Have you seen Becoming Champ10ns on Netflix?

It is a documentary looking at the 8 teams who have won the World Cup. As you might imagine I started with Spain’s episode (which was fantastic BTW) but the German episode is very good and a fascinating look at how the country played during the Cold War and what the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall meant to them; especially in the context of winning the 1990 cup as one country.

The reason I mention it is that in the German episode they talk of Gerd Muller’ Bundesliga scoring record. To a man, they all reference it as “one of those unbreakable records” that no one will approach. And yet, here we are with Lewandowski. If he was on any big national team his legend would be massive. He will have to settle with being the best pure #9 of his era.
