Don't check your Whatapp please, and if you do, please know that I"m drinking a lot since Augsburg win this morning. I didn't say MAX, but I could cruise my VW in there, using my blinker and jamming to some music while going around and around.

Juan Pablo Montoya is in this? Holy smokes he's massively famous in the States.

Most cars don't make it to the finish line? Give me my damn VW and I'd make it to the finish.

How many tires do these guys go through?

I got it.

Kidding - I found it. Still not sure what I'm watching and how you win. You say you have to be the first to cross the finish line after 24 hours, but that tells me that you could do 2 laps and win as long as you are first after the 24 hour mark.

How can you watch this? I need das link

Got my confirmation today that I am officially a member of FC Augsburg.

My daughter was telling me a boy at school stole crayons. This was my exact response, which she then repeated and followed it up with our famous fist bump...... Then my wife found out what I'd done and now I'm going to need stitches

We'll see how these new players fit in. I do hope that they are able to avoid a relegation battle, but if I had to pick 5 teams that will battle it out, I' might have include them.

Mate, this league is almost impossible to call between 5th and relegation. If Freiburg finished in 6th, or 7th, I don't think I'd be surprised much...same as if they were in a relegation battle. So who knows if it'll be a fight for Europe, or a fight for relegation...no one really knows at this point.

I think they will certainly struggle this year, they lost a lot of talent, and now their GK is suffering from a long term injury. They have brought in some talent, but I do worry about cohesion. Finishing in the bottom 5 is where I feel like they will end.

Agree, I am only speaking to those that have investors.

Unless you are Bayern, I don't think any real investor is going to be thrilled with the 50+1 rule as it doesn't give them complete control.

I guess so. I explained ti to nudge briefly Been doing research, and narrowed it down to essentially 3-4 teams. Took out Freiburg because of their niche atmosphere, and honestly I like them, but never really could get excited about them. Took out Schalke despite their strong American ties, and then eliminated Union are they are a bit too 'hip' for my liking. And then I researched Augsburg, and rather enjoy their climb to the Bundesliga and their attempt at becoming a mainstay. I sent them a research and they ended up emailing me in length about their excitement for my interest in Augsburg. I asked to see if they had an English membership form, and they did and sent it to me, and I said alright..they are in Bavaria, which is one of my favorite regions, great beer, great kits, and so I have my German membership

Well, I did a thing today. Hope it goes through as the banking questions weren't aren't as clear for what we use here in the States.

WarGames (1983) Absolute classic film, and I did find it rater humorous/sad how the way people stored passwords in the film, is still how people do it today (Spoiler, sticky notes). Great film nonetheless. 9/10

As expected after the Flekken injury -

So the most likable coach in the Bundesliga just became more of a legend?

Mind helping a non-German out please sir? I think the first lines says, I find Bundesliga good.

I was hoping for Zverev, but I really do like both players. Great match though, great speech by Sasha at the end, and it's good to finally see the next gen players starting to make their mark.

Disgusting...

Also, I will say that I wrote an email this weekend to Augsburg staff about becoming a member, and got an email pretty quickly, in English, that started off with an apology for any typos or mistakes. I don't know why, but I thought that was pretty classy as it clearly wasn't someone automated message.

I feel the need to thank thanks to our brother @Tommy for introducing me to GiiRL. I have been crushing them on Spotify recently and I love it.
