In short- a nazi stormtrooper in a football shirt. thought he was a great player. one of them that never got all the headlines but the work he got through was immenseThe most German sounding and German looking German footballer ever.
None of them got near the levels Schweinsteiger reached between 2012-2014.
Completely dominated the greatest midfield ever(Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta) leading Bayern to 7-0 aggregate win over Barcelona. Ran show for a Bayern side that won the treble and ran the show again in the Germany 2014 World Cup win.
But aye, never done it in England so he’s obviously not near the others...
This is a mental post tbh.
Xavi and Iniesta were often in the Ballon d'Or rankings (rightly so). Both of them were the best midfielders in the world for years. Bayern had a great side that season and they won the lot, but to suggest Schweinsteiger was better than them is ridiculous.
Andy Moeller and stefan Effenberg look like panzer driver from World War 2Him, Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer, all German as f***

I never suggested he was a better player than them.
I said he completely dominated that midfield at his peak, which he did.
Schweinsteiger was better than the players mentioned in the post (Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard, Vieira)
Actually, Karl-Heinz Rumminegge was more, being blonde and blue-eyed as wellClosely followed by Karl-Heinz Riedle
Wolfgang Wolf previously of WolfsburgAnd Stefan Effenberg
Pig HerderDoes his name not mean Pig Mounter or something? Seem to remember that being mooted when he was breaking through.
Not saying who was best but in the World Cup game when Germany humped England 4-1 (I think?) He dominated the England midfield which I assume included Gerrard and LampardI never suggested he was a better player than them.

I seem to remember a column that bordered on anti German race hate and it may have been McPish who penned it. Must have been doing something right if old gerry was annoyed.Gerry McNee wrote a piece on him saying how vile and nasty he was at the same time so there may well have been something in it
