Reddit reviews Das Reboot: How German Soccer Reinvented Itself and Conquered the World

Kroos gets off on saying controversial things, most Bayern fans despise him for what he said about the club after he left for Madrid. As far as I'm concerned he's a snake, and I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. I never had a Kroos jersey, but if I had I probably would have thrown it away.

While it's true that Klinsmann had a rocky spell at Bayern (edit: a season Kroos was only around for half of, due to a loan at Leverkusen), his contribution to the DFB is pretty much unquestionably large, and was in part the focus of a recent book by journalist Raphael Honigstein, Das Reboot, which is a very interesting read, and includes several interviews and quotes from integral figures (Löw, Mertesacker, Schweinsteiger, Müller), who basically said that Germany would not have won the 2014 World Cup if it had been for Klinsmann and the groundwork he started. I think we all know that Klinsmann isn't the best at tactics, but it's frankly laughable and insulting to claim that he wasn't partially responsible for Germany winning the World Cup, even 8 years later.

A couple of things have happened since 2000.
