They gave the newest signing, Josip Brekalo, a shot. New pussy made way for newer pussy. Grade from the Stuttgarter Nachrichten Sports Editors:
It's March, so I can read Washington Post articles again. Here's a profile up today on Julian: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...488374608665&tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.d0a115d64a72 It doesn’t really matter to me where I’m playing,” Green said of his role before admitting: “Maybe on the left wing it’s easier for me because I’m right-footed. So I can cut inside and shoot on goal. But I can also play on the right wing with no problem.” “He was at the game against Heidenheimer [Feb. 17] and then we had a talk on the phone,” Green confirmed when asked if Arena had reached out to him. “We had a good talk and I hope I can be in the squad.” Green added: “He said he’s looking out for me and is always watching what I’m doing here in Stuttgart. And that was it. So we’ll see what happens.”
Starts in a test match against Worms: Aufstellung: 32 Uphoff - 4 Onguene, 8 Grgic, 15 Mané, 16 Klein, 20 Gentner, 22 Ofori, 24 Brekalo, 33 Ginczek, 35 Kaminski, 37 Green. #VfBVfR— VfB Stuttgart (@VfB) March 2, 2017
It's annoying enough when they do this with Karlsruhe(r) or Hamburg(er)... but come on, that's over the top. What's next? Bayerner? Hannoverer? To be fair, Heidenheim was called Heidenheimer SB until 10 years ago. But I doubt that was the reason here.
Mamelodi Sundowns has a happy feeling to it. And while Green and other members of the club were doing charity work, one of the players supposed to be there, Kevin Grosskreutz, was recovering from a beating suffered at a bar. The worst of it: the grown man had taken a bunch of U17 kids into his night excursion, getting them in trouble. So, he's about to be punished --beyond the beating he already suffered. He was supposed to be a role model: http://www.tagblatt.de/Nachrichten/Geldstrafe-oder-Rauswurf-322945.html
I'd love to think that some sly Swiss sports enthusiasts with extravagent pre-hipster facial hair sat around a cafe, facing the impending arrival of the 20th century and thought... "you know what we'll do, we'll call our team Young Boys of Bern and THEN we'll base our team in Wankdorf, so THEN in 3o years or so, when we build a stadium we can call it Wankdorf Stadim and in England they'll have to say "We're playing Young Boys at the Wankdorf!" and they will spit their tea through their nose. I wish there was just one person in the history of Switzerland with that combo of prescience and humor,. I wish there was just one person in the world with that combo. That would be awesome.
