Sounds like a name you'd give to the local ganja dealer

As you should, he’s bringing you to the German Irish bar after our Sunday league game haha.

Don't know why but I find it wholesome/strangely satisfying to watch players and managers of the opposite sides having a laugh together ♥️

u/BalinTheMaster avatar

I mean it's should be a "friendly" game

u/starxidiamou avatar

Isn’t it pretty clear why one would find “opponents” getting along together more wholesome than people who are on the same team?

u/TulioTrivinho avatar

I think the key word was manager, I know what they probably meant. Like a manager of the opposing team helping the player up from a challenge, or handing them the ball.

u/starxidiamou avatar

Understood, but the same logic still applies if team = players and managers. If anything it can be argued it's even more understanding since managers need to be more composed for their job, and aren't necessarily in the thick of the game and emotions (yes, even Klopp and Simeone)-- meaning they're not getting their heart-rate up in the same way running around.

He is probably bemused at Tchouameni's touch. Mbappe had better control when he was 5.

u/AdamTreff avatar

Foreshadowing of what?

Nagelsmann to Madrid confirmed

I think he was laughing because Nagelsmann got a Yellow card

Great foreskinning

WTF was that heavy touch by Tchouameni though

u/Thurak0 avatar

Probably why Kroos engaged that hard as well.

u/nova_rock avatar

yeah, you see someone mess up and you know you can just spring on them.

u/Masoouu avatar

That's called a pressing trigger

u/nova_rock avatar

That touch is more than a pressing trigger, it’s an invitation to get crunched

u/Weekly-Monitor763 avatar

A pressing trigger is an action by the opposition that you have agreed as a team you will press. This is just a player reacting to a bad touch with a hard tackle cause his mate got tackled just before.

I know that in my mind but i always suck at doing that when defending, i either commit when they still have control or fail to commit fast enough when they fucked up.

u/josephoshaughnessy avatar

That’s why u don’t have 5 champs

u/nova_rock avatar

It depends at level and your instincts, if you play Sunday leagues, just figure out your own strengths and weaknesses, if seeing their opportunity is not your strength look at what you can do best, sometimes it is just solidly not committing and keeping them from having easy ways past you.

Who's getting booked on the touchline here?

Nagelsmann

For laughing. Germans are not supposed to do that.

Pretty sure nagelsmann went for some banter against the ref, cause he’s letting a lot of room for (let’s say) heavy contact. Normally a great decision but I feel like in a friendly you could run a bit of a more strict line to prevent I injury’s.

Great tackle

Friendly fire!

It’d be good if the camera was in the stadium rather than in the apartment block overlooking the pitch

Im out the loop wasn't he retired from international play? Any tips on how he maintained his hairline after hitting 33?

u/EndeGelaende avatar

somehow kroos returned

u/LexisKingJr avatar

This fucking line gives me PTSD

It's really as simple as those three words bringing such an overwhelming feeling of disappointment.

Kroos kind of forgot about the retirement

Both of you, straight to hell

Pulled the esports retirement

u/kaori_cicak990 avatar

Aaah Germany will win euro, poor england football never coming home /s

Whats the sarcasm?

would actually be kind of insane if Kroos comes out retirement, wins the euros with Germany, and then retires again

u/kaori_cicak990 avatar

if that actually happend:

kros "this how you do it noob now do it without me. now let me retired again for playing mind game with perez so i can retired at RM"

He retired but came back

33 ain't that old bro

Tell that shit to my hairline :/

Finasteride to keep what you have and then get a hair transplant. Sadly the only rescue for us... the miracle solution just won't arrive. :(

u/RuaridhDuguid avatar

Be careful with the hair transplants. A buddy got one to conceal his receding hairline and it looked awful initially. Really... uniform and straight lines on the edges. Now it looks okay from the front, but you realise that behind the artificially thickened area it is thinning. Hopefully not too much more, or he'll 'have' to do something about it...As in, further work and expense. His call, and he's not poor by any metric, but tbh I was surprised he didn't just go the shaved head with beard route as it'd have looked good on him and he already has the beard. One upside is that at least he is noticeably taller than average, so at least fewer people will notice the crown and surrounds.

Minoxidil? I’ve been using it for almost 3 months and I can already see baby hairs but still a long way to go

He very clearly just didn't want to play in Qatar so he skipped it.

Edited

I respect the fuck out of him for that.

No, the german media forced him to retire by constantly shitting on him.

True that German media was shitting on him, but he retired because he wanted to spend more time with the family and also stay fit for Real Madrid. Now, as he's still playing at the top level, he thought how cool it would be if his children see him play for Germany, so he came back. Obviously, Nagelsmann, being the coach, also played a big role.

u/OCV_E avatar

Obviously also play a tournament in Germany. Maybe creating another "Sommermärchen"

Apparently, "Euro tickets are too expensive, if DFB won't pay for it, then I'll come back."

He was welcomed back with open arms. And regarding the hair: probably money and german genes

u/eipotttatsch avatar

As a German:

German genes aren't great in the hair loss department

Sebastian Vettel can confirm.
