Plucked from the mind of the Maharishi Jogi…

OK, over this last couple of years I have become increasingly disappointed with Jogi Löw, who these days is more like the “Maharishi Jogi” – somewhat smarter than the average bear. Or so some would think. From bizarre squad selections through to his iron-willed determination to play Mario Götze up top, we have seen plenty of gems from the Nationaltrainer.

I see this Friday’s game against Armenia as somewhat meaningless, and not much of a Testspiel as the opposition are, well… Not exactly testing. However, Jogi begs to differ with this little gem…

#Löw: "We deliberately chose to play Armenia as they play a similar counter-attacking style to Portugal."

Er, yes. Right.
