qualified for the Europa League after a horible Bundesliga season last year. They will be back next year, new coach is doing well.

on the positive side: Arsenal are not getting bounced by Bayern in the first knockout round. They will play a group winner and will get bounced by them.

It’s not debatable by anyone on the planet that watches football.

because on a weekly basis you arent going to be battling the same as you will in England

there even was a Lewa to Arsenal rumor, which was just over the moon funny. That guy won the “what can we get away with”-publishing contest pool.

I remember a video of a Packers player tackling (power bomb) a guy who ran on the field and they’re multiple other football examples, who are rather violent. And US courts are way more lucrative when it comes to these type of lawsuits. If a german soccer player did something disproportionate, you wouldnt be getting…

as a lifelong Bayern fan who watched every Shaqiri game: he wasnt that great when he played. He played enough for him not complain about playing time (which he did anyway), but most times he was mediocre. The argument wasnt that much about “is he good enough to steal playing time from Ribery?”, but about “is he good…

it was Leverkusen and that was one example where it all went really smooth for a player.

for every answer someone will give you, there are a lot examples of how that isnt true. You can make it through the ranks of a top club (Müller, Alaba, Schweinsteiger), you can make it by being loaned to a smaller club (Kroos, Lahm). You can make it by starting at a small club, failing at a big club and than succeding…

as a foreigner (where the police would press charges no matter what Smith would think about it), let me ask: does he really have to press charges for the police to get involved? That doesnt seem to be a smart rule for all kind of offenses.

a hold-me-back fight is a fight one might start because he knows that the people around will step in immediately... like all sport fights, nobody will let them fight it to the end. In a situation were people wouldnt step in, Messi wouldnt start a fight. you can figure out the rest from there.

classic hold-me-back fight. Fair to assume that Messi wouldnt start a fight with a guy that is clearly physically superior? (except for the USA, where Napoleons gun down people they couldnt fight all the time)

if that “bullying Bayern into first team minutes” is true... thats really stupid

Maybe he just fears another debacle like Hamburg if he gets loaned again. The Hamburger SV are the Sacramento Kings of the Bundesliga and the time Green got there was their “George Karl tries to trade Boogie”-moment. Coach who wanted him on loan got fired, next coach didnt want him, didnt even talk to him. There were…

I’ll always oppose this reasoning. When its collective bargaining time its one side that could take several seasons of work stoppage and still be rich fuckers and there are the players who cant reasonably lose a single season cause their career is too short. thats not normal CB, every court in every civilized country…

Green at Bayern isnt a real success story. He’s a Bayern amateur, was lend to Hamburger SV, didnt even make the first team there, on a team facing relegation. He’s back at Bayern at the moment with very little hope of making the 1st squad, let alone getting any minutes. On Bayerns China trip, where EVERYBODY played,…

talking about overpayed englishmen and neither the article nor the comments mention the lifelong posterchild: Wayne Rooney. he is worth half of his pay in actual playing ability and the rest is for being a mascot. He is the personified dream of the common englishmen of being a football star as he is the personified…

nobody can tell who started what. The point is that that the Clippers have every reason to (lie) about contacting Jordan and if he is coming back he will always state that it was him who started things because he has nothing to lose, he’s a baby either way. The Clippers on the other hand...
