Meet England's new jersey - modeled by delightfully fresh-faced (he could almost play for us!) Priory School midfielder Jason Kelly!


England-kit-008

Even my football-averse mother (currently in my house, subjected to my endless football chatter on this beautiful Stat Holiday - Happy Victoria Day Canadians!) when I showed her this from THE GUARDIAN said "that looks like the '70s..." (Mum, for the record, watched the final with her boyfriend in '74 one day before they split up. It is associated with trauma and delight in equal measure. Until 10 minutes ago I did not know this story...Anyway - here's good old Gerd (also from Mum's old local team Bayern Munich) -

I suspect Germany will continue to play the game the English invented better than they do ;) But I admire their taste in trying to emulate some German fashun!

And I'm tagging this thing with Beckenbauer because he's in that scene - just not in the picture ;)

Hi folks. Long time no see!
So what's been going on during the downtime?
First all-German Champion's League final
The other players who aren't going to said final (or injured, or in an Italian final, or told Jogi "no thx") are coming to America in less than a month

And this happened:

Miro broke another record.
Again.
And is the THIRD player in Serie A to ever score five times in one match
(Rooney and Torres are taking notes)

Also Toni's gonna be a daddy:
And Khedira and Lena may be engaged. Maybe.
Ledira? Khena?

What could be more perfect than Mats Hummels in a shampoo ad?



Which of you ladies (& lads) broke down laughing after seing this on TV recently? Cause I did yesterday.

Anyone watching the game tonight?

Line-up: Neuer- Lahm -Boateng- Mertesacker- Schmelzer - Khedira - Gundogan -Reus -Götze - Özil - Müller
 
 
In 2006, filmmaker Aljoscha Pause, who made an award-winning film on Zizou and has made many others on issues like homosexuality in the sport, attended the Junior championships in Germany. He wanted to film one of the youngsters for posterity but couldn't decide which, so he asked Jogi Löw and Uli Stielike (who were attending as observers) which of the boys looked like he might manage to become a professional. They didn't know his name, but they pointed out Schalke's number 11...

...The Junior German Championships, January 2006...

German National Team coach Jurgen Klinsmann's assistant, Joachim Löw appears on screen. The filmmaker asks if any of these youngsters could appear in South Africa in 2010?

Way, way trendy (in 2008) false-nine formation before it went mainstream (smh) in 2009...

Germany XI vs. Kazakhstan: Neuer - Schmelzer, Höwedes, Mertesacker, Lahm - Schweinsteiger, Khedira - Draxler, Özil, Müller, Götze

Jogi - you better not have messed this up!

Spam away! Auf geht  s Deutschland!
