I've genuinely never seen a back 6 before. Fair play to Atletico.
So are Spurs playing the whole population of Wolfsberg or just the football club.
I didn't even think of the Wolfsberg/Wolfsburg angle. There are not pronounced the same by the way to confuse you even more.
This could get nasty.
It honestly looked like Pagh initially thought Tottenham were playing the German club Wolfsburg. And because Fletcher isn't German, he is just calling the club by its full name. No need to be so defensive.
Borussia means Prussia in Latin.
The last page has been incredible. Had to scroll to the top of the page to make sure I'm in the right thread.
I mean, if the club is called Londoner/Mancunian, why not
Have Wolves ever played Wolfsberg?
Of Munich currently leading by 3 goals. The tie seems over after just 45 mins. Lazio need to get their shit together or they will lose by the same margins as Roma did a couple of years ago.
How are non-native German speakers supposed to know that? (In reference to laughing at Darren Fletcher calling them Wolfsberger).
the whole German speaking population after the last half hour.
What about a tournament with the German lot as well.
Just saw the Lazio non-penalty decision. Fecking disgraceful decision.
20 years ago, Wolfsburg was coached by Wolfgang Wolf.
Woflsberger is not a noun, it's not even a word in its own right. It literally means "from / related to the town of Wolfsberg" and is only used when describing a noun, like "Athletiksport Club" in the club's name, as being related to the town of Wolfsberg.
(Ok you can also use it as a noun, but then you're talking about a person from Wolfsberg. Glad to clear that up.
)Seriously?
You might be interested in hearing that one of Wolfsburg's (German club) previous coaches is the German coach Wolfgang Wolf.
Atletico are defending in a 6-3-1 low block
Still though, I’m sure Simeone will be the happier of the two managers. His team talk will most likely be “more of the same guys”.

It is true, indeed.
Can’t believe you silly sausage’s didn’t know the difference between Wolfsberger and Wolfsberg, oh how I laugh..
Yeah, I did actually know that, best manager/club combo ever!
Until Chelsea Chels becomes manager of Chelsea anyway.
I was taking the piss mate I know that one!
Give over. Careful now with the bullshit stories. You don't want to be the boy who cried wolf.
Some real hypocrisy from a few of the English posters on here. Not long ago they were moaning about people calling Sheffield U just "Sheffield". But when it comes to foreign clubs they use whatever name that suit them. Pure arrogance!
Pretty sure everyone on the thread knew that part.
Well, he wouldn't refer to the team from Hamburg as Hamburger, would he? But I guess that's just because the city of Hamburg is much more well known.
Like the only part everyone agreed on
That's the only bit we did know.
Why are there so many people, adamantly arguing with native speakers about the usage of their language.
Btw. You would be correct, if you meant that they are playing vs people from Wofsberg. These are called Wolfsberger as well.
"Sheffield U"? So much disrespect.
If I called you lot "Manchester U" I would be banned for life!

That may be how Austrians do it but when speaking in English we don't need to say the full thing for it to make sense to us. Now if Darren Fletcher was speaking German I would understand that he is saying it wrong but we don't use German noun rules in the English language.
yes he is gifted. Was part of our academy one time
Sure you did..
That's gonna make a great movie.
I'd cast Harvey Keitel for the role.
Wait 'till Klopp explains this to Mourinho
You would if you'd only seen the name of the club written down... Hamburger SV
