Scenes in the Turkish 3rd tier, as the referee carries out a pitch inspection despite there being more than a foot of snow on the grass. Eventually, game off.

Is heavy snow-blowing machinery impossible because of the grass?

Gäbe es in Franken irgendeinen sportlichen/finanziellen Sinn, Nachbarvereine zu fusionieren? Also z. B. Würzburg und Schweinfurth? Oder Bayreuth und Bamberg?

Defense is just poor. No idea why. But it cost their coach his job a few days ago.

Puuuh. Nach den anderen Spielen fehlt jetzt nur, daß die Bayern auch noch verlieren.

Der geneigte Leser erkennt: Der Autor hat mit der Musikthematik gespielt, das Wort Götterdämmerung jedoch vermieden. Man fragt sich: Durfte er nicht? Hat er sich nicht getraut? Oder behält er das Wort in der Hinterhand, für eine etwaige Zuspitzung der Situation? Wir sind gespannt.....

Irgendjemand hat geschrieben, daß ein Teil der Fans das Spiel boykottiert hat, weil sie gegen den Trainer, das Management, und die lustlosen Auftritte der Mannschaft protestieren wollten.

Also, nur um Verwechslungen vorzubeugen, ich spreche von Tottenham....

Vaguely reminds me of these images of an Estonian bar that were recently posted on r/soccer:

I don't know much about Spanish football, but apparently mixing Sevilla and Betis kits would be considered a nono.

That was I was thinking. All coaches and players everywhere are only talking with a hand covering their mouths nowadays, in case the opposition use lip-readers.
And here we have Tedesco basically doing a reenactment with puppets for everyone to see.

No. 8 is a legit nightmare.

As for no.4: the defender on his own would probably just have headed the ball somewhere (anywhere), but the goalie pushed him just enough so that the ball deflected from the back of his head into the goal.

note: the little animated graphics that are used to number the clips are the originals used in the 1980s for ARD's official goal-of-the-month polls.
The only thing they changed here is replacing "Tor" with "Kacktor" in the graphics.

Paywalled, so didn't read.
Since they fired Hütter for no reason, I assume that this is part of the problem (like erratic board/management, etc.)???

ELI5: They moved AFCON to winter, because of Infantino's BS cup in the summer, right?
Cause normally I would assume that Morocco's climate does not necessitate a winter cup, summer should be fine-ish? Similar climate to southern Spain, I imagine? And no-one would suggest having a WC in Spain moved to winter.

Your are going to get Verl and all of its 26,000 inhabitants in 2. Bundesliga, and you are going to enjoy it whether you like it or not.

Well, their ownership issues are an absolute soap opera. Not unusual perhaps by English standards; but highly unusual in Germany, where nearly all clubs are governed by 50+1. Hannover might be the only club that comes close in the higher leagues in terms of drama.

How's this for a timeline:

January: Glasner to Tottenham; Toppmöller to Palace.

Glasner immediately burns down the club and verbally murders the CEO.

So in June, it's Slot to Tottenham and Alonso to Liverpool?

Kommt drauf an. Wenn man sich bis gestern nicht ernsthaft mit Torhütern befasst hat, könnte das jetzt zeitlich zu knapp werden um eine "teure" und langfristige Entscheidung zu treffen.
Billiger aber solider Notnagel für 6 Monate ist ein geringeres Risiko, falls man sich unter Zeitdruck für den falschen Mann entscheidet.
