Berlin, March 27 (Ians) It might have been one of these rare moments of deep satisfaction in the footballing life of Marc-Andre ter Stegen when he slipped into the German shirt for the first games against Peru and Belgium in 2023.
Wearing the number one jersey on his back seemed more than just an outer sign of being Germany’s leading goalie.
Due to the serious leg injury of Manuel Neuer, it is more than a bold guess that Ter Stegen might keep the current status as the 2014 world champions’ first keeper, reports news agency Xinhua.
It has been common sense that he is at the same level as Neuer. But the Barcelona keeper turned 30 when he got the reward of figure 1 shining on his shirt.
After joining Barcelona in 2014, and for some years playing together with Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, he might have gained the missing international experience. Ter Stegen is...

Defending champions France, after emerging victorious in 2018, will be again among the favourites, but many nations have their sights set on lifting the trophy on December 18.
Here’s a look at the top contenders for the title:
Brazil: The South American powerhouse is the eternal favourite at the football World Cup. The five-time winners currently boast strength in depth — with the likes of Neymar, Vinicius Junior and Alisson at their disposal. However, they have not savoured World Cup glory since 2002.

Berlin, Sep 19 (Ians) For over a decade Marco Reus has been on a troubled journey between on-pitch action and recovery measures due to injuries.
Statistics speak of 131 games and 1135 days missed by the Dortmund striker, mounting up to over three years of absence.
While the 33-year-old’s story stands as one of football’s most tragic medical reports, the player capped 48 times has developed resilience and a get-up-and-return mentality.
Ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, setbacks seem to continue.
Full of optimism, German football’s Mr. Injury has started his next delicate race to make it in time as his ups and downs seem to repeat inexorably.
National coach Hansi Flick made clear that he will be waiting for one of the country’s best performers until the last day possible, reports Xinhua.

London, Aug 25 (Ians) Leeds United defender Robin Koch hopes for a return into Germany’s national team for next month’s Nations League games which would also boost his chances of making the World Cup squad.
Koch, 26, won eight caps under former coach Joachim Low and was an unused substitute at last year’s Euro tournament. But he is yet to play under new helmsman Hansi Flick, nominated for games in March but missing them with a coronavirus infection.
“It is my big aim: I want to return as quickly as possible to the national team,” Koch told Thursday’s edition of Kicker sports magazine.
“Last season I was injured at times, and when I was nominated there was my Covid illness. That was very bitter but it is part of it. I want to continue to attack, to play at my best every game.”

Another Champions League failure, out of the Capital One Cup…
Okay, that latter point is far less terminal than the former could prove to be, but the fact of the matter is that Man City only have two trophies left to compete for this season. That would be the upcoming Fa Cup and of course the Premier League – but then, how realistic are Man City’s title ambitions this season after falling 7 points behind rivals Manchester United yesterday afternoon? Sure, United have been leaking goals left right and centre, but as their win over Newcastle United proved yesterday, they are a team who never know when they’re beaten, and it’s never easy to be chasing a side for points with that mentality.
As for Europe… Not even the solace of the Europa League as City were emphatically ejected from all competitions with a juddering thump. Chelsea manager Roberto...

German National Football Team takes third place at World Cup
A German sports agent named Michael Becker is making some interesting claims about the current lineup Germany's national football team.
Der Spiegel quotes him as claiming there's a "bunch of gays" in the new lineup and under the leadership of new head coach Joachim Löw there's some sort of gay conspiracy afoot.
Becker comes off as quite the patriarchal blowhard in this piece. He has an apparent axe to grind since his big client is the German team's injured captain Michael "the bulge" Ballack.
Michael Ballack
Ballack wasn't able to play at the World Cup, but that "bunch of gays" seemed to do quite well without him – securing a third-place finish. And that's not all, young player Thomas Muller got the World Cup's coveted Golden Boot award for most goals by an individual player. (For more on the World Cup generally,...
