The first one I remember was Eric Wynalda. I have very fond memories of him as he began to play in the Bundesliga, when I started following it.
Truth to be told: if a current member of the German national team or even a current player in the Bundesliga had shown support for the AFD, the...
I agree with you - any racism directed at Özil needs to be condemned. And he is a great footballer - and Hoeness is an ******. And he is German -...
Well, I am a white German and I have a lot of sympathy for Özil. But if I had publicly shown support for an antisemitic and racist autocrat who...
The guy who said that is Hungarian and grew up behind the Iron curtain. Most German coaches like the American players`mentality - it is always...
Generally speaking, there weren`t as many German fans going to Russia, because of the bad press Russia received in recent years. IMO you go to...
I was in Istanbul at that time. I worked and lived there for 2 years. When the results came out, I stood on my balcony and all the neighbours made...
Maybe Grindel. But I'm not so sure. Hoeness? Never. The guy spent 3 years in prison for tax fraud - and he said far more outrageous/racist stuff...
That would be the least of my concerns. There is a new small party called ADD which is basically the German version of Erdogan`s AKP party. It was...
Yes, there would have been calls for the player`s resignation. But the roles would have been reversed: left-wing media would have called for his...
Özil needs to be protected from racial abuse and the DFB should be held accountable for their inexcusable mismanagement of that case. However, it...
Erdogan is slowly transforming Turkey into a dictatorship. Many German-Turks follow Turkish media and go to Turkish mosques. Erdogan is basically...
No, you are absolutely right. Uli Hoeness is absolutely narcisstic and similar to Donald Trump. The thing is: he is regarded is the main architect...
True, but Hoeness would do anything to protect Bayern. And you could argue that making Özil a scapegoat serves Bayern`s interests, because it...
Well, there were also some allegations in terms of age cheating directed at certain African youth teams. And that might also explain why their...
Correct. If he had become head coach at Leipzig, it would have been suicidal, because 1) he doesn`t speak German - I can only think of 5 coaches...
When Schweinsteiger and Podolski were called up for the German national team for the first time, they had shown next to nothing at club level...
Yes, but the same applies to other players. And I sometimes had the impression that every time Jones and Bradley had a bad/mediocre game, Jones...
I am German - and I`ve been following the USMNT as my 2nd team since 1990. I must admit that I didn`t see all of the games played during...
If the case come in front of a German court - the rule which prevents owners from taking over controll of a club will likely be eliminated. Most...
"Bayern regard Schalke as their role-model - at least as far as youth development is concerned. Bayern chairman Rummenigge was particularly...
Bayern President Uli Hoeness after the match on German TV: "Schalke was clearly the better team and had in Haji Wright the outstanding player on...
Well, here we go. I`m German myself, but I have started to do some research on my family`s past a year ago. In fact I now have a family tree going...
Certainly true. Speasking as a German, the German media was 100% behind Hillary - and even refused to acknowledge that many American voters had...
They might have a high standing within the context of English football. But for someone who grew up in a country like Germany and knows little...
