hes like a german hero. He came back home to play soccer and im sure there was a different side of the story. You could see why hes pissed.
Bayer was in the middle of a CL clincher trying to get the auto qualifier as finishing the top 2. He wasn't exactly helping the situation with his mediocre play. Trust me, this guy is an arrogant asshole. Plus his fight with Phillip Lahm in the middle of WC 2010 about whose team it is. Ridiculous. You pull rank when you are not part of the squad and that could kill a locker room. Fortunately, the German players knew better.
