In the past 5-6 years, I've grown more interested in good soccer (UEFA, CONMEBOL) than in the NFL. Two 45 minutes halves of constant action, whereas football is ~11 minutes of action interrupted by over 3 hours of commercials, time-outs and assorted butt-scratching.

Two of our players with turkish roots ruined the atmosphere in our team dramatically - this has an impact on the efficiency of our team - since they posed with the dictator Erdogan.

Geez!
And that is why the press has been so nasty to Ozil. I knew something was amiss.

Perhaps these guys were just naive and did not realize the implication of being seen with Erdogan.

However, there is no team spirit in our current team, most likely the match vs. Sweden next Saturday will be Germany's last one in this tournament.

A good very fast soccer match is something fantastic. Portugal vs. Spain was great entertainment.
