  1. As soon as Politano comes on as the final substitute he gets spiked in the ankle and can barely move the rest of the match. Sure, unfortunate. But a healthy Politano alone wouldn't have won them the match. Just... no.
  2. More lucky they didn't concede 3 more. Hakimi is a monster. Sad Real will want him back.
  3. Seahawks D has been shambolic today.
  4. Bayern manager Kovac just got sacked. Assistant coach and former Löw assistant Hansi Flick will take over as an interim. Jose Mourinho and Erik ten Hag are top of the list candidates for a permanent replacement according to German media.
  5. Davies played full 90 minutes again. Boateng saw a red card after 10 minutes and Bayern received their worst defeat in the Bundesliga since 2009. Even though they were one man down for 80 minutes they had a terrible game. Davies got an assist for Lewandowski's goal, though.
  6. Davies just scored an own goal in the Cup match against VfL Bochum (2. Bundesliga).
  7. I don't think so. It's probably just the lack of alternatives at left back. Bayern's roster is very thin this season in some positions. Alaba is their only out and out left back. If he can't play they really only have Lucas Hernandez who can play there. But Hernandez is also planned as a backup at centre back. Süle is out long term with an ACL so Hernandez will have to play there when he himself recovers from an MCL. So Davies is going to get some games at left back. Coman and Perisic are pretty decent and Gnabry is probably their best player bar Lewandowski this season. So there have been less opportunities for Davies at the offensive winger positions so far. However, Coman and Gnabry are pretty injury prone as well. I reckon Davies will get a chance there if the situation arises.
  8. Saw them live yesterday. Fantastic show. They have fun on stage and you can see the passion with which they're playing. Singing is ON. POINT.
  9. Alphonso Davies played his first game start-to-finish yesterday against Union Berlin. He played left back and was involved in the second goal. Can't tell you much else though. I have only seen the highlight reel. There was a more important game on at the same time.
  10. There are a lot of Draisaitl fans for sure. The media reports about the most successful German player. Pretty normal thing, I guess. Same thing happened when Nowitzki entered the NBA. But I wouldn't say a majority of German hockey fans are Oilers fans. Hockey in Germany has a lot of fans who have been there since the 80s or longer (and nowadays their children who mostly inherited their fandom). So from what I can see if they even support an NHL team, there is a lot of variety. If I had to take a guess, it would be probably one of the Original Six. Not to say that can't change. If Draisaitl keeps it up and stays with the Oilers until he retires, than the Oilers will probably have a lot more fans in Germany.
  11. Hooray to all the Euros around! Yes, even the Brits although they won't have us! Also: Go Canucks Go!
  12. Yes. That was a cumulation of Bayern scoring on just about every shot in the second half and the Spurs just giving up. If Liverpool don't win the championship this year, then they probably never will. 8 points ahead already.
  13. First game. First game management. Refs starting out great. I wanna punch a hole in Mike Smith.
  14. Why? Cause the Cowboys managed to score the least points against the Dolphins so far?
  15. Plus some weird decisions when it comes to awarding bookings (Delaney, Artur, Lenglet). Still, we should have scored at least 3 today. Ridiculously bad finishing plus a brilliant ter Stegen.
  16. Wilson with two great games to start the season. Week 1: 14/20, 195 Yds, 2 TD, 0 Int, 134.4 Rating Week 2: 29/35, 300 Yds, 3 TD, 0 Int, 131.0 Rating Also credit where it's due, Schottenheimer made the right adjustments in the second half. First time Hawks start 2-0 since 2013.
  17. Their head coach Daniel Farke is from my home town. Rumours are already saying he is on of the top candidates to be the next Dortmund coach. Love his style of play. Norwich are really fun to watch.
  18. I was able to get tickets for the Barca game (Dortmund last played them in the 90s I think) on Tuesday and now Messi will probably miss that game. Seems I will have to make that weekend trip to Barcelona some time soon.
  19. Had those discussions time and time again. Watch the video. He's shorter than most of his teammates and opponents. If he was white, nobody would bat an eye.
  20. So, 14 year old Youssoufa Moukoko just made his debut in our under-19s squad, playing against players 4-5 years older than him. He scored 6 goals in a 9-2 win (albeit against a newly promoted side). Last year he played for our under-17s scoring 50 goals in 28 games. I hope he can translate that into the seniors in a couple of years. He could end up being the best player ever to come out of our youth system. Here's a little clip from last season:
  21. First official new Tool song in 13 years
  22. Our neighboring rival's fans are furious about this: https://www.dw.com/en/schalke-chief-tönnies-to-temporarily-step-down-amid-racism-row/a-49923094
  23. Don't watch enough hockey outside the NHL to really have an opinion. But for selfish reasons I want Seider.
