Has to be Klinsmanns charme to get the DFB to schedule these friendlies with the US to the most inopportune times. for the 2nd time right after the season with a boatload of german players unwilling to cut into their holidays.

the worst part of the story: “perhaps the best women’s soccer goalie in the world.”

His speech was bonkers and with his massive accent I kept thinking to myself “I hope everybody knows he’s not german. he is swiss! swiss! We’re not taking blame for him!”

Whats with Gottfried Dienst and Tofiq Bəhramov, who, after their WC-final, had a suspicious lifetime supply of tea and 3 pet lions each?

“We will continue to work with the relevant authorities and we will work vigorously within FIFA in order to root out any misconduct, to regain your trust and ensure that football worldwide is free from wrongdoing.”

If they didnt do it by now, they never will. Having England and the US screwed over in favor of Russia and Qatar, wasnt enough. Changing the WC from summer to winter and thereby costing the european leagues money hasnt brought them out in full force. I thought FIFAs mingling with the club schedule would be the thing…

him talking to Morris, I could listen all day. Hope his new job doesnt take time away from that.

Its the poor countries who will not join. As idiotic as this may seem, every country, no matter how small, has 1 vote. Making Andorra as powerful as Germany (who has more [paying] federation members than most countries inhabitants). Every country gets the same money by FIFA, roundabout 200k € per year. In small or…

That was after they lost the final to Chelski. Arjen had a little much Ronaldo in him that year, always playing for himself, no passing up. He missed a penalty in the Bundesliga and as customs dictate, another player is taking the penalties now, till he misses one. Next penalty (that one against Chelsea, where Bayern…

since even the wifes of owners are carried out to the NFL-public, so that everybody can moan a billionairs wife, thats just the next logical step. We’re all just not thankful enough for the good things filthy rich people do for us, we need monuments (payed for by taxpayers) to remind us.

he should sit out one, so that Real has to pay him for another year. He can start the day with a cup of coffee, take a dump and put Marca to good use, while saving a year worth of toilet paper.

Well Bayern fans booed Arjen Robben once (or twice). Vastly different circumstances, but they did. And there are one or two players who could have used a little booing to “motivate” them.

with 2 people assisting him on the “hacked”-excuse, he goes for the “no disrespect” douche phrase. Thats a bad read, even for him.

oh its 6 seasons, I’m sorry. point still stands.

well he played at Real for 9 season now and they managed to win the CL once (while not contributing much in the semi and final). Real is the #1 club in the world and they paired him with the best talent they got, everyone of those 9 years. Am I the only one who thinks that 1 CL title is not enough to put him above and…

would be quite a step from a pleb-club like Dortmund. The one thing with Klopp: he has yet to prove that he is more than a one trick pony manager. His 2 teams played one style and one style only. A high motor pressing style with focus on the counter attack. He ran into troubles when the rest of the league got a read…

David Moyes anyone?

1. I dont understand all the Sansa love, she is the most unlikeable character in the show that is not made out to be unlikeable. She was a stereotype princess who got what was coming for her in the Martin universe. Her passive ways havent changed yet, unless one views a hair coloring as an emancipartory victory.…

Pierce with the ultimate trash talking blue balls by now.

Its professional sports and you can never say ‘never’, but Pep to Real is as close as you will get to never. He is a proud Catalan (even went on a demonstration for catalan independence as a keynote speaker here in Germany) and he might as well run around with a Franco shirt before going to Real.
