Ozil isn't as good as you are making out. Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta and Xavi are much better than him. I can see your Ozil's no.1 fan with this article.

When Ozil turns it on, like tonight, he is phenomenal.

But he is nowhere near as consistent as the players GGC mentioned.

Messi and ronaldo are more effective especially when it comes to scoring, but he is definitely better than xavi for more who is beginning to wane and rest on his barca reputation ...how many assists does he have this tournament, largely been anonymous and his hitting more sideward passes then ever before if that was ever possible.

He is definitely on iniestas level if not a tad bit better. Again iniesta has really shown this tournament, i dunno maybe its his hunger

if truth be told i have hidden aspirations that one day a certain jack wilshere can follow in the footsteps of mesut ozil. jack is probably the one kid i have huge expecations of from the englang camp

Yes he does not have pace, the heading, and the shooting ability , now let's forget the next bit and go to you're title comparison


Which of the above apply to ZIZou



No comparison as ZZ was a leader, albeit a genius one.

German tv station had a public vote and they decided that Ozil was the worst player on the pitch.

I thought he was exceptional.

He wasn't even that good tonight.
============================

all he needed was a goal, but the thing is he was not even out of second gear. plus its not just tonight, over many many moons

true but he does not require bastian to perform well in order for him to do well. He will run the show regardless of how others performs.

Iniesta is the main man as mid-fielders go at this tournament

Ozil is an attacking midfielder, Iniesta and Xavi are centre midfielders. You can't really compare them.

Imo Iniesta and Xavi are the best centre midfielders in the world while Fabregas and Ozil are the best attacking midfielders.

i know but when we look back over their careers i expect zizou to probably shade it but still

No Way!!! What where they expecting of him....this certainly worries me as an england fan

Kamran, iniesta and mesut are perfect comparisons they like to hold the ball and run with it at the same time as finding passes. Id take ozil over iniesta any day of the week.

As for xavi, hes been a great servant of the game but come what the final (assuming its germany v spain) ozil i can guarantee will show up xavi

No they're not. Iniesta is a central midfielder, he gets forward, but he also controls the midfield. He dictates the tempo. Ozil is an out and out attacking midfielder, his job is the create and score goals.

Iniesta and Xavi control games and make key passes, not score goals or make assists (although they do it a lot).

Yeah, because Ozil has shown Xavi up in the past hasn't he? Ozil will never show Iniesta or Xavi up, they're a level above him.

Class player though.

Am I the only one not overawed by Schweinsteiger?

Good player though.

translated as mesut can do everything iniesta can but more.

Me too redconn.

He's a good player, but not as good as people think. He's on a similar level to someone like Modric.

posted on 23/6/12

Schweinsteiger is very good but is a little overrated imo. He had an absolute shocker tonight. His passing was dreadful. But i think it was just an off day.

No.

Ozil cannot control a midfield like Iniesta or pass the ball as accurately. Iniesta is better in pretty much every department. Passing, touch, vision, spatial awareness and just all-round technical ability.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

I preferred him in all his previous tournaments. He is more desciplined in this tournament, he used to be all action and thats probably why many took to him
