proposal: the next time a "fan" runs onto the court/field and attacks a player, the opposing team does nothing to help him but rather gets in the way of security and lets the other team handle the attacker. A trip to the ICU may help to prevent copycats.

strong language to call that a GRAB. They were bothing running and you may call that a minor push. That could not have been called on his own. The "not playing the ball at all" on the other hand is a clear PI and he had his hands in there too. Not a Lions fan (Packers), but they got screwed on that one. But you have…

you're completely right, that was a slip-up on my part.

He atleast has a minor claim for american citizenship and playing for the national team, by living there for some time. Julien Green on the other hand lived his whole life in Germany (he barely speaks english, but perfect german... which only germans really do) and was brought up by the german system alone. He…

I just took a quick look at some rosters of Germanys earlier U17 squads (randomly picked the 2006 and 2009 Euro squad) and it is not filled with later stars other than Kroos, the Bender twins or Götze. Thats 4 out of 44, maybe not enough for the amount of play the Zelalem and Green "comitment" got. With such young…

That just opens the door for everybody "accidentally" stepping on somebody. The next guy might just be intelligent enough to act surprised and apologize for his "misstep".

I probably only know about five german players under the age of 18, so it may not convince anybody if I say "who the fuck is he?", but as for Julien Green (who isnt able to make the squad of the god awful Hamburger SV): It doesnt get any traction of some sort in any german media I have heard of. If not for the…

It's not for traffic violations, but for every fine a court orders you to pay. Unfortunately the traffic fines are standart fines (guess why Reus didnt care). I think the Swiss have a system were the traffic fines are linked to your income.

The dude is simply a beast.

I hope he goes on to become a superstar. In a league with so few people to like, with Durant turning heel and joining the ranks of Lebron, Melo and Kobe, I'm really counting on him.

you missed last years CL didnt you? He scored some cheap goals at the end of games and ripped his shirt off and was doing the Balotelli. tomorrows newspaper photo belongs to him, always!

unfortunately: the voting for the Ballon d'Or is already done.

As a foreigner, let me try to make a point. we start with a metaphor: Once my grandma told me to do something and I told here that she is not my boss because I didnt wanna do it. She slapped me. I ran to my mother and told her that I was slapped by my grandma. Her reaction before slapping me again? "what did you do?"

"potentially dangerous"? Bayern played City 6 times over the last 4(?) years and it followed only one script: the 3 first meetings every year Bayern outplayed City to a degree that was comical. The second meetings often were under certain circumstances, like last night: Bayern is already qualified and has nothing to…

I'd really like to know how many of Ronaldos teammates genuinely like him. On a team with the absolute top talent you can get as a player, he is still bitching about mistakes by his teammates and passes not coming his way. On the national team at the WC (with slightly less talent than in Madrid), his…

I never liked the "the NFLPA agreed to the CBA"-argument. The owners/ginger could have made it part of the CBA that, in the offseason, players would be mandated to serve as house-slaves for the owners on 3 weekends a year. What could the players do? strike and cut short their 3 year careers or take the pill and make…

And just like in the UN, none of these small countries has anything more than a vote that can be totally ignored by the powerful nations. UEFA is much more powerful than every other nation combined, all it would need is 3 nations to throw a fit: Germany, Spain and England (the clubs). There would be no WC that anybody…

Vitali is the politician (now).

I was making that 'most replaceable and worthless'-argument forever. There are probably some good businessmen, who market their teams well on the local level, something no NBA fan would ever recognize on a leaguewide level, but: there is simply no reason for letting the owners make THAT MUCH money, they're…

man he is the best basketball player in the world, but his pre game pep talks are just the worst. They start 5 points down.
