he can run all over the pitch. Certain rectangles must always be covered."
Low also demands that his players constantly search out space while the team is in possession. "I want to see players getting into space and asking for the ball. This makes the game more fluid and dynamic.
"I knew that some of our players are extremely good at that - Ozil, Poldi, Muller, Kroos - and I said to the team, 'If you don't move around the pitch, you're not even going to beat teams like Canada!' That was our golden rule from day one. We go over it in theory and in practise every day."

Why Jogi? Why? Has Canadian Soccer not suffered enough? I love the Germans, but come on. You could have said: American Samoa and gotten the same result.
