Thanks for posting that. It hit on a point I was also going to make, that today, kids can now watch Premier League/Bundesliga/La Liga games, just as easily as baseball and football games.
When I was growing up, if I wanted to see soccer, I had to go to the Spanish channel, or PBS to watch “Soccer Made In Germany.”
“...PBS to watch “Soccer Made In Germany.””
Toby Charles!! “Ooooh look at that!”
Our PBS station also showed old English first division games in the 70s (no PL back then).
Nottingham Forest/Liverpool games were incredible.
Thanks to those shows I think I knew every player (and what club they played for) on the England and (West) Germany rosters for the 82/86/90 World Cups.
With Mario Machado, right? I watched that, too.
I just remembered when Kevin Keegan was playing for Hamburg. We had a guy on my high school team, that looked just like him......All the girls were crazy for him, LOL.
Ah yes, good 'ole Cloughie. I still say whomever made "The Damned United" knew squat about Cloughie.
With Mario Machado, right?”
The man himself.
I just noticed they have some these games on YouTube (1st Division and Soccer Made in Germany). I’ll have to check them out.
Also, on YouTube, they have “Match of the 70s” that goes through each year of English soccer, really cool stuff, one thing I noticed is that the way they used to pack the fans in like sardines, it’s no wonder that something like Hillsborough ultimately happened.
Taking our daughter today to an audition for a large hardware chain/store commercial.
Fingers crossed (In Germany it's pressed thumbs - Daumen drücken!)
Today's Quarter Finals:
Starting in about 15 minutes :)... Germany v Denmark
Austria v Spain
England v France
Two minutes Germany 1-0.
Germany Out!
Full Time: Germany 1-2 Denmark
Germany Coach promised a victory against Denmark but it all went downward after three minutes.
I guess that couldn't go on forever.
Let’s see this years winner top that.
Heads should roll.
Time to move on and root for France. Why not?
Holders Germany were knocked out of Women's Euro 2017 as Denmark fought back to stun the eight-time winners in an entertaining quarter-final.
Bidding for a seventh consecutive European title, the pre-tournament favourites had led when Isabel Kerschowski fired in early on.
But Nadia Nadim headed Denmark level after half-time and Theresa Nielsen's late header completed the comeback.
Defeat meant Germany have lost at the last-eight stage for the first time.
More to follow.
I just inflated four party ballons for my daughter. :)
