Is that true about the boots?Great career.
And kept the same haircut and the same white and blue Adidas Adipure boots since 2012, to the point where Adidas still specially manufacture them just for him.
A wonderful footballer.
Aye.Is that true about the boots?
A tremendous trio who despite winning three CLs on the spin never seem to get the same credit as Barca’s three of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets for some reason.A truly wonderful player. Part of an iconic midfield trio that will be talked about for years to come.

That’s a cool fact thatThe only East German ever to win the World Cup.
Including the 1954 squad?The only East German ever to win the World Cup.
Great intel!The only East German ever to win the World Cup.
Would that team not be West Germany?Including the 1954 squad?
That's mad
Yeah but the players would all have been born before the division.Would that team not be West Germany?
Yeah trueYeah but the players would all have been born before the division.

Random fact: Oleg Kuznetsov was also born in the DDR.The last DDR team, in a pub in Berlin:
This is an interesting read, never knew Ballack was East German:

George Weah used to commute from NYC to Monaco via Concorde for every game.Is it true that he owns or has access to a private jet and flies straight back to Madrid after every away game (that requires a flight) so he can be there in the morning for his kids?
Sure I read he said he would only play on if Madrid offered him a deal, so I assume they haven't!Where does he rank in the greats?

Busquets Xavi Iniesta
Miss the days of watching them battle it out against each other!

I love trivia like this, sends me down a Wiki rabbit hole.The only East German ever to win the World Cup.
Just checked, looks like there was just one season, 2014-15, Kroos signed in 2014, Xavi was gone by 2015.Not sure they ever did?
Casemiro was with Porto in 14/15.Just checked, looks like there was just one season, 2014-15, Kroos signed in 2014, Xavi was gone by 2015.
And has a belter of the name.I live trivia like this, sends me down a Wiki rabbit hole.
Helmut Schön was also East German, but only won it as manager.
So he was, I only saw that he signed for Real Madrid in 2013, didn’t check that he was out on loan for that season.Casemiro was with Porto in 14/15.
Now that is a stat. Where did you see that?Great career.
And kept the same haircut and the same white and blue Adidas Adipure boots since 2012, to the point where Adidas still specially manufacture them just for him.
A wonderful footballer.
He's the only player of East German nationality by birth to win it. How could players born before the division have East German passports if the state didn't exist.Yeah but the players would all have been born before the division.
Many people born in the East would have fled West to avoid the Soviet advance.
