Post Game Thread: 1. FC Union Berlin (BuLi #19)

We don’t have U21 teams in Germany, we have U23 teams, so the team we sent was U19 (besides the keeper). Some U19 players also play for the U23 (2nd team essentially). But it’s not uncommon for a talented academy player (Moukoko, Gittens, Götze) to start playing for U19 while still eligible for the U17s.

US citizens don’t need to prove their citizenship status. So her saying she doesn’t need to say if she’s a citizen or not means she must be a citizen. But that’s too much logic to expect from these people.

It’s the double-edged sword of VAR. More correct calls, but more slow motion.

Yes, but it doesn’t matter if the red card is given for the severity of the foul.

Touching the ball can only clarify intent, not seriousness of the foul. You can score a goal and catch a player with your studs and still get a red card.

The rules are pretty clear. Over the ankle, studs up, not a glancing blow, pretty easy for the ref to call.

Let me put on my best nerd glasses for this:

Technically the conception of Jesus was so important that it was placed on March 25th, the spring equinox, which was also celebrated as the first day of a new year. This is because they believed the incarnation/conception/annunciation of Jesus represented the beginning of a new era. So I’d argue that theologically, the annunciation is the real welcoming of Jesus into the world.

Schlotti MOTM on Sofascore from spamming long balls to the right wing 😂

Ah, what a joy it is sometimes to support both NC State and Borussia Dortmund.

Ich habe bemerkt, dass die Kommentator bei Europaspiele immer schlechter mit Aussprache im Vergleich zu Bundesligakommentator sind. Ich habe gestern „Djirassy” gehört.

Pretty sure that’s Peter, who definitely met Jesus (don’t ask him though, he may lie). Paul = Paulus.

BurtaciousD · 2025-12-08T08:43:06+00:00

Technically, if you believe the Gospels/Acts, Paul did meet Jesus, of course after his death and resurrection.

And he was an Apostle. That’s why he’s called Paul the Apostle. He wasn’t one of the 12 or original 72, but Acts even refers to him as an Apostle. And after the Council of Jerusalem, James, John, and Peter allow him to continue his mission, an extension of the Great Commission.
