ONTD FOOTBALL

The De Gea saga has seriously been going on for months now, so much that it has made me dislike him, even though it might not be his fault anymore (if he has already decided on his future).

From:

Herbalife is LA Galaxy's sponsor? SMH. It's a company that produces nutrition supplements with crap ingredients and has a pyramid scheme-like business model. If I recall correctly, CR7 is also associated with them.

Oop @ Salah/Fiorentina mess.
Yesterday I read about a Roma player whose transfer has been announced by both clubs, even though he hasn't personally signed anything and doesn't know anything about it, lol? Here is the link (http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2015/07/03/13268532/holebas-i-havent-signed-a-contract-with-watford), if anyone is curious.

Also, Falcao loan to Chelsea has been officially confirmed: http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/07/falcao-loan-agreed.html I wonder how he will do, I hope things turn around for him.

I think Messi too. Well at least when I was in Barcelona a few years ago I saw his face on their posters everywhere. If I recall correctly.

From:

Yup, you're right, I just googled it and he had a deal 2010-2013, while Crispy has it from 2013 to 2018. I doubt any of them actually takes those supplements, at least not on a regular basis.

They say Weidenfeller might join VfB Stuttgart.
And Köln got Jojic from Dortmund.

Lots of changing within Bundesliga.

From:

so Bonmann will be our second choice o_O .. how reassuring..

If you can stream things, BVB is having a charity match right now that is on TV, see my comment below.

From:

ahh, thank you! (only missed a minute of the match xD)

i did see that it was today but i thought it started in about an hour for some reason o_O

From:

Agoney Gonzalez Perez (youngster from Real) and Phillip Hanke to the 2nd team of Dortmund.

Nice, BVB is about to have a charity match against a selection of professional sportsmen from other sports (ski jumping, handball, judo, what have you). Might be funny.

(It's on ARD TV, which can be watched through the "schöner fernsehen" app/site).

From:

i have no idea about who the others sportspeople are :(

From:

eva

I don't know many of them either, as they include sports like rowing etc., Olympic ones, also people who won a place in a quiz. The coach (the one with the fantastic moustache) is a famous German handball coach, including for the NT; and there are some more handball players.

The keeper is a handball keeper as well, so he knows what he's doing even if the goal and the ball are too big. The team captain (he's on the bench now, two places to the left of the coach) is Sven Hannawald, a famous former ski jumper. He's looking really good - he had big psychological problems, including anorexia (ski jumpers are always starving themselves), and he's looking very strong now.

From:

the goalkeeper is a character for sure xD not sure you saw him being interviewed right before the 6th goal xD he looked ecstatic every time he made a save as well

oh no:( i googled Hannawald just now, some of the photos he was definitely looking too thin, good he's doing well now!

From:

eva

Heh, now the keeper is a fan, but they say the fans that got in all play football on an amateur level. The other substitute keeper is a water polo player.

From:

ah, that explains how they managed to not concede in the 10 minutes since he came on, if he actually plays football xD

From:

Kuba! 1-0 xD

From:

PSG seem to have signed Kevin Trapp from Eintracht Frankfurt

and

Juventus have signed Neto from Fiorentina

From:

Wow, great signing for PSG and he'll be a solid backup for Sirigu!

How long before other mega-clubs sign promising German goalkeepers? It seems Rudi Voller is fighting tooth and nail to keep Leno and he has ridiculously low wages (6k/week or something).

From:

6k/week or something

what.................................................... o_O

From:

Yup. Someone got hold of the wages that Neverkusen pay to the players and Leo's on the low end of the range because he's a youth product.

From:

ah.. i really wouldn't fault him for leaving for somewhere else (premier league? idk) unless they do actully offer him more

From:

Real Madrid want him, apparently o_O

From:

i've heard both Man United and Real Madrid want him if they don't get/keep de Gea lol

but i'm not sure how much truth there is to that

anyway

if it was his choice, Leno would probably choose Real, if the title of this old interview is anything to go by

(though i feel like Real, like Bayern, want the national team's first choice keeper to be theirs.. idk)

From:

I think Man Utd are far more likely to get Lloris over Leno, tbh. And people are acting like Valdes is sloppy seconds.

From:

ah, i completely forgot Lloris seems happy to move on as well (i'm with you on Valdes, he's been.. away.. but he's still good)

From:

Auba! 2-0 with assist from Durm

Tuchel looking very cheerful

Edited Date: 2015-07-04 12:48 pm (UTC)

From:

Kampl 3-0

7 and a half minutes in

obviously the others are not football players xD

From:

Auba 4-0 and 5-0, hattrick for him

Edited Date: 2015-07-04 12:57 pm (UTC)

From:

lmfao, the other team's goalkeeper is being interviewed during the match

e: and own goal by the other team (?) 6-0 anyway

e: not own goal, Kuba apparently, lol xD

Edited Date: 2015-07-04 01:06 pm (UTC)

From:

missed two minutes of the second half, also 2 goals

e: one by Maruoka, one an own goal

8-0

and Jonas Hoffman makes it 9-0

Reus 10-0

aand Immobile 11-0

Stenzel 12-0

Hofmann? 13-0

Castro 14-0

Hofmann 15-0

Immobile 16-0

Immobile 17-0

Edited Date: 2015-07-04 02:18 pm (UTC)

From:

lmfao why are there like 40 people on the pitch

not even a 24 man team can score past Bürki (at least on their first chance xD)

Edited Date: 2015-07-04 02:07 pm (UTC)

From:

That's very reassuring, lol.

From:

it was only the last 4 minutes or so, the other team had all of their players on the pitch xD still ended 17-0

(seems most of the players were Olympic gold medal winners (hence their team name, team Gold), and some fans who won something to be a part of the match)

Van Persie to change clubs.

And imo no one wants Isco in Juventus. Morisco fans are the worst.

From:

for 3 years for a reported fee of £2.8m
