I believe it's been mentioned here before but has anyone been to the DFB Museum in Dortmund? Thinking about making the drive over there this next week.

I didn't have time to go in but it looked to be pretty cool, and it's literally 2 minutes outside of the Hbf

Update: Don't plan on going on Monday because they're closed on Mondays. Glad Google Maps told me about this right when I was about to leave or it would have been 2 hours lost

Excellent read. Damn he has a huge head.

I like the strategy they've set up but the English have clearly got it right over here. I don't know what they want to do long term but first you go to other continents, sell your brand and license and only then do you setup a foothold based on the markets that indicate the best chance of success and sustainable growth. If this was technology I'd say he's over engineering. But I guess in this case he's over marketing. We would have closer to the 55M had he started doing what the English did and only then squeeze the opportunity by becoming a part of it later.

Oh well.
