Brazil 1982

and then there was the French midfield in 1982 with Platini, Girese, Tigana... Germany also had a good team (Breitner, Magath, Littbarski, Matthäus, Müller - Schuster had resigned), of course Italy. Still today IMHO the best midfield ever (individually and as a team) is the present Barca squad: Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, plus if you consider them midfielders, Messi+Sanchez...

A memory to Socrates and Co.

Frohe Ostern

It's too early to wish you happy easter, but this one can't wait...

Frohe Ostern

BTW, Andi Brehme (world cup champion 1990) used to play for Uli Hoeneß'es (BTW world cup champion 1974) team with greatest success.

Uli Hoeneß (Opel): Mensch Andi schön dich zu sehen!
Andi Brehme (the person sitting): Ja Frohe Ostern!
Uli: Na dir aber auch!
Andi: Was machst du denn so?
Uli: Na Eier suchen!
Andi: Viel Spass!
Uli: Werd ich haben!

"Hey Andi, nice to see you!"
"yes, happy eastern!"
"Yeah you too!"
"What are you doing?"
"Searching for eggs!"
"Have fun!"
"I will!"

Gerd Müller

While Bill Russell is the biggest winner in sport history, no one has ever been more goal oriented than Gerd Müller. Literally. No matter how, he just got the ball in.

And no one understands how he did it. But he once told the trick (reciting from memory): "the ball needs to go into the goal - and not next to the goalkeeper." So now you know.

Gerd Mueller - goals and skills


After seeing this video, there is no need to go over his statistic, it's breathtaking anyway.

Rogerio Ceni

Actually I wanted to make a post about maybe the greatest free kick taker ever. But before so, I had to post about someone else first, who comes very very close, namely Rogerio Ceni. Ceni is a great free kick taker (46 free kick goals) and seems to be the greatest scoaring goal keeper ever (78 goals in total).

Apparently he is also doing a good job protecting his own goal: GERRARD VS ROGERIO CENI RÓGERIO SÃO PAULO F C INDEPENDENTE
