There may have been a tear in my eye or two, you can't prove anything *coughs* I looked at them shortly before the WC, I guess. When I was already emotionally dragged back into the national team and *coughs* yes... erm, I know what you mean *coughs* ;)
Nope, don't think there'll be a documentary. That would be known by now. Last time Sönke Wortmann (the director) was seen everywhere they were, so, no. But I think they covered everything very good with all the vids on the homepage and the twitter stuff. They surely can still improve when it comes to the videos because, duh, I stopped counting on how often they showed the bus driving away in those. PEOPLE, not that. GO INTO THE LOCKER ROOM, DAMN!
Hahahaha. Schalke. To be honest, I don't even know anymore. It was just there. I dislike this team so very much (maybe as much as nearly all the rest of Germany dislikes the Bayern). Maybe it's also because a few years ago there were a lot of players playing there that I really didn't like, maybe it's also because of all the very very embarrassing drama surrounding that club all the time, maybe it's just that there are so many unappealing people around that club (such as ex-players or ex-officials and such). Maybe it's because I don't like the jersey's or them being financed by Gazprom.
Apropos, while we're at it. Just so you know: I also have VERY big problems with Stuttgart, lol. That's maybe because of the season 06/07 where I only saw them kicking and hitting and playing in a VERY unfair way all the time. In my book, that hasn't changed yet, so, I love to rant about Stuttgart ;)
Also mild dislike about Wolfsburg and Leverkusen because those two are "company football teams", which means way way back they started out as teams from a company (in those cases: VW and Bayer) where only members of the staff played and they played against other company teams and then at one point they started to play in German leagues etc. - The thing is, they of course still get backed up financially by their companies. Leverkusen still has them in their name (Bayer 04 Leverkusen) and in Wolfsburg there isn't much beside the VW-factory anyway. I just adoooore to snark about those two. Just because. They amuse me (the malicious joy kind of way) so much. ;)
Having something like this is especially helpful when your team just fucked up as well and you at least have something to laugh about. And one of those teams never fails in doing that. Of course, sometimes it's us that the rest of Germany laughs or bitches or hates about but one gets used to that, too.
Yes, the Arjen-tragedy. He was in such good condition last season!! Our doctors and physiotherapist did such good work and then he's like 2 minutes with the national team and BAM, all the work was for nothing. He gets injured so *fast* and I already was scared about that when he first came to us but then there was nearly no injury at all and now this. Really angers/saddens me!
