Excellent piece on the contrast between German 50%+1 supporter ownership of football clubs and England where clubs are investment assets bought by billionaires; ‘Bayern Munich’s 300,000 members hold a 75% stake; Manchester United is owned by the Glazers.’ theguardian.com/football/2023/…

silly statement from Liverpool what options do they want to explore? Does this include replaying the final of the 2019 Champions League because of the wrongly awarded hand ball penalty at the start of the game?

Liverpool deserved sympathy for being on the receiving end of the worst VAR blunder in PL but think they will fast start losing it by formalising ‘we deserve a replay’ as club position. It’s would set a wild precedent, open a huge can of worms and is just ridiculous

This impressive man might just save the great game of football as well as THFC + Levy. Ange is the man! Lose the ball… get it back. Foul... take it quick while the opponents moan to the Ref. Keep the tempo…. even with 9 men. A saintly Spur for sure. Integrity at last.

The Sun says it's a 'good week to be German' and with five Bundesliga clubs playing in the Champions League next season, I agree! From ticket prices to fan activism, there's lots to like about our football. I'd love to hear what you've enjoyed on footballing trips to Germany 👇

1 - Since his first season with the club in 2014/15, Toni Kroos has made the most appearances (463), provided the most assists (92), completed the most passes (31,769) and created the most chances (967) of any Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 player in all competitions. Technique.

Every time commentators write off the Franco-German relationship, the two sides make a symbolic effort to get it back on track. It doesn’t solve everything, or even that much. But here is Macron speaking in German yesterday in Dresden (not AI-generated)
