[QUOTE="mhnessie, post: 480289, member: 4324"] Another interesting article about german football/soccer: [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/26/sports/soccer/as-europe-struggles-germany-invests-heavily-in-soccer.html?_r=1&[/url] But all the efforts are worth nothing if we dont win the World Cup or at least the Champions League. Btw - I like this metaphor: "...G[I]erman teams have improved with a rising share of domestic players. At the same time, they have overcome stereotypes of ugly but effective play and today are more [B]likely to be compared by opponents to finely tuned Porsches than grinding Panzer tanks." :D [/B][/I] But this comparison is ridiculous[I][B] :rolleyes:[/B][/I] [I][B][/B][/I] [I]“...It’s no longer this wooden, boring soccer,” said Horst Heldt, the general manager [B]at Schalke, a blue-collar squad with a national following similar to that of the N.F.L.’s Pittsburgh Steelers..." [/B][/I] Anyway, I "hate" them both :mad:;) [I][/I] [I][B] [/B][/I] [I][B][/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
