WAY too expensive. It's not like shipping UPS in the states. A single shirt migth run you $45 in shipping. The best way is to find someone who can ship APO and pay them for doing it for you.

Late as always but just wanted to say congrats on signing Kenny Cooper of FC Dallas. this has the potential of being a great signing and I hope it is for 1860!

Best of luck this season.

Got to tell you, am STILL in shock but glad it happened. Get to see KC tonight at the FCD game but he won't be playing. I hope to have him sign my last year's 1860 kit. Will be the first to have him sign as a 1860 player.:D

(p.s. LB, I forget how much this thread is your 'baby'... nice work!)
Naw man, ain't my thread.....I just post too much hier. :D

At the half it is 0-1 for Sechzge!!!!

The new central defender Fehli scored on a nice header flicked on by Lauth for the lead. Paderborn has not givne up and seems to be getting their chances too. Seems Kiraly has earned his pay a few times. Game is in the 63rd now.

Daumen gedruckt!!!!

Endstand 0-1 for Sechzig!!!! Although I saw Lauth taken off in the 78th limping. I hope it is simply a knock and not something serious.:(

Good for the team as they get 100k for making the next round, 220k if they win that match (in 3 weeks time). No word yet on their next opponent in the cup.

Ok, I admit it. I say in full view of my fellow Weiss/Blau Brethren:
I, LoewenBoy, was wrong for a period of 72 hours about Miki Stevic. Herr Stevic (notice, he was not called that "that back-stabbing bastard") committed an act of shear sanity -- nay, BRILLIANCE -- in signing Kenny Cooper from FC Dallas on July 31st.
Why was I wrong? Well, for once in recent memory 1860 used their heads and scouted a player who totally meets their needs AND has the abilities they cherish in a player AND both things were present in a player who was not 400 years old OR injured beyond repair. Kenny Cooper is that player.

The Lions have been searching for a striker with speed, strong in the air, good challenger, aggressive, a good dribbler and energetic for years. A few years back they got Benny Lauth back who fit that bill just fine. Problem? He had no one to play with up front. Let's face it: Benny carried the club last year. Sure, other's tried to help out. Manuel Schaeffler is a great kid and could be a great striker one day but has a knack of missing "sitters". Di Salvo had a decent streak two years back but it was just that, a streak. Roesler, bless his heart, is more past his prime than a carton of 1979 skim milk and is only useful as a 20 minute sub. Mlapa has potential but no experience. Pourie was a cry baby who got sent packing; good riddance. Lushtaku? Gesundheit, but who? Sure he may be something but know one knows what. Enter Kenny Cooper.

Kenny is a taller version of Benny Lauth. He has the potential to really help out the Lions. How? Both "Benny and Kenny" - as the German press has named them; sounding more like a gay couple from Baden-Baden than a potentially feared footballing strike-force -- have the potential to dismantle defenses. They play very similarly in that they run AT defenses. If they concentrate too much on one, ZIPPP, there goes the other. Both have a nose for the ball. Both are fast. Both are good off the ball. Both can shoot. Both can be strong in the air. Excuse me.....I had to wipe the drool from my chin just thinking about the goals they will score. There! That's better.

HOWEVER....and you KNEW this was coming....fans, coaches and in particular the 1860 Board needs to lay off of Kenny. Don't scare the lad with the fact both fans from MLS and from 1860 expect him to score 14+ goals his first season. Don't tell the kid about the "Promotion 2010" demand from the Board. And ABOVE ALL don't show him the financials. Let the lad find his place. Let him play his game. Work on the things he needs to clean up. Give him time to gel and find his place. He WILL succeed. But not if people place unreasonable demands on the guy. He's a professional. He's not stupid. He KNOWS he was brought on to score goals. But whether he scores 3 or 8 or 20, let the kid live and learn.

I LOVE south Park. I am sure I am not the first to use this tag line above with regards to KC. But I will tell you right now, the QUICKEST way to make Kyle and Stan utter their famous line is to place too high a set of expectations on Kenny Cooper. That WILL "Kill Kenny". And then, if that happens, Herr Stevic WILL go back to being a "bastard". But for now: Well done Herr Stevic. Enjoy the holiday. My Photoshop license has been renewed.:cool:

They were lucky, but a W is a W.......

From what I saw that could be said about many of those close games.

Now THIS (http://www.merkur-online.de/sport/tsv-1860/michael-hofmann-loewen-paderborn-mm-427155.html?cmp=defrss) is a REAL TRUE PLAYER!!!!

Who would drive 555km to a game that they are NOT playing in? Michael Hofmann that's who. The guy drove on his own accord up to Paderborn to watch and support 1860.

I tell you, if 1860 do not offer him a position with the club after he retires next season I will personally come to Muenchen and beat the crap out of Miki Stevic.:mad:

And I will pick you up at the airport, personally escort you to the club HQ and help you do the job.

I like that Bernhard Winkler went with him. F#cking cool.

Highlights

[LoewenBoy]

Kenny's first training (http://www.abendzeitung.de/sport/tsv_1860/122973) will be Tuesday at Gruenwalderstrasse [Google translation here (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abendzeitung.de%2Fsport%2Ftsv_1860%2F122973&sl=de&tl=en&history_state0=)].

MÜNCHEN - Once again this past Saturday with the 1:0 close-call win in Paderborn: The large number of wasted scoring chances - It is no coincidence that defender Radi Fehli struck the "golden goal". That is why the Loewen are looking forward to the arrival of Kenny Cooper, the 25 year-old US import from Dallas. "On Monday he lands in Muenchen"; revealed Miki Stevic to the Abendzeitung on Sunday, "then he will under go a medical check and a three year contract will be signed." The MLS released Cooper for a transfer fee of circa 500,000 Euros;; a national team player with 90 MLS games and 40 goals to his tally. His first training will be on Tuesday at 10:00 at the Gruenwalderstrasse, and his debut on the other side of Benny Lauth should be the following Sunday at the season opener against Koblenz.

Now, that was a good game yesterday, not always the prettiest but exciting throughout. After having taken my seat before the game, I realized it was my first ever live cup game, and the feel in the air was a little different than a regular league game.
LB, your boy Holebas is the real deal: athletic, fast and positions himself well. He also clearly is always leaning forward and is ready to get into the offense. Not sure if that is Lienen's game, but I didn't really notice it with the right back. In the first half he played right in front of me, so I got a good view of his game. This picture says much of what the first 45 were all about:

It was a good battle for 20-25 minutes, but Guie-Mien was toast after that. And in the second half he switched sides away from Holebas. The only issue I could see with Holebas is him getting burned over the top, which is what almost happened on Löning's chance in front of the goal in the first half. But I guess that is the danger with an offensive wing back.
Otherwise, McLovin was solid:

And Kiraly made two outstanding saves down the stretch to save the game. On the last play, I had no idea how close the ball was to going in, but have just now seen the highlights posted above.
Sitting behind me was this group of Löwen who got drunker and drunker throughout the game, but in a nice way. They were, however, locals, which I could tell by the local accent.
