And all of a sudden the whole Asia tour by Germany was absolutely worth it.

    Still misses too much, and the goals were put on a plate for him. He nearly infected Podolski with his illness of not knowing how to score. The defence looked very tired out there as well, not sure this gives the players confidence having a tough time vs China and most of the time UAE.

    Still no solutions in midfield if Ballack and Frings aren’t there, this requires serious surgery, maybe Schweinsteiger in there, Ballack holds and Podolski and Piotr on the flanks.

    LOW WAKE UP!

    Well, I feel for the German team being tired since it was over 100 degrees Farenheit out there, but as for Gomez, all I can say is that he was extremely lucky and had the perfect passes and open shots that no one could miss… I’m just saying that just because he scored 4 goals in one game all of a sudden doesn’t mean he is a great player. Actually I prefer Podolski over Gomez any day for his consistency. Gomez missed two clear-cut opportunities right at the begining of the match that he has proven to miss over and over again not only in previous international friendlies but also in important competitions like the Euro 2008.

    Is bad when he doesn’t score., but its even worse when he does. WTF is wrong with u. the last goal was all on his own k.

    Seriously. You’d rather he missed the tap-ins? He needed to get his confidence back in the Germany shirt; hopefully this goes some way to restoring it.

    I’m with Lissette and Abby on this one. This post is not about assessing the difficulty or quality of any of the four goals he scored or whether he is a quality player, it’s all about him getting rid of mental blocks and restoring self confidence.

    When you are in the wrong frame of mind you miss an absolute sitter, like the one against Austria and when you’re relaxed and confident you score from a difficult angle like his fourth goal in the game against the Emirates.

    829 minutes. I had almost forgotten how many minutes Gomez has not scored for the national team. Not meaning in a bad way because I had almost lost count how many minutes had gone by in regards to how long has he not scored for the national team.

    I only remembered the first thing I saw when I was looking at the teletext today and it reported Gomez ended his goal drought. Good that the drought is gone. Let’s hope that is the start of what’s to come for him in the national team.

    Thanks for the videos Jan, by the way. This match and the one against China was not shown here, you know. In regards to Gomez’s fourth goal, that was from quite a tight angle.

    That last goal was great. Perhaps now he can relax and find the mental space that allows him to feel so comfortable in the Bundesliga. Especially since he’s now a Bayern player, the fans will be counting on him to do club and country proud!

  • Nick

    Well it’s good he broke his duck. Now if he can score that last goal against the Netherlands in the final in South Africa…

  • Tomek

    lol the Netherlands won’t even get that far.

  • Nick

    Finland really imploded against Russia today. That leaves us all to do in Moscow then there is always the Azerbaijan SSR to deal with. Just watch Berti Vogts screw Germany up again.

  • Kevin

    Hey all new to the blog, big Deutschland fan here. I’m not going to lie, I hated Gomez after the Euro’s. Hopefully he will start putting away chances like this and gets his club performances duplicated with the national team. Russia is right on our tails now, so lets hope the rest of the qualification is stress free.

  • Frank

    Gomez is the most talented and the best german striker by far and not only because bayern payed 35 Million Euros. He is still young and has all skills to become a realy great player also on the internationale stage.

    I think podolski will have a great year at home in Köln where ge gets the support he needs and Klose comming back we will have a really good number of strickers.

    sadly the rest of the team isn´t that good
