Australian Rules Rugby. Double-Recorrection, "yes it is an oval field".
See here:

Crazy! However an idea to import into rugby. Would be so funny and help developing the discipline.
Polemics on FIFA. First in Foul Attacks the shortcut provokes more comments of the type; kind of, one would say after tournament results and rankings statistically collected for almost twenty years now. Recurring trys to honour the so-called samba football, with major titles meant for champions instead, is best seen as being pretty similar to manipulations, such that the Harlem Globetrotters can win the gold medals in the olympics basketball tournament.
Auf deutsch: Die Protegierung des Sambafußballs, was einen schallend lachen lassen müsste, ist in etwa so was wie der Versuch das Fussballspiel der Tiere unter Wettbewerbsbedingungen live zu drehen. Nicht direkt Wettbewerb-, viel eher Pseudo-, und wer als Nashorn die Murmel aufspiesst erhält Kopfgeld vom deutschen Innenministerium, wenn es die von Blatter ist.
Noch mehr der Sorte. Stinkefinger Effenberg wartet bis heute auf eine offizielle Entschuldigung des DFB für sein unorganisatorisches Verhalten nach der Weltmeisterschaft 1994. Der Mann hatte doch völlig recht, spielt für die Nation, wird ausgepfiffen und soll sich noch dafür bedanken? Nun fällt ja langsam durch, was da hinter den Kulissen abgegangen war, um das Kindchen zu schaukeln. Noch schlimmer ist es wenn man auf Roberto Baggio und Oliver Kahn zu sprechen kommt. Den beiden schuldet nämlich niemand geringeres als die FIFA eine öffentliche(!) Entschuldigung vor der Weltpresse, und dafür die beiden heute die zwei wesentlichsten Exfussballer sind, die auf kriminelle Weise um den Weltmeistertitel gebracht worden sind.
Formula 1. Nothing special to comment about during summer break, Red Bulls are too strong anyway to allow for competition. The master of seven titles, M Schumacher, hardly can score too many points; counting them is possible, not doing better choice as oh so disappointing. Most probably it will take a couple of years to engineer a new generation of Silberpfeils. In case he is succesful as masterbrain for another car impossible to beat, Mika Hakkinen for teammate looks worth giving an advice. Teamname for fans: "The Wheelchair Jurassics".
Hamilton still leaves the impression to be a common danger, very often it looks like he's trying to crash his opponents, especially when overtaking takes place. Hard to say from the distance what kind of person he is, if there is hope for him personally to get away from the usual bastards. His driving style anyway doesn't give too much reason by now. In Hungary for example he turned back onto course after his slide-off the track. It is really pretty dangerous what he's doing and better shall remind it once too often than not enough. Just could it be, this advice better is given to his father, who kind of seems to manage him, bad idea anyway. It could be his life is abrubted much too early, when things go bad once.
On the other his victory some time after hungary made us think he could learn to behave like a colleague for his racing mates. He's still young and hopefully will understand, that in a sports like formula one it's absolutely necessary to be able to trust your opponents. From the distance it looks like he has bad advisors and maybe better takes those given here.
A-Pointing. 25 points are nowadays given for a victory? That's crap!
Football again. German national team gave Brasil a lesson what football means and had beaten them 3:2 netto, with a mere 5:1 brutto result. The penalty for brasil was again a wrong decision, as Lahm played the ball. If brasilians don't know the rules it's their problem, shall they stay out of the arenas. On the other at least one penalty was not given, when the zuckerhut defender pushed the german player; a hand play was completely ignored by the referees. It's a shame to see how the original rules changed to their complete opposite and we all wonder when the sports will be called Handball.
Gesamturteil des Spiels. Deutschland: verbesserungswürdig. Brasilien: Abstauberfußball.
