  1. Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

    Two CL semi finalists. Not bad for a farmers league.
  2. Florian Wirtz | Leverkusen player

    I don't know for how long Pep plans to stay at City, but if he stays there is no better player for him. If Pep could bake himself the perfect midfielder it would be Wirtz. And I would hate it...
  3. Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player

    I was happy when Bayern signed him since we desperately needed a quality central striker, and they are rare. Nevertheless I saw him mainly in the English team or the abysmal performances of Spurs vs Bayern, hence I thought of him rather as a playmaking striker, kind of false nine. What I...
  4. German Football 23/24 |

    Has anyone else watched the Bayern documentary series on Amazon already? It's called "Behind the Legend", which is very misleading title, because it is much more about failure, before it is about winning. It spans the years from 2008 to 2013 in Bayern’s history with a lot never seen before...
  5. Post match vs Bayern Munich

    I really don't want to wind up United fans, so this is more of a question for the Bayern experts: That was the first full Bayern game I've seen this season - and this was horrible! Mistake after mistake, defensively shaky, offensively static or erroneous when playing fast. And, can anybody...
  6. Julian Nagelsmann | Sacked and replaced by Tuchel

    Crazy decision. I would have rather fired half the team than Nagelsmann if there was a problem. Although, I didn't even see a problem: I was hoping that Bayern wouldn't win the Bundesliga this year and instead focus on the CL. That would have increased the reputation of the League and of Bayern...
  7. Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)

    I never understood how you managed that feat so many times, but it's impressive indeed.
  8. Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)

    That's how Real has been winning all their CL's...
  9. Is Gareth Southgate a shiite England manager?

    I haven’t watched any England matches between the tournaments but from what I have seen this time I wouldn’t know how to criticise Southgate. IMO his match plan yesterday worked out flawlessly. I never thought England could control France so well and at the same create a lot of chances. The...
  10. Let's all laugh at England

    No reason to laugh at England. You've been by far the better side and I still wondering how you've lost this match. Wish you better luck next time.
  11. Let's all laugh at England

    As an rather old dude in his late 40's, and without having experienced it personally but having heard about it too many times from my dad, I've told my English friends since the late 80's that Karma has cursed the English national team for at least 50 years to make up for the illegal 'Wembley...
  12. Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)

    I usually don't bet. But after having seen all matches so far, the picture seems to be pretty clear to me: From Argentina, Croatia, England/France and Portugal/Morocco, without intentionally teasing my English friends, I see only one clear favorite to win the World Cup, and one underdog with...
  13. Christian Pulisic

    Do you really need Pulisic? I mean you have Sancho already and I cannot see how he is an upgrade. I have seen them both for years at Dortmund, and IMO Sancho was by far superior. Interestingly both players have been trending downwards already at Dortmund before they were sold. Pretty well...
  14. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    Dear all, I'm writing only because a dream of mine might come true: Ralf Rangnick, for the first time ever, might get a team of top talented players, where he can implement his style of football. I love the game of football more than a single club. When Barca whipped the floor with my Bayern...
