Hard to replace too that time of the year.

That's how you announce the Olympics Squad with style.

Surprised they didn't take it all away from her.

Very wholesome. <3

I love these officiall Euro or World Cup songs. I think my favourite though was Nelly Furtado's Forca back in 2004?

Making room for the youngsters. I wonder if others will follow.

He was already at Bremen last season? Did he only play for the 2nd team?

Maxi Eggestein wants to leave.

Nice one! Now I can put my phone back on silent so nobody bothers me.

I still can't fathom that our bosses let him go. Born and raised in Düsseldorf, a Fortuna fan through and through, and they just let him go. How could they not realize his potential? Absolutely criminal.

Don't watch FC Bayern TV though. Wouldn't want you to get "infected".

Ooof. There's the usual dodgy illegal streams that don't work properly most of the time. Here in Germany it's mostly shown on a streaming platform called Magenta TV from Telekom. But other than that I have no idea. It's actually rather difficult to watch it for Germans as well unless you are a Magenta TV subscriber. https://www.magentasport.de/

Just finished "The Umbrella Academy" Season 1. Very entertaining. The characters decisions and motives are not always quite logical, especially towards the end of the season, but as I said, it's very entertaining. Quite impressed with Aidan Gallagher's acting. Basically he's a 13 year old boy (I believe the actor is like 15 in season 1?) who has to portray a much more mature character. And he does it very well.

Mostly Düsseldorfer EG yea. Go to the stadium sometimes too.

Yea, another decision I do not understand. I really hope Flick is more open minded when it comes to squad selections. I mean England for example had players from Leeds in their squad etc. I'd never expect Löw to select someone from like Augsburg, Mainz or Bochum. But that's just not the right approach.

I'm not even sure what Draxlers performances at PSG were like this season. So I can't comment on that. But yea, we certainly miss someone upfront who can just bang them in. I think Klose and Gomez were the last ones. I don't think there's anyone around at the moment who could fill that position right now though? Lukas Nmecha maybe one day. But still, the whole squad selection could have been much better. I would have also taken Florian Wirtz to the Euros. We lacked so much creativity going forward.

Play with more courage. We definitely had better players than England on the pitch today individually. Should have formed a braver and more attacking unit out of this. Except they always played the safe pass today, and passed it back to Rüdiger, Hummels or Neuer. No risky through ball, no courage, no confidence. I also never understood how Löw didn't nominate Ridle Baku who is probably the best German right back right now. He could have played in that position and we would have Kimmich in central midfield. But no, Löw kept playing Kroos and Gündogan through almost the whole tournament (except today), which just lacks fighting power. Plenty of better squad selections were available throughout. Like against France I would definitely have used a proper DM like Emre Can against France's attacking side. Ah well, it's over, and now we have to see how Hansi Flick does things. Löw was just too stubborn. I know we won the WC in 2014, but I still maintain the thought that we didn't win it because of him, but despite him. I think a REALLY good coach would have won more titles with Germany in 15 years.

He picked his nose, ate whatever he got out of it, and then smelt his hand as well. What a way to go.

Extremely random.
