Euro 2016

OMG the paddys equalised.

Typical Scotland snatching a draw from the jaws of a W. I should be used to it by now. He's very inconsistent nessie.

A draw in Poland isnt that bad, we lost
Three games played, only four points for us, hmm....not the best start into the Euro qualifiers. But we will play in France anyway. I'd bet on it

If im honest i thought before the game Poland would win easy anyway 3-0, so i guess i should be pleased but after pulling it back to 2-1 you get greedy. Germany will somehow turn it round nessie.

Maybe Germany misses Klose, Lahm and Schweini more than we realize. Klose is up in years, but the world cup proved he still has it.

Losing quality players and having a bit of a World Cup hangover is understandable.

PF71 - Good win for Scotland over the other Whisky makers.

Hahaha, watching TV at the moment and just learned that our former international, Lothar "Loddar" Mathäus, got married for the fifth (!) time today. His bride is 25 years old. Can you believe it
"Respekt" Loddar, you are getting older but your brides are getting younger each and every time.

Fifth marriage? omg

Fifth marriage? omg

Yeah, and he is 53 now. Not bad, isnt it ?
But thats one of the main reasons he doesnt get a job in German football.

As as player i admired him he was awesome at one point, but things went south after that in many ways.

Is Loddar slang for something? Or just a pun?

Loddar = I was good from 86-90 after that he added another middle name.......Shiedt.

Well past his best ill always remember him for squaring up to young Barry Ferguson, who frustrated the life out of him. he then tried to gouge Fergusons eye. Nothing against Bayern, just my opinion of the players actions.

Lothar is from Franconia, a region in Bavaria as you might know.
They always pronounce a "t" like a "dd" , thats why we call him "Loddar"
People from Franconia are also known for their rolling "r"

I know Franconia quite well... just not the local dialect.

I know the beer even better.

Throwing the toys out with the bathwater or an act of rebellion make your own minds up, (i would have been equally glad if England and Russia had not won the right to be hosts.) As for Qatar............for what its worth im all for a boycott of these competitions its not going happen though lets be honest, even in the highly unlikley event of my country reaching them. FIFA are rotten to the core.

Simply wont happen because its a business.
Did you hear or read about the Fifa corruption report, its a joke. As long as Sepp Blatter lives and is in charge there wont be any reforms.

Yeah i did, they whitewashed the Qatar bid clean of all the corruption charges. Typical FIFA corrupt as ill get out, im not sure getting rid of Blatter will mean anything at all, there will no doubt be a replacement who's equally as bad as he is whoever that would be.

I support the boycott too. I saw a German official as being quoted as wanting UEFA to remove itself from FIFA. At least it's being talked about and the words "Boycott" are being used. It's a start.

The FBI is also getting involved. That's a good thing.

It would behoove me to think that the Sponsors should start pulling out NOW!

Reinhard Rauball said this, he is the DFL (Bundesliga) boss. Yes, it's a start but as I wrote before, you have to get rid of Blatter first (dead or alive) before there will be any reforms and changes.
And sometimes I even dont want to know what our Kaiser Franz (Beckenbauer) or any other German DFB football official has to do with this swamp of corruption.
Anybody here who believes that we got our 2006 tournament without any corruption ? I dont think so

I hold Beckenbauer in the highest regard but nothing would shock me hes only human, FIFA has a way of corrupting anyone and anything. The only way countries win host bids is by bad influence (money) thats the way it is sadly.

It's not over.

Gordon Strachan says they aren't afraid of Lewandowski because they handled him the last time they played. Strachan is partially right. It can be argued that Lewy is so good at Bayern because of the surrounding cast. When the other side has to watch out for Costa, Koman, Mueller, and Goetze, it's hard to concentrate on just shutting down the striker. You could say that Bayern is better than the polish national team.
