This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Have you seen Becoming Champ10ns on Netflix? by KnightlyRevue
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.
