    Must say I Disagree, if anything feel he's underrated, the best passer of the ball in this competition, aswell as being completely relaxed and assured on the ball

    Haha Kroos is one of the best midfielders in the world right now, pulls the strings in the best national team in the world and the best domestic team in Europe.

    Don't know what it is, he's just not for me, not saying he is shit in any sense of course but with his price tag and reputation I really think he's overated.

    Yes, but that was 2 years ago, thought he was gonna be really special then, but now see him as another (good but overateed) midfielder.

    Was very subdued tonight, as was Schwinie. More to do with the hard work of the Italian midfield and backline than anything. The options just weren't there, the space wasn't there for much of the game, and Germany looked a bit uncomfortable in their formation.

    I can understand why you think he's overrated, as he's a player where, when he's at his best, you don't always notice him as he can often be the assist to the assist maker, pulling the strings. When that doesn't work, those kind of players can be pretty anonymous. That said, aside from maybe Modric, Pogba, and Iniesta, he's probably the most all around gifted midfielder in the world.

    Modric. I think he's the most underrated midfielder in football right now.

    Modric is the best CM at the minute IMO. Absolute class act.

    This sounds a lot like the criticism Özil gets as well. Technically Kroos is one of the most gifted players in football right now.

    Payet has had a good season but he was a nobody at Kroos' age. Even right now I think 99 out of 100 managers would pick Kroos ahead of Payet. (The one being Bilic) he does so many little things you don't notice while Payet grabs the headlines with the brilliant end product. Not that Payet isn't good as well, he just isn't Kroos.

    Nope, he didn't want to take it so much that he went first, just to get it out of the way

    Exactly this.

    You don't become a regular for Bayern then Real Madrid, and also Germany if you're not a world class player.

    For which I suspect he is highly grateful.

    always finds space, always available, never makes a ridiculously bad pass, never a hair out of place

    Interesting concept isn't it. How we can embed a mindset into our heads that seems to go against the mainstream view or opinion. Whilst I really rate Kroos, I am of a similar ilk to you when it comes to Ibrahimovic. Maybe it's because he's such an arrogant sod but I really don't get the hype and don't rate him (as proven in the Euros this year). Mind you, I wouldn't cross the street to watch him play anyway so have seen little of him; but I fully expect him to be a total damp squib in the premiership this coming season.

    So bad they actually had to comment because he made two poor passes in the same match.
