Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Congrats from GER to all those who supported or even napped the German team!
You have been much more confident than I was myself after those defeats of Bundesliga-teams Leverkusen, Dortmund and München vs. Real Madrid in this year`s Champions League, after all those injured players at the end of the Bundesliga- and CL-season and that desastrous preparation camp in North-Italy just before the WC-tournament …
Finally, Gary Linacker was right again!
He deserves the "Bundesverdienstkreuz" (that is the German version of
OBE
) or even better a big German culture-prize for contemporary pop-art philosophy …

He would have had a knighthood in England, if the Germans hadn’t scored that fluky goal in the 1990 semi

… and how many English players missed their penalty-shot in that and some other matches?
… and what happened in that 1966 final: for the 3rd goal the ball didn’t cross the line, while the 4th goal there had been fans on the pitch = 2 goals, that were not correct according to the rules.
In the only tournament of some importance, an English team won, that team was very lucky and had one more player (the referee!) on the pitch.
To make it short: The German team-members of 1966 always said: the English were the better team during that tournament and their WC was deserved.
So it’s useless to argue any more – since 1966 the verdict is obvious and doubtless: GER 4 stars, ENG 1 star in WC, and in European championship-tournaments a similar picture.
Kind regards to Gary Linacker btw.

By the way well done on the World Cup
Agreed and thank you very much!
I’ll never forget that evening in April 1972 (the day, when High Top won his 2,000 Gns.), when I as a member of a school-class of 15yo on their 10-days England-journey had the luck to watch a total-outsider GER-team winning at the old Wembley Stadium (QF of European Championship). We had the noise of 100,000 people in the stadium in our ears for weeks.
It was one of the greatest moments of my life. In that night at Wembley it started, what has found a contemporary end at Maracana 42 years later.
