“Have we become a cupcake league? We already have better helmets and gear. Wonder how the old school players feel about this. Not in the back of minds when talking about 18 game season so let's play football please... Even guys using shoulders to hit are getting flagged for helmet-to-helmet. Defense is getting sloppy because guys are avoiding fines and will get worse if suspending comes into play.” IfsFeelsMindPlaySchoolGuyGamesTalkingWonderPlayerFootballFinePleaseSeasonsDefenseShouldersLeagueAvoidingGearsOld SchoolHelmetSloppyCupcakesTacklingNfl Players Author:Phillip Daniels

“Our junior national teams feature increasing numbers of kids from immigrant backgrounds, but who have grown up in Germany. Their roots are elsewhere, but they feel German. They draw on two cultures, and I believe that's been a real and visible factor in the football we've been playing. One of the best and abiding images was Cacau, a Christian with Brazilian roots, celebrating a goal with Mesut Ozil, a Muslim from a Turkish background. Ozil jumped on to Cacau's shoulders, and they gazed up into the stands, both wearing Germany shirts. It was wonderfully symbolic.” FeelsBelieveTwoRealKidsChristianCultureI BelieveGoalNumbersTeamFootballDrawsRootsShouldersBackgroundsFactorsCelebrateFeaturesShirtsGermanyVisibleImmigrantsElsewhereJuniorsSymbolicAbidingTurkishNational TeamTwo Cultures Author:Oliver Bierhoff
