Bayern Munich made a triumphant return from the international break with a 3-1 victory over Mainz 05. It was not always pretty for the Bavarians, but there were some amazing sequences that gave fans a taste of how good this could all look once everyone is back in sync (and off of the injured list). Even with a banged up crew, Thomas Tuchel was able to push the right buttons enough to coax a victory out of his boys. Let’s take a look at what is on tap for this episode of the Postgame Show: A gander at Tuchel’s starting XI selections. A rundown of the scoring. Some thoughts on why the team’s defense looked so out of sorts at times. The lack of service to Harry Kane continues. Eyeing the positives of what could have been a disaster is Mainz could finish.

Germany and Mexico squared off in an international friendly — in Philadelphia, PA — at the same time as a Major League Baseball playoff game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona Diamondbacks and also with the Philadelphia Flyers playing the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL home opener. Needless to say, it was chaos in South Philly at the stadium complex as Germany and Mexico fought to a 2-2 draw, which felt...right. Let’s take a look at what is on tap for this episode: Checking out Julian Nagelsmann’s starting XI. A rundown of the scoring. The game was pure chaos, but was fun...and nerve-wracking...and I am mostly concerned for how anyone got home from that Park-nado that must have occurred in South Philly. Some thoughts on what we learned about Germany during this international break. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

Is Leroy Sane the best player in the world right now? INNN and Schnitzel have differing views. Why Harry Kane maybe needs to be more selfish.

Should Nagelsmann go with a strikerless setup for Germany? What kind of lineup can you make with the players Nagelsmann called up? How things can go very wrong against the USA and Mexico.
