If you look back through the eras of strikers Bayern have had up front even players like Gomez, Klose, Toni, Mandzukic, etc were all able to put up pretty crazy numbers of goals per 90 minute played. Mario Gomez in 2011 and 2012 averaged a goal every 88 minutes. Where would you have ranked Gomez in the best strikers of 2012?
It’s the combination of the other 9 other outfield players and their relative advantage over other teams, but when I think of the list of players who might not match Harry but could score 35-40 goals for Bayern:
It’s a lot longer than people think.
Ich unterstütz jede Mannschaft außer Deutschland bei der EM. Diese Leute und Spieler haben nicht verdient außer sich nochmal zu blamieren. Nichts hat sich verändert in den letzen zwei Jahren, alles nur Kosmetik. Scheiss auf alles was der DFB macht.
Well intentioned but this sort of helps muddy the waters on the fact that Oxfam currently has no ability to restore any of the aid they normally provide exactly because of the invasion post October 7th attacks by Hamas.
This weirdly glosses over the whole situation and the fact that nothing is currently getting in or out of Gaza, the entire strip is under heavy military siege, that the entire area has had no electricity, water, internet, cellular for weeks, and is currently being invaded by ground forces and bombed hourly.
From reading their statement you’d never get that reality, you’d think Oxfam is going to drive a truck full of supplies into Gaza with Jackson Irvine handing out oat milk lattes to kids.
Absolutely hate multi-club ownership and despise 777’s minority stake in the club, but agreements like this born out of a mutual understanding and friendship that stretches back decades between leadership, players, and fans is something I can get behind.
It’s such a shame none of these teams will ever grow above being small local teams of semi-pros because of the closed MLS.
All done by the ultra groups in cooperation with the club and stadium staff, but self funded and done by hand by fans, not an event company.
German football has seen it’s 3rd (Bremen), Stuttgart (4th), HSV (5th), Schalke (7th), and Hertha (11th) most successful Bundesliga Club, all fan owned, get relegated at least once the last 5 years because of idiotic decisions made by elected boards and Presidents.
German football is still filled with horror stories, but at least fans get to vote out and then vote in new people when it gets bad and don’t have to sit by.
Short of a health emergency, you never leave the stadium early. You stay and then boo the fuck out of them like real fans.
Galatasaray gave it all. Commendable performance.
I’m not familiar with the football map of Istanbul. Is it geographic based, class based, political based, what kind of people are Galatasaray fans?
The sound within the stadium is immense. Love it.
It’s even funnier the 8th time!
I went to at least half a dozen Bayern games in the 90’s at the Olympiastadion, what an amazing venue. Even walking through the Olympic Park today it still gives me that feeling. No idea why there is almost no one at this game though, was this a friendly?
Was this stretch from August to December different in 2013, 2003, 1993? Up until this point of the season, I’m failing to see what “extra” games there are.
