Everybody loves Gareth

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

That’s back when it was the old Neckarstadion. It’s changed a bit since then - the running track has gone, for one thing.

RIP Stuttgart

Who will be the actor playing Gareth?

Benedict Cumberpatch gets my vote.

Adrien Brody?

Adrien Brody?

It's the nose isnt it..

Perhaps. He coukd be a Southgate either way...

 

[Eddie Yates]

I can neither confirm nor deny any involvement of „Der Kaiser“.

I can however tell you that Euro2024 will be brilliantly organised and will feature modern, comfortable stadia with excellent transport links, friendly home fans (unless Germany are playing the Dutch) and cheap and plentiful food and Bier.

Stuttgart is a host-City, and preparations have started already with work at the Mercedes-Benz Arena and the surrounding area due to start next year.

I'm sure it would be a well organised and enjoyable tournament, Germany have history of hosting excellent sporting events although the 1972 Munich Olympics wouldn't really go down as a roaring success.

 

[Eddie Yates]

You'll be wrong then, because we're going to win it.

Gareth's epic Euro semi final shoot out win redemption will be turned into a movie.

I hope so

One historical titbit:

The Events of the München Olympiad and the perceived failure of the Police to deal with the terrorist threat led to the immediate formation in September that year of the elite GSG-9 unit within the Bundespolizei, which is now recognised as one of the worlds‘ best anti-terrorist groups.

Only Germany and Turkey actually bid for Euro 2024 though

Which was a bit pointless, as all the best bits of Turkey are already in Germany....

That’s because nobody bothered to bid once they knew bent Beckanbauer would rig it for the Germans again

It wasn’t a perceived failure it was a complete & utter f*** up

 

[Strummer]

Yes, yes it was.

But what happened actually has now led to a significantly better response to terrorism offences in Germany.

Based on the British SAS and trained by Israeli special forces, you should’ve asked the big boys for some advice in 72 rather than trying to police a major sporting event yourselves

 

[Eddie Yates]

To be fair you’d expect tournaments in Germany to be well organised with the amount of practice they’ve had

A little bit late then. Like the Brandenburg airport?

 

[Eddie Yates]

Yesterday Germany Laboured to a win v the mighty Belarus & today the German U21s we’re hammered at home by Belgium, coupled with Bundesliga teams falling further away in the CL it’s not a great time for German football

Southgate is too soft, he can't control the players and they are taking the piss out of him

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

Here you are again, hanging out in the Super Gaz thread two hours before kick-off. It's fanatical.

I do think Saarfgate is a bit of a doormat, he just doesn't come across with any nasty streak.

Same as a player. Too nice.

 

[valspoodle]

He dresses very well though. I expect he has a nice tie and snazzy waistcoat on again tonight.

He’s a f***ing tool Ray

Terrible record as a league manager and did nothing to deserve the England job other than being English & squeaky clean after that bent wrong un Allerdyce got the boot

He got a bye to the WC semi final and bottled it with negative tactics

 

[Eddie Yates]

Watching England is like watching Forest with all those defensive midfielders crammed in to the team

Boring f***ing snoring

Why tf has it taken so long to get Grealish on?

The match is streaming in Germany on DAZN, so I’ve been watching it.

It’s not a brilliant performance, is it?
