He has always been a bit difficult growing up, but he has a good heart and does everything for his friends and family. When he left the academy and went back to the US, all coaches and other kids were in tears. 2 Quote

Eco Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Whatever happen to the table we used to put together ranked on how we felt about all the Bundesliga teams? It was like the Sympathy table or something....? Quote

Spike Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 So it is a little difficult to explain but in English speaking media there is this stereotype of the 'effeminate German accent'. I'm not sure it actually exists but essentially it's used in character comedy and breaking it down it sounds like the opposite to the other stereotypical 'angry, harsh, German accent'. It essentially sounds like a limp-wristed effeminate flamboyant man (never portrayed as female) but I digress; the point is Werner sounds like this stereotype when he speaks English. Quote

SchalkeUK Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 OK - so away from footie, how many are watching young Danny Altmaier in Paris this morning. One of Tommy' s locals and beginning to shine on the Tennis Courts at last. He's a Dusseldorf guy and I first saw him in Hamburg when he was getting started - he looked fit and good then, but injuries caused a problem for a while. His performance this morning is worth a look! Quote

I don't know much about Mick outside the fact that his father is famous and Mick seems to be a very talented F2 driver. Hulkenburg does appear to be a great guy, so he would be my #2 German. Quote

Towards the end of my time in schools I went locally to Leeds, Bradford, Doncaster, Barnsley - even Sheffield and they were are considered to be somewhat 'local' - even the present England Cricket captain was a great student in Sheffield and Kempen is only 19 miles from Duss so he's as local as I would consider him to be one you would want to watch and support - that final outcome of the game was really impressive for his first time in a major and - although he might have harder games to come, he - and Duss folk - can be proud of the guy!

Zverez is a great talent, but he really needs to work on his attitude. Quote
