Besides, that is part of my problem. These names. Franz Beckenbauer, yeah a Kaiser alright, a guy that in the committee for the German WC got millions of dollars and presents and whatnot for existing, that said that there are no work slaves in Qatar, for he was there, and he saw everyone running around free... a scumbag, and someone who usually said a lot of nonsense and stupid stuff, but whatever. Most Germans apparently just love the guy no matter what he does; this blind loyalty, I find it unbearable. Lothar Matthäus is the definition of douche, exposing his private life with everchanging women, talking nonsense on TV... but there he actually is when I turn my TV on, this cross-breed of Anthony Scaramucchi and Ryan Lochte, unfortunately always being himself and offending my intellect with his stupidity. Well, I guess Völler is ok. And they sure all knew how to kick a ball. But aside from that, eek.
And if you hadn't put your little Austrian tease at the end, I would have spared you with my ruining your memories, which I'm sure I didn't achieve anyway.

Ok, you're right. Rijkaard.  All that German winning must have scrambled my memories somewhat. Just shows how unsportsmanlike other teams can be.
Anyway, I'm a long ways from a soccer nerd. You say Austria and the US were in the '90 cup too? Must have forgotten.

I heard some bad things about Matthaeus from German friends, sure. Private live stuff. But what a midfielder. 

And come on. You're ragging on Beckenbauer? He's before your time probably, but have you watched those old videos of his play? Delivered
two cups, one as player. Deserves blind loyalty.

Voeller is "ok"? You didn't say anything about Klinsmann. 

I haven't really followed BvB much over the last decade because it is so difficult to get Bundesliga stuff with our cable package.  I've only seen one game in the past two years. Like the Steelers, magnificent legacy, and I'm guessing their greatest glory years are still ahead.
