Isn't that just a way to ask for money ?Löw is apparently not going to step down. What the fuck.
I bet he has a clause in his contract that says if he gets fired then he's due the rest of his contract pay. And he is the highest paid national team manager, I believe. He gets like 5 million euros per year. It would be dumb to step down and leave all that dough on the table.Löw is apparently not going to step down. What the fuck.
I don't think they actually want him gone at the DFB.Löw isn't Merkel, the people that are angry at him are actually able to kick him out.
I don't understand how Germany didn't manage to field a stronger team.
Switzerland just pissed the bed. The one who shit the bed was the french ref' who found not one but two phantom penalties in stopage time. The VAR sent him packing on the first one as it was offside in the first place, but I guess they were still high-fiving during the second...
On the up side, it had no impact on the standing and it gave us a nice goal for the comedy reel (the penalty hits the frame and then the ball bounces on the keeper's head into the net).
I would not know I watched the game on RTS not SRF! There is only one RTS commentator I like (Jean-François Develey) who is very good for games not involving the swiss team because he keeps a kind of dispassionate ironic distance that is very entertaining. In the duo today was former player Alexandre Comisetti who played in a couple french clubs during his career, and let's just say he did not have many nice things to say about the quality of the refs in Ligue 1!Sascha Ruefer was pretty funny, he doesnt even try to be somewhat neutral while commentating.
