Nah, Germans don't really think Götze is Messi. It's just that Löw's unfortunate, yet successful motivational line from the World Cup final ("Show they world that you're better than Messi") is wildly popularised. But at this point, even without Franz Beckenbauer's scathing criticism, it's clear that he's not on that level by far.
Oh, Qatar intends to sue Theo Zwanziger (the former president of the German FA) for libel/slander/being offensive [German-language source]. They say that his choice of word is an "unacceptable slander". Freedom of opinion supposedly "does not cover slander and collective offense!" Zwanziger's "incendiary criticism" isn't founded on any facts. Qatar is "open to objective criticism" and will participate in "controversial discussions".
It's apparently, among other things, about an interview he gave two years ago. Quote: "The endless wealth of this small land Qatar extends over football and sport almost like a cancerous growth".
In *totally* unrelated news, this happened:
Here's the goal Qatar scored in the 9th minute of 8 minutes of added time to beat the Maldives in a WC qualifier http://t.co/TB2tBFUy6O - Brooks Peck (@BrooksDT) 12. Juni 2015
9th minute of 8 minutes of added time in a match where reportedly nothing happened to warrant it. Could they be any more blatant if they tried?
Hmm interesting. Zwangizer does have a point tbh. Qatar is hosting an insane amount of sporting events. But they cannot change the fact that the weather is not really suitable and they need to hire fans to fill the stadium. The question is of course what will happen if the oil prices would hit a low and their wealth vaporises before 2022.
On the other hand, it's our use of oil that makes it possible.
“You’ll be my friend, right Juanfran? You’ll hug me when I need to be hugged and tell me that David De Gea looks like a llama when I need to be told that David De Gea looks like a llama?”
