Gunners linked with German duo
Like every pre-season, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has chosen to remain silent about his transfer targets. Unless pen is put to paper, as in the case of new signing Laurent Koscielny, the Frenchman refuses to discuss the impending arrival of any player to the Emirates Stadium. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the media is once...
Arsenal ready to make stunning £20 million bid for World Cup sensation
Before the World Cup started last month, not many had ever seen the fella on the right play football but just three weeks later and Mesut Ozil is now a household name around the world. The German midfielder has been, without doubt, one of, if not the, player of the tournament in South Africa and...

Reliving The Best Goals Of The World Cup
This was spotted on 101GreatGoals this morning and it’s absolutely wonderful.

World Cup Talent Watch
Overall, it’s been a pretty disappointing start to the World Cup so far. At least, that is, with the irritating exception that is Germany who annihilated an incredibly poor Australian side with all the efficiency and aplomb that the Germans were expected to be without this time around. With that readily in mind, let’s articulate...

At least Nike seems to think so – which is rather convenient as Mesut Özil is on the payroll as one of their superstars. Of course I seem to think so too, but that’s neither here nor there. (Alright maybe it is.)
Nike & Co. have been rebranding everything circular in Germany with a double dot...
Germany World Cup 2010 Profile
It feels like a lazy stereotype to say that Germany are always there or thereabouts at World Cups. But if you look at Germany’s World Cup record (down at the bottom of this post) you’ll see that that stereotype is based on fact. Even at World Cup 2006, when expectations for the team were lower...
