That was pretty obvious... the only question was offside.

Holy crap, he shot it low and slow to the corner? You gotta bury that up a little higher than that.

That was Schweinsteiger-esque. Poor penalty at this level.

That was a tight offside. Poles are walking the tightrope right now.

But you're right, thats also discriminatory. Germany was so wrong not booting these players and considering them unworthy to play for their national team after years of training and development.

They should be expected to conduct blood purity tests to determine who should play for their country? Should they mandate that these players' parents and grandparents are also German?

What exactly is your point? Do you know?
This isn't as complex as you want it to be. Germany has had a disproportionate amount of players on their roster not born there. Coincidence right?

That's just because all the best Poles are playing for Germany.

Based on the picture that you posted alone, you realise that 6 of those guys were born in Germany, right?

Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible.
